Did you miss the Light Reading webinar 'Coherent Optics at 400G, 800G and Beyond'? Check out the recording featuring Juniper Networks as a main sponsor. Date: 10/27/2021 Optical networking is hitting an inflection point as coherent innovation splits on two different, but equally important, axes.
On one axis, embedded optics drives capacity toward 1 Tbit/s per wavelength as the laws of physics brush up against maximum channel capacity as defined by the Shannon limit. On the other axis, compact pluggable optics are converging at 400Gbit/s transmission, the data rate that is set to play a dominant role in optical networks over the next decade.
In this special webinar, Heavy Reading will be joined by leading experts from Cisco, Infinera and Juniper to unveil key findings from Heavy Reading’s 2021 global coherent optics operator survey and plot a roadmap for both high-performance embedded optics at 800 Gbit/s and 400G pluggable optics.
Topics addressed will include:
- Operator plans on converging 400Gbit/s coherent pluggable optics onto routers
- Biggest benefits and challenges of higher-performance 400G ZR+ coherent optics
- How different pluggable optics form factors impact network architectures and deployment decisions
- How to implement the new coherent innovations in a brownfield world - Potential benefits and use cases for upcoming coherent point-to-multipoint optics
- Operator requirements and timelines for embedded 800Gbit/s coherent optics
- What happens after 800G?
