Technologies and ProductsProLabs has debuted its new QSFP28 100G ZR4 transceiver line at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo. Achieving 100G speeds up to 80km, the company says the QSFP28 100G ZR4 line offers an affordable and efficient solution for revolutionising service network backhaul and distribution. Beyond infrastructural support, the range of transceivers also enable complete interoperability with the full […]
Product FocusFor network operators offering 5G, cable, and enterprise services, Acacia recently announced it is sampling new coherent pluggable solutions specifically designed for optimization in edge and access applications. Offered in a QSFP-DD form factor widely used for client-optics, Acacia’s new 100G coherent point-to-point (P2P) edge and access solutions were designed to provide network operators the […]
Technologies and ProductsCommScope has launched three new solutions for operators looking to move to 10G, using Remote PHY (R-PHY) and MACPHY Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) technologies in both traditional segmented and fibre-deep architectures. The original series of E6000n Remote PHY Devices (RPDs), the E6000n RD1322 RPD released last year, and the new E6000n RD2322 RxD, leverage operators’ […]
Technologies and ProductsAcacia Communications is sampling a new 100G coherent DWDM pluggable solution designed to help service providers, carriers and cable operators meet growing bandwidth demands in edge and access networks. Offered in the QSFP-DD form factor, the module was designed to provide a scalable traffic aggregation solution, as well as an upgrade path to migrate from […]
News and BusinessAs part of its goal to drive multi-vendor interoperability of enhanced performance coherent pluggable modules, the OpenZR+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Group today announced that it has published the OpenZR+ Rev 1.0 specification and a supporting whitepaper. This specification, based on high-gain oFEC, is designed to enable 100G to 400G line rates, multiplexing and extended reaches […]
