With communication infrastructures getting smarter, Keely Portway asks, what are the advantages and the challenges of automation?
Angola Cables has upgraded its Monet submarine cable network using coherent optical technology to provide more capacity and lower latency.
Zayo Group has committed to providing increased optical network capacity and reach between Dublin, Ireland and Amsterdam, Netherlands in what the firm calls an ‘important step’ towards enabling 400G in the region.
Southern Cross Cable and Bulk Fiber Networks have selected coherent optical solutions to enhance their latest submarine cables.
Enabling on-board and co-packaged optics requires photonic integrated circuits and silicon photonics, but the exact format is yet to be established, finds Andy Extance
International network service provider, RETN has updated its Eurasian network to accommodate a recent rapid increase in network traffic.
German service provider, Telefónica Deutschland is preparing its network to adapt to escalating data traffic and bandwidth demands.
