OFC 2022 – Sneak Peek
Here is a sneak peek of the hot topics of discussion at OFC 2022
Beyond 400ZR – Expanding the Reach of Pluggable Coherent
Learn How High-Performance Coherent Pluggables Can Address a Broad Set of Network Applications
400ZR vs 800G – Classifying Coherent Technology
The historical classification of coherent optical technology (Gen1, Gen2, etc.) is no longer sufficient. Therefore, Cignal AI will now recognize and classify coherent DSP technology by its maximum baud rate and whether the DSP is optimized for Performance or Compact applications.
OFC21: Marketwatch State of the Industry
Quick thoughts on equipment spending trends as well as a current view on the role of pluggable coherent modules.
GEN90P Coherent Trials and Deployments
Cignal AI continues to track announcements of 5th generation (800Gbps-capable, 90+ GBaud) optical trials and deployments.
The Growth of Compact Modular in APAC
Compact Modular sales (and hence disaggregation) have historically lagged in APAC versus the rest of the world, so APAC’s sudden and extraordinary growth over the past few quarters means that something has changed and deserves a closer look.
