Visitors to this year’s OFC Conference and Exhibition in San Diego were able to see, for the first time, a collection of optical module solutions for 5G wireless networks from Finisar.
Infinera has expanded its portfolio of metro packet-optical solutions with the Infinera 7100 PSX-3S platform.
The Intel® Silicon Photonics 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 Optical Transceiver product family is expanding!
ADVA has launched the ADVA FSP 150-GO102Pro Series, a cell gateway device that has been specifically engineered for installation in even the most challenging locations, to enable the easy deployment of small cells at street level.
Infinera has enhanced the open line system (OLS) capabilities of the Infinera Groove G30 Network disaggregation platform.
ATX’s next-generation optical node has been launched to enable multiple system operators to start capitalising on the capabilities of Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and digital technologies.
Intel has expanded its PON portfolio with the introduction of a high-speed, multimode 10G PON chipset, which was showcased at the Broadband World Forum event in Berlin.
The American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics) and Analog Photonics (AP) has released its AP SUNY Process Design Kit v2.5a (APSUNY_PDKv2.5a).
MACOM showcased its first complete chipset solution for 200G and 400G CWDM optical module providers servicing cloud data centre applications, at this year’s ECOC. It is designed to enable 200G modules at under 4.5W, and 400G modules at under 9W total power consumption, with a fully analogue architecture to ensure low latency and lower cost.
Coriant has introduced the Coriant Vibe X90 Programmable Packet Platform – the first in its Vibe series of carrier-class white boxes – designed to enable cost-efficient service aggregation from access to the core.
Described as a ‘key enabler’ of Coriant’s Hyperscale Carrier Architecture, the Vibe series will be able to provide the foundation for a disaggregated open networking solution or be added to a COTS white box-based disaggregated networking solution to enable/enhance specific network applications.
Work has started to hone an idea from Google Fiber to increase the reach and number of customers served per fibre of FTTH services. Andy Extance explains
Mike Jones looks at the 5G lottery and asks: 'Are you gambling with your fibre’s performance?'
The European Electronic Communications Code has been finalised and formally adopted. How will it aid European fibre deployment, and what factors could impact the end goal of copper switch-off? Keely Portway finds out
Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic right now, with the potential to help improve efficiency both across the network, and from a cost perspective.
