Light Reading Optical Networking Digital Symposium: Driving Coherent Pluggables Across Data Centers and Metro Networks
2025-02-13 11:00 - 12:30 | Virtual Event, Virtual Event
Optical networking innovation continues at a rapid pace as the industry moves into 2025. This symposium focuses on two important areas of innovation for the coming years, each at different levels of maturity.
Globally, operators are under tremendous pressure to boost revenues, a requirement that is becoming particularly urgent as operators invest heavily in networks and spectrum licenses for 5G. Transport networks have a vital role to play in differentiated services and new revenue opportunities supporting 5G mobility and the edge and underpinning advanced wireline services.
Coherent pluggables have come a long way since the first 400ZR modules were introduced in late 2019. The development of ZR+ modules and open specifications for longer reach, and more flexible applications, has added to the attraction of coherent pluggable modules for use in data center interconnect, metro and even long-haul networks.
As the second generation of coherent pluggables are being deployed in Networks, this session will explore the opportunities and challenges for service providers both today, and into the future.
This session will address:

Coherent pluggables today and the state of disaggregation.
Pushing coherent pluggable boundaries 800G ZR+ and Open ROADM
Interoperability, automation and the role of AI
The future of coherent pluggables including 1600ZR and 1600ZR+

Lightwave Webinar: AI Infrastructure at Scale
2025-12-09 11:00 - 12:00
As AI workloads grow exponentially, understanding how to architect the networking infrastructure at scale is critical for delivering performance, efficiency, and security. This webinar will explore the latest trends in AI infrastructure and their impact on optical interconnects, including:

Scale Up: Enhancing the capacity of individual systems by increasing compute power, memory, and storage within a single node to handle demanding AI training and inference tasks.
Scale Out: Expanding capacity horizontally by connecting multiple nodes into clusters, enabling distributed AI workloads and parallel processing.
Scale Across: Extending high-performance networking across multiple data center locations to support AI workloads.
