Coherent Optics Unleashed: 400ZR Success to 800ZR/LR Advancements and 1600ZR/ZR+ Kick-Off

Wednesday, 02 April, 16:00 – 17:00

Theater I

Session Description:

OIF’s 400G coherent specification (OIF-400ZR-02.0) has been a resounding success for interoperability and propelled broader market adoption of IP over DWDM network architectures. It’s time for an update on OIF’s next two generations of coherent specifications - (800ZR, 800LR, 1600ZR, and 1600ZR+). In this session, a panel of OIF experts will give an update on 800ZR and 800LR technical work and an early status on 1600ZR and 1600 ZR+, reviewing trade-offs in optical system performance, latency, power, and innovations. These projects will create the next core network architecture based on coherent pluggable technology standards in next-generation Cloud DCI and Telecom edge network interconnects.
