Returning for its sixteenth year, the 2021 Market Focus will cover an even broader selection of informative and on-trend optical communications topics from a number of leading industry professionals. Top network equipment manufacturers, senior executives, key analysts and the principal FTTH industry body are among those confirmed to deliver thought provoking seminars and inspire discussion.
2021 Timetable Following on from our retrun to the Market Fcous theatre in September, the Virtual Catch Up allows you to revisit some of the excellent sessions.
Monday 1st November PIC and SiPh/Datacenters/Optics in Cloud computing The opening Market Focus session from Vladimir Kozlov of LightCounting and takes a look at the significant impact Silicon Photonics (SiP) is making on the market. Following this we hear from Intel and Lightwave Logic's CEOMichael Lebby, as he reviews the latest work in photonics roadmaps on both the integrated photonics (PIC) level as well as PIC packaging level. MarkWade fromAyar Labs joins us to share the impact of chip-to-chip connectivity on next- generation computing systems for AI/HPC, telecommunications and intelligent edge follwed by a presentation fromMarco Vitali fromSicoya looking at optics is cloud computing. During the afternoonwewelcome Frank Chang fromSource Photonics as he looks at next gen 800G, follwed by Andreas Bechtolsheim from Arista will discuss how the transition to 800G and 1600Gdata center optics will enable cloud networks to evolve in themost cost effective, power efficient and compatible fashion. The first day finishes off with a discussion on the advanced building blocks for DSP, Silicon Photonics, TIA and Drivers to enable the 800GbE/1.6TbE for inter and intra data center applications fromMarket Focus sponsors Marvell, and the day closes with an overview of 400ZR and discuss its deployment status fromOIF.
Tuesday 2nd November Optical Transmision (SDN/ Network Agility)/Fibre Access (5G/cable/PON/FTTX) Day two we welcome Junwei Li from China Mobile who will discuss the readiness of 50G-PON in terms of technology, standard and ecosystem, follwed by Tracey Vanik from EPIC as she examines the important role photonics plays in industrial applications including 5G Private Networks, real-time imaging & equipment control, synchronization, high-speed connectivity, and even security for connected IIoT devices. Ericsson poses the question 'Can optical keep up with evolving RAN requirements' followed by a presentation fro QXP Technologies. During the afternoon we hear from Cisco and LightCounting Market Research, and the second day of sessions closes with Raj Nagarajan from Lumentum who will discus the novel methods by which cost can be reduced to enable ROADM at the Edge and will propose potential WSS solutions for these applications. Corning's Rohsene McCool joins us for the closing session with a look at the options available to increase capacity and deliver more pathways, and explore the fiber innovations that will support multi-service networks of the future.
Wednesday 3rd November New technologies & systems/New markets/New Packaging platforms The final day of the event openswith Sanjai Parthasarathi from II-VI with a look at the status and evolution of the 'NewSpace' emerging market segment within optical communications, reviewing trends and sizing opportunities. Intel's Robert Blumwill then discuss progress and challenges in using silicon photonics for coherent FMCWLiDAR applications, followed by sessions from Infinera and focus on how point-to-multipoint coherent optical pluggables enable service providers to push coherent to the accesswhile leveraging existing infrastructure (e.g., PON) and deliver higher capacity. TomWilliams fromAcacia (nowpart of Cisco) will analyze howcurrent trends in coherent interface standardisation are expected to influence next generation networks and investment in coherent technology, followed by a look at a new specification formulti-wavelength optical later sources for advanced integrated optics. The afternoon continueswith sessions from BradBooth fromConsortium forOn-Board Optics, and Jeff Hutchins fromOIF and the final day closeswith a focus on 400Gand above rollout and the promise of co-packages optics fromLisaHuff of Omida.We are then joined by Mark Lutkowitz fromFibeRealitywith a review of the latest information onwhy pluggableswill continue to be viable at least until the arrival of 200T switchASICs.
