| | ADDRESSING THE DATA EXAFLOOD – 100G AND THE TERABIT NETWORK | | |
| |
Capacity demands grow apace, as the industry forges ahead to deliver Terabit Networking at economic price points in core, metro and data networks. Led by industry pioneers and innovators, the entire optical ecosystem has embraced 100G and a wealth of options are now available to service providers as they apply serious resource to building Terabit-scale networks. |
|
| |
100G is here and now – yet effective planning and deployment of 100G demands a careful understanding of strategic approaches, technology choices, and timescales for 400G line rate systems and the path towards 1T. |
