Acacia announced further enhancements to its 100G coherent pluggable product line targeted at edge and access applications. This CFP2-DCO bi-directional module is designed for telecommunications and cable operators to increase capacity in fiber-limited networks.
“Cignal AI recognized an opportunity for 100G coherent in the edge and access market back in 2018, and Acacia is the first to aggressively pursue it,” said Scott Wilkinson, Lead Analyst at Cignal AI. “The time is right for network operators, such as cable MSOs, to bring coherent technology to their fiber constrained networks, where Acacia’s bi-directional module can help them increase capacity.”
