In data center environments, an increase in density can bring important benefits to operators. To support high-density data centers, new ultra-small form factor fiber connectors (USFF) such as SN and CS are gaining popularity amongst both datacom and telecom operators. Transceiver types with these connectors have been adopted by QSFP-DD, OSFP and SFP-DD Multi Source Agreement groups (MSAs) to increase bandwidth and at least double the density in order to address the need for ultra-high density optical interconnectivity demands of enterprise and hyperscale data centers. As a result, new fiber configurations are emerging to support new connector types such as Leaf and Spine. These connector types are emerging as the interconnect of choice. As industry standards continue to evolve, new duplex connector types are joining 400G breakout applications. And data centers are looking to adopt emerging trends to add flexibility in network cabling design and deliver on high-speed migration inside the data center. Key takeaways CS and SN history, standards and applications QSFP-DD/OSFP and SFP-DD transceiver overview fiber testing best practices protocol testing 2x100GE and 4x100GE breakout cables Listen to this webinar, jointly hosted by EXFO and Senko, and learn how next-generation data centers can both future-proof themselves against inevitable increases in demand and ensure network reliability.

5G telecommunication infrastructures around the globe rely heavily on photonic components, such as integrated photonics. These cutting-edge optical devices are present not only in the telecom landscape but are also considered for sensing, medical or quantum computing applications. The spectral characterization of such components calls for new cutting-edge testing capabilities, going up a gear in testing speed without any compromise on accuracy or resolution. In this presentation, I will showcase EXFO’s series of spectral testing solutions for active and passive optical components. I will focus on the CTP10 component testing platform, which is a fully integrated solution for spectral characterization. The latest modules available on the platform measure insertion loss and polarization dependent loss over an unprecedented wavelength range. Key takeaways: High speed measurement with high accuracy and repeatability Integrated, easy to setup IL PDL solution Full telecom wavelength range Automation examples

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, emerging markets are seeing tremendous growth and transformation, thanks to 5G's support for heterogeneous mobility networks with advanced distributed cloud services that combine wireless networks with an agile, virtualized and software-defined edge cloud. In turn, 5G's growth is driving the need for such approaches as edge computing architectures, which place compute, storage and connectivity close to the data sources, either near or at the access network edge. Unlike prior generations of wireless technology, 5G relies on strong, distributed cloud foundations of network and compute to power new market growth. Low latency, high bandwidth, trusted computing and storage rank are all core benefits of edge computing solutions. As a result, edge computing enabled with 5G can open up vast opportunities for application developers in manufacturing, gaming, automotive and other industries. Service providers can deploy edge computing to enable specific services, applications and use cases. For this reason, edge architectures must be redesigned to meet the stringent SLAs (Service Level Agreements) of emerging applications, detect problems early and prevent service outages. Indeed, the combination of 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) will foster new applications that need connectivity not just between people, but also between things. Edge computing, with its new reference design, will also tap into embedded machine learning systems and artificial intelligence back-end modules to empower network intelligence and boost service agility and deployment. Open source technologies and open white-box network elements will provide key software and hardware components for these reference designs. AI/ML can also play a significant role in improving network operations, especially at the network edge, and create new service opportunities. Key takeaways from this webinar will include: Edge computing with next-generation 5G technology. Edge computing use cases with 5G technology. Open source and standards for edge computing. Next-generation edge reference architectures. Edge deployment considerations. AI/ML-powered adaptive assurance for edge computing deployments.
