The innovation teams from Etisalat and Huawei
UAE service provider, Etisalat has partnered with Huawei to trial compact all-optical cross-connect (OXC) for the transport industry.
Steve Harris looks ahead to the next 12 months and the impact that the latest technology may have on training for those on the front line
Network core flexibility will become just as important as capacity for future networks, and coherent solutions could be key to accommodating changing traffic flows, argues Eugene Park
In response to growing demand for more data capacity, the DE-CIX internet exchange is now offering 400GbE access technology.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has committed a £4.9 million grant to fund a national research facility to support UK researchers in creating communications networks for the future.
A group of researchers from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, alongside Huawei, have re-tooled an artificial intelligence technique to improve efficiency in optical transport networks (OTNs).
Ciena has revealed its latest range of WaveLogic technology products, which includes a single-wavelength 800G solution.
Researchers at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia have developed new fibre optic technology that can harness twisted light beams to more quickly carry and process data.
ADVA Optical Networking is developing a commercial device to support the Telecom Infra Project's (TIP) Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG) group.
CableLabs has published two new specifications to ‘dramatically increase’ capacity of the fibre access network with point-to-point coherent optics technology, allowing for 100Gb/s per wavelength.
Using amplitude, phase, and polarisation to enable much higher fibre capacities, coherent optics can help to improve streaming, video conferencing, file uploads and downloads and future usage needs for technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, and by gaining more capacity from existing fibres, the need to lay more can be eliminated.
