Tuesday 24 th September – Afternoon Service and content provider optical transmission Finisar What does the cross-over from pluggable modules to co- packaged optics mean for industry? Speaker: Martin Zirngibl, Corporate CTO Time: 13:50 The current business model for network providers, buy the switch hardware on day one and then add the optical ports in a pay-as-you- grow scenario, cannot be scaled to next generation switches with above 50Tb/s I/O capacity. Co-packaging the optics and the switch will fundamentally alter the current optical industry’s eco system since the majority of the day one cost is now in the optics. We will discuss the technology options for co-packaging and the changes they will likely cause in the switch/optical hardware business.
Viavi Solutions Beyond 400G – the challenge of testing the link, transmission and services Speaker: Dr Paul Brooks Time: 15:35 As 400G begins to move from the H/W lab into early trials and deployment eyes turn towards ‘beyond 400G’. Test and measurement vendors represent the leading edge of any technology cycle and often push the boundaries of what is possible with emerging technology to help develop components and feasibility. This presentation explores some of the potential challenges we will face at ‘beyond’ 400G including MAC rates having to process 100’s millions of packets a second, electrical lanes running at 100Gb/s and complex logic elements like FEC blocks mandated to deliver error free communication. This is further complicated by the emergence of pluggable coherent optics which will play a significant role at beyond 400G. Test and measurement has to address all these challenges before anything can be deployed. Huawei Technologies Maximizing Network Operations Efficiency with Optical Intelligence Speaker: Dr. Christopher Janz, Technical Vice President Time: 16:10 Intelligence, synthesized in software, is the key to improved optical network operational outcomes and to process automation. Access to new revenue services, like enterprise premium private lines, and containment of operations complexity depend on intelligence. We will review how new optical sensor capabilities, big data, AI and algorithms are being used to improve optical service commissioning and resource planning.
IHS Markit Market Segmentation and Business Analysis of 400G+
Coherent Transceivers from DCI to Subsea Speaker: Timothy Munks, Principal Analyst Time: 14:25
In this presentation, I compare and contrast of the relative strengths and weaknesses of 400G ZR with 400G ZR+ and with embedded 400G+ coherent transceivers. I then look at the requirements for and the market sizes of the optical transport applications ranging from DCI, metro-regional, long haul and subsea, with insights into where, why and how many of the 400G/600G/800G transceiver are likely to be deployed and utilized over the next five years. OIF (Optical Internetworking Forum) Deployment of the 400ZR Ecosystem Speaker: Karl Gass, Physical and Link Layer Optical Working Group Vice Chair Time: 15:00 OIF, an enabling, independent industry forum, has provided multiple projects necessary to deliver the 400ZR standard to market. The bandwidth density benefits of coherent optics are well known and appreciated in the industry but until today interoperability has been a missing feature that limits broader adoption of coherent technology in cloud, transport, access and 5G markets. Gain insight into the key technical challenges network operators, system vendors, module integrators, and test equipment vendors face as the initial 400ZR deployments balance low-cost with delivering an optimal standard.
