Jim Zou explains how to make the optical edge more sustainable and efficient at Fiber Vakdag

Presentation will focus on how operators can harness coherent ZR optics for a high-performance and low-power optical edge

  • Speakers: Jim Zou, senior manager, global business development, Adtran
  • Topics: Greening and reinventing the optical edge
  • When: Wednesday, October 11, 1:30 p.m. CET
  • Where: Fiber Vakdag 2023, The Jaarbeurs Event and Exhibition Center, Utrecht, Netherlands

The optical edge serves as a critical junction between core networks and lower-speed access networks, and its implementation directly impacts user experience and network performance. Given skyrocketing data demands and the need to ensure quality of experience, we need to reinvent the optical edge to maximize performance and efficiency. However, making this transition as sustainable as possible is a challenging task.

In this session, Jim Zou will explain how Adtran’s vendor-neutral, purpose-built OLS innovation includes power-optimized wavelength broadcasting technology specifically designed for the optical edge. He will also discuss how Adtran’s low-power coherent pluggable 100ZR and 400ZR transceivers render the optical edge more efficient and sustainable.
