The global coronavirus pandemic continues to spread. Thankfully, parts of normal life are returning. Employees are slowly going back to work. State parks are opening. Sports leagues like the Budesliga and the NFL are ramping up activities.

Light is (finally?) at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel. However, new “normals” may be regular “normals”. Trade shows have been “normal” to business. Will they continue to be so? Some of us hope so.
In the mean time, many large trade show events have switched gears in real time to virtual platforms. Marketing departments, event planners and logistics experts have adapted to the new “normal” as well.
OCP Virtual Summit – Gone Virtual!
As data rate requirements approach and surpass 112 Gbps PAM4, developers are challenged with balancing increasing throughput, scalability and density demands with concerns such as power consumption, signal integrity, cost and time-to-market.
Samtec helps address these challenges with industry-leading expertise in high-performance interconnect design, and innovative strategies and technologies for the demands of next generation data transmission.

This new event offers a rich, interactive experience open to anyone. All key components of the Global Summit, including keynote sessions, executive tracks, an Expo Hall and others are incorporated.
The Samtec booth at OCP Virtual Summit will feature the latest collateral, videos, product demos and technical resources supporting our 112 Gbps PAM4 product solutions. Technical experts from Samtec will be available to discuss customer-specific applications. Many of these will be on display in the Samtec booth at the OCP Virtual Summit.
In addition, Samtec Silicon Valley is located near the Santa Clara Convention Center, the traditional home of the OCP Summit. See the picture below.

When our business lives return to normal, or return to our new normal, you are welcome to swing by our office for a tour. One key stop on the tour are the variety of of 112 Gbps PAM4 live product demonstrations featured at OCP Virtual Summit. These demos incorporate a variety of products and design configurations.
