The submarine networking industry has experienced several technology changes in recent years, most importantly the adoption of coherent detection. This revolutionary technology changed how capacity was added to transoceanic corridors, extended the life of existing wet plant assets, opened existing wet plants to best-of-breed SLTE vendors, and completely changed legacy business models.
Following the technological revolution of coherent detection, the industry is undergoing yet another sea change in open cables. Open cables will have even greater impact than coherent detection, and the trans-Atlantic corridor already demonstrates initial evidence for this new trend.
Join Erik Kreifeldt, Senior Analyst with TeleGeography, and Brian Lavallée, Director of Solutions Marketing from Ciena, for an overview of the current network ‘seascape’ of the trans-Atlantic corridor, and what open cables will mean to tomorrow’s submarine networks. Discussion will answer:
- What are open cables?
- What’s driving adoption of open cables, and why are they important?
- How can open cables change how submarine bandwidth is consumed?
