40G/100G Network Technology and Implementation

Date: July 14, 2009
Overview:
A variety of technology options are available for 40G – and under development for 100G. In this webcast, Lightwave Editorial Director and Associate Publisher Stephen Hardy reviews both current options and those on the drawing board, with an eye toward matching technologies to application requirements.

 

40G/100G Market Trends

Originally Broadcast: June 18, 2009
Overview:
After years of being "just around the corner," 40-Gbps technology has finally made its way into carrier networks. Now, 100-Gbps speeds are just around the same corner. Based on conversations with leading market research firms and his own analysis, Lightwave Editorial Director/Associate Publisher Stephen Hardy will discuss the market prospects for 40- and 100-Gbps platforms across a ...

 

Test Strategies for 40G/100G Network Deployment

Originally Broadcast: April 23, 2009
Overview:
The potential deployment of 40- and 100-Gbps links carries significant challenges. These high-speed signals are more prone to chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. This increases the network measurement and monitoring burden for carriers, who must first determine if their links are robust enough to support such high-speed traffic, then monitor how well those links perform ...

 

Test Strategies for 40G/100G Technology Development

Originally Broadcast: January 30, 2009
Overview:
The move from 10 Gbps to 40 and 100 Gbps involves more than pushing bits through public and private networks more quickly. New standards and modulation formats, as well as greater susceptibility to chromatic and polarization mode dispersion, increase the complexity product designers must overcome as they develop the next generation of fiber-optic networking platforms, subsystems, and ...

 

Carrier Perspective on Next Generation Optical Access

Originally Broadcast: December 4, 2008
Overview:
This presentation comes from the leader in FTTH deployment in North America. O'Byrne will give the Verizon viewpoint on what's ahead for FTTH, including technology requirements and deployment strategies.

 

Next Generation PON Standards and Technology Update

Originally Broadcast: December 4, 2008
Overview:
What will the next generation of PON look like? Both the IEEE and ITU/FSAN group are working on new standards for 10-Gbit/sec speeds. Our speaker will provide an update on how these efforts are progressing, what the results might be, and when standards work should be completed. Plus, he'll comment on other advanced PON technologies, such as WDM-PON.

 

Speeding Deployments to MDUs with Plug and Play Architectures

Originally Broadcast: December 4, 2008
Overview:
In Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) environments, there is a tremendous incentive for building owners to choose an FTTP architecture if fiber network installers can be in and out of the building as quickly as the construction workers. Plug and play architectures speed the fiber installation process dramatically and this advantage is amplified when it comes to bringing fiber into new MDUs.

The MSO FTTH Market Opportunity

Originally Broadcast: December 4, 2008
Overview:
Cable-TV multiple systems operators (MSOs) are often cited as the next big market opportunity for FTTH technology. But how interested are they in migrating from their existing hybrid fiber/coax networks - and what factors might increase that interest? Our speaker, a consultant with extensive experience working with MSOs, delivers his viewpoints on how much appeal optical access technology ...

 

Roundtable: EPON vs. GPON vs. Active Ethernet - Is the Debate Still Relevant?

Originally Broadcast: December 1, 2008
Overview:
In their original incarnations, the differentiating aspects of EPON, GPON, and Active Ethernet were clear. But once EPON and GPON graduate to 10 Gbits/sec, will those differentiations blur? And will these new capabilities make PON more appealing to deployers who had previously preferred Active Ethernet. Representatives from suppliers steeped in each of these technology areas will come ...

 

40 Gb/s and Beyond

Originally Broadcast: August 27, 2008
Overview:
For 40 Gb/s applications, the client side and the line side use different modulation formats. This is a relatively new trend for fiber optic telecommunications. This webcast will address the separate needs of 40 Gb/s client side and line side by explaining different transmitters/receivers for different modulation formats. Additionally, the trend towards coherent systems for 40 Gb/s ...
