History has shown that adoption of optical transceiver/transponder solutions accelerates when implementable standardization and interoperability are established. Coherent optical technology, […]
Standardisation activities have defined a variety of interoperability modes supporting operation ranging from 100G to 400G. Here, five experts review the benefits of combining elements from 400ZR and OpenROADM, two existing standards, to define and deliver OpenZR+; an open, flexible and interoperable coherent solution in a small form factor pluggable module.
