The demands for AI scale across and DCI network connections require coherent technology with ever higher symbol rates, enabling higher data rates over longer distances. The introduction of 130-140GBd coherent solutions enabled the widespread deployment of 800G connections and links over 1,000km. The first 1.6T coherent systems are now being deployed with 200GBd symbol rates.
New 200GBd+ DSPs are being introduced to support 1.6T coherent pluggables and longer distance 1.6T, and higher bandwidth, coherent connections.
This session explores the latest developments for 200GBd+ coherent connections across AI data centers and carrier networks.
Topics Include:
- Metro, long haul, and subsea networks in the 200GBd+ AI era
- DSP and optical developments for 200GBd+ systems
- Deploying pluggable coherent modules in long haul networks
- Where next for coherent optical networking in metro, long-haul and subsea networks
