Cisco executive Bill Gartner highlighted a recent Cignal AI report in a note talking about the benefits and milestones of the company’s Routed Optical Networking (RON) architecture. He stated that 400G pluggables have been deployed by more than 200 customers in metro and data center interconnect (DCI) applications.
This makes the integration of optics and routing more efficient and economical and helps our customers simplify and reduce expenses, while also enabling faster time to market. According to the latest Cignal AI “Active Insight” report, the market for router-hosted pluggables is already sizeable but will continue to further grow as operational issues are solved and new generations of optics evolve.
