OFC/NFOEC reflections: Part 1
"We [operators] need to move faster"
Andrew Lord, BT
Monday, March 25, 2013 at 1:16PM Heavy Reading has surveyed over 100 operators worldwide about their packet optical transport plans. Sterling Perrin, senior analyst at Heavy Reading, talks about the findings.
Monday, October 1, 2012 at 2:44PM JDSU's CTO for communications and commercial optical products, Brandon Collings, discusses reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), 100 Gigabit, silicon photonics, and the status of JDSU's tunable SFP+.
"We have been continually monitoring to find ways to use the technology [silicon photonics] for telecom but we are not really seeing that happen”
Brandon Collings, JDSU
Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at 6:26AM Market research firm Dell'Oro Group has reported that the global optical transport equipment market in the first half of 2012 shrank 5 percent, to US $6.1 billion. In the latest 60-second interview, Gazettabyte spoke with Jimmy Yu, vice president of optical transport research at Dell’Oro Group.
"For the year, it is going to be a fivefold growth rate [for 100 Gig transport]."
Jimmy Yu, Dell'Oro
Friday, March 2, 2012 at 3:37PM In recent years the industry has moved from direct detection to coherent transmission and has alighted on a flexible ROADM architecture. The result is a new level in optical networking sophistication. OFC/NFOEC 2012 will showcase the progress in these and other areas of industry consensus as well as shining a spotlight on issues less clear.
Optical component players may be forgiven for the odd envious glance towards the semiconductor industry and its well-defined industry dynamics.
