A glance at the current market for fifth-generation coherent optics, and some of the latest developments available
A wide range of cloud and video applications, together with the increased access speeds enabled by 5G, DAA, and next-generation PON, are driving the need for ever more optical bandwidth. To deliver this bandwidth, optical vendors are developing a broad range of coherent optical transceivers addressing different segments of the market, each with its own set of design considerations.
International network service provider, RETN has updated its Eurasian network to accommodate a recent rapid increase in network traffic.
Full capacity? When it comes to 800G coherent, Keely Portway considers how to address capacity-reach
This white paper explains how an ultra-high baud rate, innovative features, and a high modem signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enable Infinera’s 800G generation Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE6) optical engine to maximize wavelength capacity-reach – the maximum wavelength data rate that can be achieved for a given reach requirement.
Pluggable modules, expanded wavelength ranges and new system architectures seek to meet bandwidth needs, finds Andy Extance
Advanced network communications provider, Windstream is to build a national converged optical network (NCON) in order to connect cities across its U.S. network to provide critical connectivity.
Latin America continues to be a prolific market with very real possibilities of expansion for FTTH deployment.

The unique challenges brought by the pandemic and modern technology are driving significant and varied changes worldwide in how cable television network operators use technology.
Broadband networks are undeniably at peak demand, with the current global crisis providing the industry with its own ‘new normal’, with consumer’s altered perception of ‘normal’ bandwidth levels.
Complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) technology has come a long way since its invention in 1963 by Frank Wanlass during his time employed at Fairchild semiconductor.
While there has long been a recognised need for fair and reliable connectivity for all, the current pandemic has accelerated the urgency at which this must take place.
