II-VI Inc has announced that it is ramping up shipments of LAN-WDM optics to serve the rapid growth of the 100GBASE-LR4 and ER4 transceiver market. The IEEE 802.3ba standard, which defines 100GBASE- LR4/ER4 transceivers, is based on LAN-WDM, a technology implemented using four optical channels on 800 GHz frequency spacing, each KOC have introduced a new IP LC, with pulling eye fibre solution, that provides robust fibre connections using IP67 rated seals and is ideal for protecting fibre connections in harsh environments, especially to Mobile Communications (Base Stations). The IP LC, which creates a continuously secure dust and weather proof connection, KOC launches new IP connector MRV Communications has agreed a partnership with the Markley Group, operator of the largest data centres and mission-critical telecoms facilities in New England, USA, to provide its OptiDriver platform to create a connection from the Markley Group HQ, in Boston to its new facility in Lowell, Mass. The company’s Boston facility supports global communications and data connectivity through a diverse group of network providers, both domestic and international. The Markley Group’s new 350,000-square-foot location in Lowell, is a 50MW, mission-critical data centre and cloud computing facility aimed at assisting customers with disaster recovery (DR) initiatives. MRV’s award-winning OptiDriver product suite is a best-in-class, carrier- grade, optical transport platform that empowers IT and network managers to do more with less. Whether creating a more manageable
using a silicone ring seal to create a watertight connection, can operate using a variety of cable sizes and under a wide range of operational temperatures for outside plant, from -40°C to 70°C. ROHS and UL-940VO compliant, the product can be used in wind power

Viavi accelerates design and deployment of high-speed optical transport technology At ECOC 2016 Viavi will be showcasing its wide portfolio of products that accelerate design and deployment of high speed optical transport technology. Viavi’s ONT family, with its industry reference modules and applications, will be demonstrating the cutting edge in 400G Ethernet and CFP8 validation and test equipment. In addition, deployment of 100G QSFP28 technology. Deep applications for supporting Coherent CFP for pluggable 100G lineside will also be at Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a novel type of photodetector that needs far less space than conventional devices. The component has a base area of less than one millionth of a square millimeter without the data transmission rate being affected adversely. The newly developed photodetectors, the smallest photodetectors worldwide for optical data transmission, can be used for integrated optical circuits that significantly enhance the performance of optical communication systems. KIT develops ultracompact photodetector the full spectrum of 100G and OTN technology addressed by the ONT CFP2 will showcase the very latest applications to keep pace with the accelerating
