The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) released its 800ZR coherent interface implementation agreement (IA) and also released updates to the foundational 400ZR IA. The OIF has led the development of these highly successful pluggable coherent interfaces, as documented in the recent 400ZR success story authored by Cignal AI. Scott Wilkinson
400ZR and its derivatives are by far the most successful coherent technology of all time. Without 400ZR, data center development would not be where it is today.
