Heavy Reading survey data suggests that the newest generation of 800G coherent optics will gain broad adoption over the next five years across the metro, long-haul and subsea network segments.
In this third segment of a four-part sponsored series, we look at more key results from a new Heavy Reading study about the cable industry's edge computing driving factors and implementation plans.
5G fronthaul mandates higher data bandwidth than 4G access networks, which invariably requires the use of additional fiber optic links to support these higher throughputs. In addition to more fiber links, existing fiber infrastructure must also be leveraged as a critical path to 5G. As such, aging fiber networks need to support a mix of optical technologies, such as PON and DWDM. Meanwhile, networks are becoming denser to accommodate increasing cellular traffic and provide the improved coverage that 5G demands. These are some of the factors contributing to the vast number of small cell deploym...
The increase in cloud routing services and applications is forcing network operators to re-evaluate their infrastructure decisions as they race to keep up with bandwidth demands. For core and peering use case deployments, it requires the high packet performance, flexible filters and inherent security that silicon-based platforms can achieve. But is your router actually performing at the level is claims to be? In this session you will hear from top industry execs and learn how benchmark tests were carried out on the industry's leading core and peering routers. Attendees will understand the limi...
