UCLA Anderson Forecast Issues a Recession Watch

March 19, 2025

Historically, recessions occur when multiple economic sectors contract at the same timeCurrent factors to consider include: a slow-down in the manufacturing sector; reductions in work force because of immigration policy; and cuts in federal government employment

LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A newly released analysis of the Trump administration’s economic policies leads the UCLA Anderson Forecast to issue a recession watch. While there are no signs of a recession happening yet, it is entirely possible that one could form in the near term. Authored by UCLA Anderson Forecast economist Clement Bohr, the study delineates the factors that led to this watch.

From the post-Civil War recession of 1873 to today, recessions have occurred when multiple economic sectors contract at the same time. The new study notes that:

The current reduction in the work force resulting from new immigration policy will create labor shortages in agriculture, health care, leisure and hospitality, and construction.The new tariff policy will engender higher prices for automobiles, apparel, electronics and the inputs to manufacturing.The downsizing and restructuring of the federal government will reduce employment in government and at government contractors.

If these, and their consequent feedback into the demand for goods and services, occur simultaneously, they create a recipe for a recession. However, If the impact of these policies is sequential, then a 1995-style slowdown might be possible. As this trifecta of dramatic policy changes has not been experienced before, there is no data to indicate which will happen. Consequently, the Anderson Forecast is on recession watch.

About UCLA Anderson Forecast
UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California and the strength of the state’s rebound since 1993. The Forecast was credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to call the recession of 2001 and, in March 2020, it was the first to declare that the recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had already begun.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, will be demonstrating its second generation of fully retimed 1.6T OSFP transceivers operating during OFC 2025.

The second generation of fully retimed 1.6T OSFP and OSFP-RHS transceivers use a 3nm DSP and support enhanced monitoring capabilities for 1.6T and per 200G channel basis. Offering modules based on 3nm DSP will reduce the overall module power consumption by around 20%. Enhanced VDM functionality will enable the reporting of pre and post FEC bit error rates as well as symbol error distributions.

The second generation 1.6T OSFP offering includes:

EOLO-13T-5H-xDxx, 2DR4 OSFP with 2 MPO-12 connectorsEOLO-16T-02-xxx, 2FR4 OSFP with 2 duplex LC connectors

Both Silicon Photonics and EML variants are available for the above types.

“3nm DSPs will accelerate the adoption of 1.6T transceivers”, explains Sean Davies, VP Sales, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “More and more 200G SerDes based Ethernet platforms are becoming available thus expanding the addressable market. The reduced power consumption and enabling of advanced monitoring features are welcomed by Ethernet equipment vendors and hyperscalers. We are very pleased to be able to offer OSFP and OSFP-RHS variants.”

We will be showing live demonstrations of a 1.6T, 800G, LPO, LRO and MCF optical transceiver solutions, at the Eoptolink booth #2943 at OFC 2025, San Francisco, CA. You are welcome to come and visit us.

March 29, 2025

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, is demonstrating its 1.6T multimode transceiver operating at 212Gb/s per lambda during OFC 2025.

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) operating at 850nm are the dominant optical laser technology for less than 100m transmission distance of short reach connectivity. At OFC 2025 in San Francisco, Eoptolink is launching its 1.6T OSFP 2VR4 optical transceiver.

VCSEL lasers operating at 106Gb/s are incorporated in many of today’s short reach links built with 400G SR4 and 800G SR8 optical transceivers. The next evolutionary step is to increase the data-rate in these connections to 212 Gb/s.

The 1.6T OSP 2VR4 transceiver has two optical MPO-12 interfaces each operating at 800G using optical four lanes at 212Gb/s. The transceiver offers a suitable method to migrate legacy multimode installations to newer switch platforms.

“Eoptolink continues to lead the way as an optical transceiver innovator and we are excited to get early access to this 200G VCSEL technology”, explains Dirk Lutz, Distinguished Engineer, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “Eoptolink has an excellent execution track record, which is one of the key reasons why companies choose to partner with Eoptolink to explore the cutting-edge technologies.”

We will be showing live demonstrations of a 1.6T, 800G, LPO, LRO and MCF optical transceiver solutions, at the Eoptolink booth #2943 at OFC 2025, San Francisco, CA and welcome to visit us.

BHUBANESWAR, India, March 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — KIIT Deemed to be University (https://kiit.ac.in/), Bhubaneswar, India, continues to expand its global footprint through strategic partnerships with reputed international institutions. It has recently signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with three prestigious universities – the University of Tulsa (USA), Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology (New Zealand), and the University of Washington-Bothell (USA). These collaborations offer students and faculty enhanced academic and research opportunities.

As part of its global education initiative, KIIT has partnered with the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, to launch a dual degree program in B.Tech. This 2+2 model allows students to complete two years at KIIT and the remaining two years at the University of Tulsa, earning a degree from both institutions.

Beyond the dual degree program, 40 KIIT students from various disciplines, including engineering and liberal studies, will participate in short-term courses at the University of Tulsa, gaining hands-on experience and international exposure. This partnership also facilitates faculty exchanges, joint research projects, and sabbatical opportunities between the two institutions.

Further strengthening its international presence, KIIT has signed an MoU with Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology, New Zealand. Signed in the presence of Mr. Christopher Luxon, Hon’ble Prime Minister of New Zealand, the partnership aims to enhance teaching and research capabilities, focusing on articulation pathways in commerce and management at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Toi Ohomai is a leading vocational and applied tertiary education provider known for its industry-aligned programs and hands-on learning approach.

KIIT has also forged an impactful academic collaboration with the University of Washington-Bothell (UWB), USA, through an immersive learning initiative. A delegation of 18 members from UWB, during their visit to KIIT, worked with KIIT’s management students to analyze real-world business challenges faced by local enterprises and develop sustainable solutions.

This initiative brought together students from both universities, providing them with valuable international exposure and practical learning experiences. The collaboration represents an innovative model for global academic engagement, encouraging universities to move beyond traditional exchange programs and embrace collaborative teaching models.

With over 350 MoUs signed with leading universities and corporations worldwide, KIIT has established itself as a hub for academic excellence and cultural exchange. Dr. Achyuta Samanta, Founder, KIIT, KISS & KIMS, emphasized the importance of such collaborations in equipping students with a global perspective, AI integration, and skill development opportunities that align with the evolving global workforce.
