  Webinar presented by Fibre Systems The rapid acceleration of AI workloads is reshaping how data centers are interconnected—expanding data center interconnect (DCI) use cases from campus and metro environments to regional, long-haul and subsea networks, and increasingly to scale-across AI clusters. This shift is driving new requirements across the optical layer, including higher speeds (400G, 800G, and beyond), increased fiber density, and stricter performance expectations. At the same time, optical innovation is advancing, with next-generation coherent technologies and emerging hollow core fiber and multicore fiber redefining how these demands can be met. As architectures become more distributed and complex, ensuring consistent performance across these environments is becoming a key challenge. This session explores: How DCI use cases are evolving across campus, metro, backbone and longhaul networks The impact of higher-speed optics and increasing fiber counts on network design and deployment The role of emerging optical technologies in shaping next-generation interconnects How to validate and qualify both existing and newly deployed fiber infrastructure for AI-driven demands The importance of automated, scalable test and validation approaches to accelerate deployment and improve operational efficiency Watch this webinar to gain practical insight into how to ensure performance, reliability, and readiness across increasingly complex DCI environments. Speakers:  Mitch Simcoe, IP Optical Solutions Marketing, Ribbon Communications  Kevin Boll, Technical Director, Nextrom   François Marcotte, Business Development Manager, EXFO
