Day 1 Session 1: Where Next for Coherent Pluggable Optics?

LightReading Virtual Online

The deployment of pluggable coherent optical modules has enabled service providers to re-architect their DCI and metro optical networks. These modules can be plugged directly into switches and routers, removing the need for dedicated optical transport systems and enabling the transport of IP traffic directly over DWDM with the use of open line systems (IPoDWDM).…

Coherent Pluggable Optics: The Next Frontier

LightReading Virtual Online

The coherent pluggable optics revolution is not just for hyperscalers. Communications service providers (CSPs) see coherent pluggable optics – at 400G and other data rates – as essential for driving down network costs, fostering innovation, boosting efficiency, and rearchitecting their networks. At 400G, high output power optics (0 dBm) are particularly important for CSPs. Meanwhile,…
