With the countdown on for ECOC 2019, here are just some of the highlights to look out for.
The Optical Internetworking Forum’s (OIF) latest Technical and MA&E Committees Meeting in Montreal, Canada resulted in the launch of two new projects.
A new implementation agreement for low-power consumption will see small modules push technological barriers, finds Andy Extance
The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) took to the podium at this year’s NGON and DCI Europe conference in Nice to reveal the results of its 2018 Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Transport Application Programming Interface (T-API) multi-vendor interoperability demonstration.
FREMONT, CA – The OIF announced today the publication of the “Common Electrical (I/O) CEI 4.0” with a focus on Serdes standards for 56 Gbps. This is the first completion of Serdes standards for the CEI generation of 56 Gbps I/O devices and adds PAM-4 and Ensemble NRZ as additional advanced modulation schemes to NRZ.
FREMONT, CA -- Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) members recently approved important updates to the Micro Intradyne Coherent Receiver implementation agreement. The IA introduces three classes of receivers, distinguished by their RF frequency response, to support Flex Coherent DWDM transmission to 400G and beyond.
ECOC is the largest conference on optical communications in Europe, and one of the most prestigious and long-standing events in this field globally. ECOC 2019 will be held in Dublin, Ireland.
Ed Forrest looks at the impact of primary and secondary contamination on fibre optic connection surfaces
Fibre Systems speaks to a lead design engineer and a fibre planner to find out about the day-to-day challenges they face on the front line
Keely Portway looks at the latest developments in submarine networks, and the issues and trends shaping the market
There are many challenges to overcome to provide quick and efficient characterisation of photonic integrated circuits, finds Andy Extance
Keely Portway takes a look at the next generation of bend-improved fibres, and how they can be best used to future-proof networks
Ray O’Connor argues that wireless and fibre should be considered complementary, rather than in competition
Mattias Fridström and Parthiban Kandappan put software-driven, real-time optical layer performance awareness to the test
The right combination of training and tools will help to future-proof fibre reliability, says Jay Tourigny
Creating an invisible network is the next step in connectivity, so it is important to put quality, rather than speed at the heart of broadband experience, says Robin Mersh
