Inphi and NeoPhotonics have completed an interoperability demonstration of OIF 400ZR-compliant coherent transceivers, operating over 120km of fibre.
NeoPhotonics has completed experimental verification of the transmission of 400Gb/s data over data centre interconnect (DCI) ZR distances in a 75GHz spaced dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channel.
The data centre has created demand for an infrastructure that provides greater bandwidth and higher data rates, but how has this impacted the market for optical components?
Paving the way for next-generation systems at 400G and beyond, NeoPhotonics has announced a suite of products and technologies designed to support 400G optical transport across multiple network segments, including long haul, metro and data centre interconnect (DCI).
The plans for an economic recovery will undoubtedly need vast levels of public and private investment.
