ECOC2022 Show Guide

Tuesday 20th September AM 09:30 - 10:00 FTTH Council Europe State of play of FTTH roll out in Europe Speaker: Vincent Garnier, Director General

14:00 - 14:30 Meta Inc.

Telecom Infra Project - Open Optical and Packet Transport (TIP OOPT) : MANTRA Introduction Speaker: Arturo Mayoral López de Lerma, Telecom Infra Project With increasing interest from MNOs/CSPs around converged IPoDWDM transport solutions, the MANTRA subgroup aims to define an end-to-end reference network architecture that is conducive to disaggregation. This also will align with the initiatives of MUST, a sister subgroup focused on accelerating the adoption of standard interfaces and data models for automating the management of complex Optical and IP networks. 14:40 - 15:10 Optomind Inc. PAM4 SR and AOC solution in HPC and data center Speaker: Yung Son, CTO and CMO, "Optomind’s advanced optical engine technology has enabled PAM4 112Gbps for QSFP112 and OSFP SR module and AOC using advance DSP as well as 56Gbps for QSFP56 and QSFP56-DD AOC using analog CDR to meet all the requirements including high performance, lowest power, and shortest latency. We achieved volume manufacturing with exceptionally high productivity and ultralow cost procurement. Our innovative design implemented a self-alignment between the optical device and optical fiber without any high precision vision assembly machine that enhances productivity and reduces huge manufacturing cost. Our PAM4 AOC is the best-in-class product, which is a key breakthrough in applications for higher performance computing (HPC) and advanced cloud data center including artificial intelligence and machine learning." 15:20 - 15:50 Shanghai Ensure Connectivity to You: The Importance of Quality and Reliability for Outside Plant Components, and the Role of Photonic Integration therein. Speaker: Erik Pennings, Business Development Director Our goal is to get high-speed premium connectivity to everyone, and this centres to a good degree on the last mile, independent of whether this is to the home, business, datacentre, or cell site. The last mile will be increasingly fiber-based as well as passive, and given that the outside (access) plant is where most of the cost is, it is critical that passive components used here are of the highest quality and ultra-reliable. In this presentation it will be shown how ENSURE realised this, via their commitment to vertical integration, investing in the best premium equipment, and deploying photonic integration. 16:00 - 16:30 Cognifiber Photonics based AI-service, which includes remote access to CogniFiber Aurora: a trainable classifier that operates at 100 million tasks/sec Speaker: Prof. Zeev Zalevsky We will describe the background, the need, the motivation and the IP, as well as the advantages of "pure-photonic computing" over other existing architectures and technologies

More than half of European households now have access to full fibre connectivity and we witness a surge in Public and Private investment in support of aggressive FTTH roll out plans. However a lot still has to be done to make sure our continent has the fibre infrastructure it requires to meet the challenges of a green and digital society. This review of FTTH roll out throughout Europe will be followed by a focus on the key challenges the industry will be facing in the years to come. 10:10 - 11:10 ECOC TV ECOC Exhibition Industry Awards Announcements Hear the winners as they are announced 11:20 - 11:50 EXFO Testing essentials for your MPO system Speaker: Alfonso Domesi, EMEA Business Development Manager Data center, 5G, broadband, and high-speed link deployments are driving the number of multifiber push-on connectors (MPOs) to optimize installation, opening the door to new issues. Get insights into best practices for technicians testing MPO links, including the inspection of MPO connector endfaces; how to mitigate the impact of damaged or dirty multifiber connectors, and streamlined Tier-1 certification of MPO links. In addition to current technologies, testing standards and solutions, the discussion will also cover proper methods of procedure to minimize operational costs and wasted time. 12:00 - 12:30 Ansys The Opportunities and Design Challenges of Co- packaged Optics Speaker: Dr. James Pond, Distinguished Engineer Silicon photonics is a proven technology for high-speed, low-cost, high- volume pluggable transceivers. However, as data speeds and power budgets become increasingly demanding, there is a market need for co- packaged optics. While initially driven by switching needs, co-packaged optics will enable many innovations, including disaggregated compute architectures. The design of these systems is immensely challenging and requires high performance electronic photonic design automation (EPDA) workflows, as well as solutions to complex multiphysics problems such as the thermal analysis of full 3D ICs with silicon photonic interposers. In this talk, I review the opportunities, challenges and design solutions of co-packaged optics. 12:40 - 13:10 Semtech Corporation Innovation in 5G Wireless IC Technology: Optical Front Haul Transport Speaker: Raza Khan Senior Market Manager-Wireless Products, Signal Integrity Products Group IC technology innovation will form an important aspect to enable the 5G applications of the future. We discuss how such innovations are being enabled by semiconductor companies for the eco-system to adopt a 5G foundation that will lay the ground for 5.5G and 6G.
