Technologies and ProductsADVA has successfully demonstrated interoperability between its next-generation FSP 3000 DCI open line system (OLS) and QSFP-DD 400ZR modules from Acacia Communications and Inphi Corporation. Conducted over a 120km amplified link, the tests show a clear path to commercial deployments of a complete solution with all the benefits of open, programmable networking. The trial featured […]
News and BusinessWindstream Wholesale has completed a live network trial that successfully deployed 400 Gbps single-wavelength transmission over 1,027 kilometres across Windstream’s long-haul network between Phoenix and Los Angeles. The trial set a real-world benchmark of 400G using Acacia Communications’ digital coherent optics technology. Windstream also set another industry record by looping back the signal to achieve […]
Technical FeaturesSimilar to consumer electronic devices, optical transceiver modules have followed a path towards size reduction with increased performance and functionality. Driven by data center and service provider applications requiring high-bandwidth, high-density, and low-power optical interconnects, coherent optics suppliers’ goal of meeting these requirements has led to compact, volume-manufacturable designs. These requirements have also helped drive […]
Technologies and ProductsAcacia Communications has announced it is sampling multiple variants in its family of 400G pluggable optical transceiver modules including 400ZR, OpenZR+, and Open ROADM MSA. Acacia’s 400G pluggable module family features an expansive list of interoperability solutions in QSFP-DD, OSFP and CFP2-DCO pluggable form factors for cloud data centre interconnects (DCIs) and service provider networks.
