Now Spanning the Entire Network

New 800ZR/ZR+ pluggables deliver higher performance at lower space/power per bit than the previous generation. Coupled with new hardware that makes them easier to deploy in existing networks, operators can extend pluggables from metro to regional and selected long-haul applications.

Join experts from Colt, Lumentum, and Nokia to examine core technology, deployment choices, tradeoffs, and what’s next on the 1.6T roadmap.

Why Attend

• Features & Requirements – Review current pluggable capabilities and the tradeoffs among features, power, and performance, including spectral shaping, encryption, and high-baud PCS.
• Network Impact – Hear the implications of expanding pluggable coherent use and how to design for maximum benefit.
• IPoDWDM Alternatives – See how thin transponders add demarcation, client grooming, and advanced QoS while still leveraging pluggable optics.
• Scaling and Roadmap – Understand how adopting pluggables now sets up future efficiency with 1.6T class coherent modules and multi-rail open line systems (OLS).
• Operator Realities – Learn how operators balance fiber-capacity maximization with the cost/power/space efficiency of pluggables, IPoDWDM, and thin transponders.
