Photonic packaging market to hit US$452.3bn by 2032

of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, is increasing quickly. Their data communication needs are increasing the required capacity of global communication networks. The transfer of data, logic, and applications to the cloud increases the need for latency reduction while allowing for increased network capacity by using photonics. The market study also found: • The global photonic packaging market is projected to grow 1.7X and reach US$ 452.3 billion by 2032.

According to a new report from analysts Fact.MR, the global photonic packaging market is estimated at US$ 452.3 billion in 2032 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast years of 2022- 2032. It says the market is poised to grow due to remarkable use case of photonics in several end- use digital applications. The Photonic Packaging Market study explains that with the rise of 2.5D and 3D package integration techniques and the emergence of the IoT, connectivity requirements are skyrocketing. The number

Fact.MR says technological

• The market witnessed 4.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2021. • Optical photonic packaging dominates the market with US$ 110.9 billion valuation in 2022. • APAC dominated the market with 68.2% market share in 2021. • Together, the Americas and EMEA are likely to represent 32.2% market share in 2022. • Based on region, demand for photonic packaging is expected to increase at CAGRs of 5.1% and 6.6%, respectively, in APAC and the Americas.

advancements such as passive Fibre-to- PIC alignment, more accurate flip-chip vertical integration, improved thermal-stack design, and others have created

a significant impact. Moreover, with ‘soft’

developments such as the adoption and publication of packaging standards and the consolidation and expansion of the component and material supply chain, there has been a dynamic shift in the overall photonic packaging landscape.

Verizon taps Juniper for core upgrade

Nokia, Telekom Serbia, send 600Gbps over 600km

needs of its residential and business customers. In the trial over MTEL- Telekom Serbia’s live traffic network, Nokia demonstrated 600Gbps line performance over a 600km path consisting in 6 spans, through C-F ROADM nodes. By operating over spectrally efficient 100GHz WDM channels, Telekom Serbia and MTEL will be able to maximise capacity, performance, and operational efficiency while lowering network TCO. CTO, Telekom Serbia, Djordje Marovic, CTO M-Tel Milan Aleksijevic said, “We are continuing to invest into the latest WDM technology to serve our customers with more demanding traffic growth, low latency requirements and agility for their traffic patterns.”

Nokia has successfully tested a 600Gbps line rate on Telekom Serbia and MTEL’s optical transport network over a distance of 600km between Banja Luka and Belgrade. The test utilised Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), powered by its PSE-Vs chipset, and laid the foundation for future growth to meet the needs of low latency, high- capacity traffic demands enabling the transport of 100GE and 400GE services. In addition to long range city to city connections,

Verizon is supercharging the core of its fibre network by upgrading older router equipment with new equipment from Juniper Networks, capable of utilising the latest 400 Gbps per port optical technology. When the overhaul of the fibre core network is complete, the operator will be able to manage 115 Tbps of data, the equivalent of almost 24 billion streaming songs, at any given moment. Verizon says this upgrade will significantly increase the bandwidth needed to support wireless, home internet, enterprise, small business and FIOS customers. In June of this year, Verizon announced that data traffic on its 5G Ultra Wideband network had already increased 249%, and it expects exponentially

higher increases as more customers adopt the new technology and begin to experience the robust capabilities and performance of 5G Ultra Wideband. The new optical core, which is being built to meet customers’ growing demands through 2032, is upgradeable to future 800 Gbps and 1 Tbps per port optical technology, allowing Verizon to manage 230 Tbps of data at any given time. Additionally, because this new equipment is so dense with such large capacity, Verizon will be able to redesign its network architecture to spread the equipment out to additional facilities across geographies, building in an additional level of redundancy with the ability to reroute traffic onto a greater number of fibre routes when needed.

Telekom Serbia will deploy the 1830 PSS

family equipment (PSS-16 and PSS-8x) in two new regional rings to provide next generation, highly scalable networks based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) for the
