Digital coherent optics in today’s 400G world

Infographic

The increase in long-haul interconnections is propelling the evolution of technologies like 5G and edge computing. Massive quantities of data are traveling across the planet forcing data centers and carriers to find more flexible and reliable solutions to transport it—and 5G is increasing the amount of data being shared.

Coherent light brings to the table smaller footprint transceivers that facilitate the transport of these massive data streams across high-bandwidth fiber optic interconnections that span over very long distances.

Key takeaways

Lower cost: pluggable coherent optics promise improved cost efficiencies

Reduced network complexity: simplified network architecture via a smaller footprint and pluggables with reduced power consumption

Multivendor interoperability: standard parameters for coherent optics are shared by all vendors

Longer reach: with a reach of up to 120 km, coherent optics are the most powerful high-speed transceivers in the industry
