Wednesday Afternoon Topic: Networking/systems/Service provider 13:00 – 13:15 Infinera Next-generation Transceivers Technology for the AI era Speaker: Dave Welch, Infinera As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, the demand for high-performance, efficient, and reliable optical networks has never been greater. This session explores the cutting-edge advancements in transceiver technology, pivotal for the new AI era. The session will delve into innovations that enhance data transmission rates, reduce power consumption and latency, addressing the stringent requirements of today and tomorrow’s AI applications. The session will focus on the role of advanced materials as well as the transceiver design and architecture to build a next-generation of transceivers for the AI era.
14:00 – 14:15 Fujitsu Networks Communications Inc. ILA Hut skipping for sustainability Speaker: Muhammad Sarwar, Fujitsu Networks Communications Inc. The talk will focus on novel amplification technology that enables skipping in-line amplifiers (ILAs) under different optical network conditions. By leveraging reference data, the presentation will demonstrate the potential power and cost savings achievable throughout the ILAs’ life cycle. 14:20 – 14:35 IPEC & China Telecom Evolution of Optical Interconnection in the Era of Intelligent Computing Networks Speaker: Junjie Li, IPEC & China Telecom AI-driven massive model training puts forward higher requirements on the ultra-large scale, ultra-low latency, ultra- large bandwidth, and ultra- high reliability of the new generation of intelligent computing data center networks, and the optical interconnection technology of data center clusters is also developing simultaneously. This presentation mainly introduces some new cutting-edge transceivers such as 800G/B800G CPO, LPO, LRO and networking technologies towards IDC and DCI applications, followed by thinking of any potential technology of optics for future infrastructure construction of China Telecom data centers. 14:40 – 14:55 Cisco The convergence of IP and optical network layers with coherent pluggable optics is transforming high-bandwidth network transport. Network operators are using this transformation to simplify operations with automation and streamlining network topology to better manage deployment lifecycles. These changes are unlocking dramatic savings as operators deliver more capacity from a smaller network footprint with reduced power consumption and operational complexity. Don’t believe the hype? Think you can’t interoperate with multiple vendor equipment? Wondering if you need a router at every site? This session will cover the myths and realities of this solution. IP over DWDM Mythbusters Speaker: Lorenzo Ghioni, Cisco 15:00 – 15:15 Ciena Transitioning PON to Coherent Technology for 100G and beyond Speaker: Edward Walter, Ciena The market growth of PON and current speeds suggest that 100Gbps is the next step for PON speeds. In the point-to-point market, coherent technology for data center and extended campus applications is experiencing increasing volumes and has an established ecosystem. These conditions enable cost-effective reuse in next-generation PON applications. Various standards activities are exploring the future requirements for PON systems beyond 50Gbps. A 100Gbps coherent solution is presented as the first prudent suggestion for PON evolution from traditional IM DD. Coherent PON deployment can coexist on existing ODNs while maintaining compatibility with legacy PON deployments.
13:20 – 13:35 Telecom Italia Path to carbon zero Speaker: Andrea Di Giglio, Telecom Italia
ICT footprint is huge and, without any dramatic intervention the situation will explode. However, ICT seems to be aware of this issue, and the biggest ICT companies are aiming to find a common path (the agreement is 50% saving by 2030, net zero goal by 2050). This path has been also recommended by ITU-T for Telco and ICT enterprise. This path should be in line with the P2 scenario of IPCC which foreseen a global reduction of GHG of about 90% by 2050, which aims to stay below the 1.5 degrees increase mentioned before. To contribute to this general scenario, the project IPCEI CIS (Cloud Infrastructure & Services), funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, has among its main goals, the implementation of solutions and technologies aimed to guarantee the Cloud Edge Continuum for new application services, optimizing the energy and resource efficiency. The main topic of the speech is to understand problems and provide solutions how to measure, predict and minimize the CO2 emissions for a cloud environment. 13:40 – 13:55 Huawei Technologies France S.A.S.U Fibre-to-The-Room (FTTR): New Opportunity after FTTH Speaker: Tony Zeng, Huawei Technologies France S.A.S.U Fibre-to-The-Room (FTTR) technology is emerging as the extensive application of fibre communication from FTTH. Fibre distribution to each room can be used for Wi-Fi back/fronthauling. The coordinating and integrating the fibre and Wi-Fi network becomes an essential technical innovation for in-premises applications. In this context, the industry has come together to develop the first generation of standards (G.994x series, including architecture, PHY, DLL, management & control interfaces) for FTTR in ITU-T SG15. Millions of deployments in global regions have been achieved since 2023. Besides, the innovations of in-premises fibre components are made in IEC/ETSI/ITU to facilitate quick fibre deployment and remote powering. This presentation will give a overview of this new growing trends of optical communications for in-premises.
