Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 8:40AM The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) has achieved its first milestone in defining the carrier requirements for software-defined networking (SDN).
"The orchestration layer will coordinate the data centre and transport network activities and give ... easy access to new applications"
Hans-Martin Foisel, OIF
Thursday, August 15, 2013 at 7:01PM Briefing: Silicon Photonics
Part 2: A system vendor's perspective
An interview with Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs' Martin Zirngibl, domain leader for enabling physical technologies, on the merits and potential impact of silicon photonics
Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 10:48AM The Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular standard has a demanding set of mobile backhaul requirements. Gazettabyte looks at two different chip designs for LTE mobile backhaul, from PMC-Sierra and from Broadcom.
"Each [LTE Advanced cell] sector will be over 1 Gig and there will be a need to migrate the backhaul to 10 Gig"
Liviu Pinchas, PMC-Sierra
Thursday, August 8, 2013 at 1:40PM Ciena, working with partners, is building a network to enable the development of software-defined networking (SDN) applied to the wide area network (WAN). The motivation in creating the testbed network is to boost carrier confidence in SDN while aiding its development.
"When you get very serious vice presidents in tier-one carriers saying, 'This [SDN] is the biggest change in my career', there is something to it."
Chris Janz, Ciena
