High-speed transport testing: uses cases for labs and manufacturing

This webinar is the third and last installment of a series around photonics and coherent transport and its challenges involved in manufacturing, design and research when developing and producing next-generation transport technologies.

Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and optical R&D labs are facing growing challenges relating to global network transformations including 5G mobility, high-speed broadband, data centers and edge networking. In this fast-paced and complex environment, NEMs and labs need scalable, agile testing solutions that meet evolving R&D and production requirements. To ensure high quality and cost-effectiveness, test & measurement solutions must leverage automation and advanced technology while ensuring that testing is done from end to end.

In this webinar, we'll explore the best practices in labs and manufacturing by sharing use cases with major industry players. End-to-end solutions will be considered for various applications from R&D and manufacturing to the field (including component and system requirements). Lastly, we will provide a glimpse of upcoming trends as seen at OFC 2022.

Key takeaways:

• Key trends around next-gen optics including coherent optics in high-speed networks
• 400G use cases, test scenarios and best practices
• Automation integration in end-to-end testing solutions
