As pressure on telecommunications networks continue to grow, photonic integrated circuits (PIC) are becoming more advanced for optical communications to sustain the unprecedented rise in traffic, finds Abigail Williams
The three factors that determine spectral efficiency
For many fibre applications, spectral efficiency is a key performance criterion. This white paper focuses on why spectral efficiency matters, how the relationship between wavelength capacity-reach and spectral efficiency has changed, and the three key factors determining spectral efficiency.
Zayo Group has successfully completed what is believed to be the world’s longest known terrestrial 800G optical wavelength in a commercial network, at 1,044.51km.
Infinera has announced availability dates for its ICE-XR suite of intelligent coherent optical pluggable solutions.
Infinera has introduced the ICE6 Turbo, a coherent optical solution that can operate above 100GBd.
Keely Portway reviews some of the advances made in ROADM technology and looks ahead to what might come next
This white paper explores the component-level and systems-level innovations enabling ROADM evolution along seven vectors related to wavelength capacity-reach, fibre capacity, add/drop and degree flexibility, footprint, openness, operations and manageability, and network availability.
Telia Carrier has conducted a successful trial of Infinera’s ICE6 800G technology on its live global network, AS1299.
G8 Telecommunications has committed to increasing network capacity to meet the growing needs of enterprises, network operators, and government companies across Brazil.
