years. We segment it into three categories – Telecom, Datacom and Access. This presentation will include market data for these three segments including some details on optics to enable 5G wireless, data centre, high-speed Telecom (100G and above) and PON. Future of pluggability for multi-Tbps data centre interconnects Finisar: Martin Zirngibl, CTO Currently all short and medium reach fibre optics communications are based on pluggable modules because they make systems easily serviceable and minimise upfront cost. However, the ever-increasing I/O capacity is a challenge to the pluggable model because of the power and footprint penalties that this architecture incurs. Open line system innovations, DCI control-plane disaggregation, automation and analytics Infinera: Loukas Paraschis, senior director The evolution to optical open line system (OLS) architectures, initially introduced in DCI transport, is increasingly adopted globally by network operators. System innovations in control-plane disaggregation, network automation, and management abstraction have contributed significantly to this OLS advance. Optical Metro Networks in a 5GWorld BT: Andrew Lord, head of optical research This presentation will consider the likely impact of impending 5G services on the metro network, which will need much higher bandwidths, lower latency, power and space requirements, more dynamic agility, end-to-end SDN-based orchestration including 5G template management, and intensive machine- learning based monitoring capability. FTTH/B Market Panorama – Europe at September 2017 FTTH Council Europe The presentation will focus on the latest FTTH/B Market Panorama study, developed by IDATE Consulting for the FTTH Council Europe and unveiled at the FTTH Conference 2018 in Valencia. The Market Panorama gives a detailed status on the market for FTTH/B in Europe and globally. Open-access manufacturing routes for silicon photonics ePIXfab – European Silicon Photonics Alliance The silicon photonics manufacturing eco-system is going through a rapid transformation. A growing number of players offers open-access modalities to manufacturing, all the way from multi-project-wafer prototyping to manufacturing in volume, thereby opening product innovation routes for a
wide variety of end-users, from SMEs to multinationals.
and the opportunities associated with transitioning to an all 100G serial ecosystem. Datacentres: Photonic Integration for Next-Gen Optically Enabled Switching Luxtera: Greg Young, CEO Luxtera will outline the technologies and approaches required to optically enable next generation switches and also explain the reasons photonic integration is required. The state-of-the-art in photonic integration will be presented, along with our vision of the path to integrating optics with ethernet switches, including both technical and ecosystem challenges that need to be addressed. This presentation will look back at the historical deployments of FTTH networks showing the trends of how various protocols and architectures have migrated to meet the consumer demand. We will conclude the presentation with a look forward at how networks must evolve to ensure network capacity aligns with the residential, business, and wireless demand through the deployment of converged access platforms and new optical standards. Why optical technology is an enabler for 5G? Ericsson: Antonella Sanguineti, head of Product Line Transport Platforms 5G comes with fascinating applications and new revenue potential, enabled by radio technology evolution. To sustain new radio requirements, architectures, network densification needs, transport networks need to go through a paradigm shift. Scalability, flexibility, automation, reliability and low TCO are needed, particularly in the part of transport networks closer to access – fronthaul, and Backhaul aggregation. Is Optical supporting this journey towards sustainable networks? How? What are the major pain points that optical solutions are helping to solve? Multi-vendor multi-layer open packet- optical network architectures Juniper: Steven Alleston & Dirk van den Borne ‘Open’ is the new trend in optical networking, but what are the true benefits to the operator? There is the initial Capex benefit from breaking horizontal or vertical ‘silos’ and disaggregating proprietary solutions into independent network elements. We will discuss in this talk the relevant technologies for an ‘open’ packet and transport architecture, based on a software-centric approach, and show how these are common across both domains. Optical Components Market Highlights Ovum: Lisa Huff, senior analyst Ovum has been tracking the optical components market for more than 20 FTTX Network Evolution Corning: Mike Knott, market development manager – FTTH
Advances in 400 and 600 Gbitps DWDM line speed transmission technologies Cisco: Mauro Macchi, director, SP infrastructure Endless traffic increases mainly driven from video application is putting pressure on networking and transport infrastructure. We are entering then the 400G era both in routing and optical space. The presentation will address main traffic increase factors and pattern and then will provide a status of 400GE introduction into routing/data centre equipment. Intel: Robert Blum, director, strategic marketing & business development Continued growth of data centre traffic is driving the need for higher bandwidth Ethernet switch ASICs for top-of-tack and leaf-spine aggregation. The latest generation of 12.8 Tbps switches will be deployed in volume soon using 400GbE pluggable optical modules, but future generations will require the integration of photonics directly with switch silicon. Evolution towards 800Gbps datacom coherent interconnects Huawei: Dr. MaximKuschnerov senior R&Dmanager 400ZR is the first coherent pluggable interface for hyperscale datacom use case with 80-120km. Beyond 400Gbps, coherent optics is evolving towards rates of 800Gbps and 1.6Tbps also for reaches below 80km including LR (10km) applications. Optical Fronthaul/Backhaul for Mobile5G Source Photonics: Supriyo Dey, director product line management Optical fronthaul/backhaul for Mobile 5G is expected to usher a new exciting era for mobile applications, e.g. 3D video, Augmented reality, UHD screens, self- driving cars and smart city to name a few. Along with these come new requirements: up to 10Gbps data rate to support high quality video, ultra-reliable and low latency communication for autonomous vehicle and massive node communications for IoT. Integrated silicon photonics for future data centre applications Pushing the performance of 50Gbps NRZ polymer modulators Lightwave Logic: Michael Lebby, CEO The talk will discuss the new opportunities for polymer-based high-speed modulators that are expected to scale in cost and performance for data-rates of 50Gbps. It will also detail and show Mach-Zehnder polymer modulator results that will enable full standardised 400Gbps data centres, data communications and high- performance computing applications using a polymer photonics integrated Circuit P2IC technology platform.
