Over the past seven years the optical transport industry has made huge strides in increasing the capacity of a single fiber using the C-band. The combination of higher order modulation, flex grid channel spacing, higher symbol rates and super channels has increased the spectral efficiency to deliver 32 Tbit/s per single fiber using the standard […]
Enable New Revenues with Cloud Gaming
The distribution of video games currently still depends on physical and downloadable models however, the gaming industry is set to follow the evolution of the music and movie industries and move to an unlimited streaming model. This development is still in its early stages and, enabled by technologies such as 5G, will create new revenue […]
Optical Networks for the Next Decade
The volume of user traffic on carrier networks is growing at between 20% and 40% per year and if this trend continues as expected then optical transport networks will become overstretched without a significant increase in capacity beyond that currently planned by operators. The solution to this problem is likely to include a mix of […]
OFC – The Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition
San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA Simon Stanley will be at OFC 2019, the largest global conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals. Simon is Principal Consultant, Earlswood Marketing, and Analyst at Large, Heavy Reading. For over 40 years, OFC has drawn attendees from all corners of the globe to meet and greet, teach and learn, […]
The Rise of PAM4 and 64QAM: A Competitive Analysis of Optical Modules & Components
The shift to cloud services and virtualized networks has put the data center in the middle of our world and meant that connectivity within data centers and between data centers has a huge impact on the delivery of business and personal services. Hyperscale data centers are being installed across the world and these all need […]
New Open Workgroup to Accelerate Edge Computing
Edge computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and security are all applications that are important for cloud and networking service providers and can benefit from domain-specific accelerators. Domain-specific accelerators are silicon-on-chip (SoC) devices that are optimized to deliver cost-effective acceleration of specific applications and networking functions. The Open Domain-Specific Accelerator (ODSA) Workgroup is an industry initiative […]
Domain-Specific Accelerators: What They Are & Why They Should Matter to Cloud & Network Providers
The bandwidth demands on server processors have significantly outgrown the increases in central processing unit (CPU) performance over the past few years. This is already having an impact on cloud and network service providers, which are installing a growing number of servers and data centers to meet the demand from customers. Virtualization is key to […]
Open Domain-Specific Accelerators: What Are They & Why Should They Matter to Cloud & Network Providers?
The end of Moore’s Law will increase the use of domain-specific accelerators to meet power-performance requirements in cloud infrastructure, network infrastructure and IoT/wireless edge applications. However, the high cost and complexity of accelerator development is a major factor restraining growth. To meet current and future growth demands, network providers need a more efficient and open […]
Serial 100G – A Forerunner to the Networks of Tomorrow
Today’s optical module providers are under tremendous pressure to enable hyperscale data center customers with faster connectivity solutions at volume scale. 100 Gigabit Ethernet will continue to be a cornerstone as the industry drives to lower the cost and increase the density of these connections. The seemingly unending lifespan for 100 Gbps links is only […]
Transatlantic Optical Transmission With 16QAM
Subsea transmission capacity is growing at a dramatic rate – with analyst firm Telegeography forecasting a compound growth rate of 46% between 2017 and 2024. Much of this demand is driven by Internet content providers (ICPs). On Transatlantic routes, for example, ICP demand exceeded Internet bandwidth for the first time in 2014, and in 2017, […]
