Improving Capacity, Reach and Economics with Coherent Transport
Leave a CommentToday, coherent transport technology enables speeds of 40 and 100 Gb/s over legacy fiber networks. However, emerging fundamental limitations in spectral efficiency and un-regenerated reach will soon begin to strain the economics of the internet. Backbone traffic is currently growing at a 30-50 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), but consumers are reluctant to pay […]
How to Speak “Fiber Geek” Article 1 – Bandwidth Drivers and Standards
Leave a CommentOver the past 30 years, optical fiber and fiber optic cable have become increasingly durable and user friendly. At the same time, the use of fiber optics has exploded with many more workers now handling both fiber and cable. However, while these individuals may understand the How-Tos of optical fiber, they may lack knowledge of […]
OFS LaserWave® FLEX WideBand Multimode Fiber Next-Generation Multimode Technology
Leave a CommentData centers and enterprise networks continue to require ever-increasing speeds. Yesterday’s 10 Gbps networks are rapidly being replaced by 40 and 100 Gbps speeds, and 400 Gbps networks are on the horizon. How can today’s network designers best support this increasing demand for bandwidth? TIA has standardized a new multimode fiber to support short wavelength […]
