Session Description
Optical modules and pluggable transceivers for the wide area network are evolving rapidly. Embedded coherent modules have moved into the terabit era and beyond. 800G coherent pluggables are breaking capacity-reach boundaries with advanced functionality like PCS. And 100G coherent pluggables with reduced power seek to transform enterprise service delivery. With so much change, what's the right technology today and tomorrow for enterprise connectivity, metro, long-haul, subsea, and data center interconnect networks? Does the network still need modules and pluggables, and if so, where does each fit and why?
