Pluggable Coherent Beyond the DCI Universe

Acacia — Fri, 12 May 2023 23:13:12 +0000

Network operators are now embracing the promise of coherent pluggables to enable new architectures including IP over DWDM that help reduce capex and opex. Newer coherent pluggable options such as Bi-Directional, 400ZR+ and high launch power solutions are expanding applications. In this webinar, representatives from several network operators explain the real-world applications for 100G, 200G and 400G coherent pluggable modules in their networks.

Topics include:

Network operator perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of deploying coherent pluggables
Key applications for new Bright high launch power (i.e., 0 dBm) pluggable optics
Use cases and architecture approaches for DCI, metro, and access application

IHS Webinar: Breaking the optical glass ceiling: The path to terabit optical networks

Acacia — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 22:50:58 +0000

Successive rounds of optical innovation and investment have delivered higher capacity networks with significantly decreased cost-per-bit transmitted. Moving forward, as we approach Shannon’s limit, gains are becoming more incremental, and cost-per-bit of added capacity is becoming more linear. As an industry, will we be able to break through the optical glass ceiling to get to terabit optical networks? Can we do so while continuing to improve the economics? What will be the role of advanced fiber (few-mode, multicore, and coupled core fibers)? Will space-division multiplexing (SDM) move out of research and into commercial applications? Watch this webinar to learn more about the different evolution vectors being explored on the path to terabit optical networks.
