Bandwidth demands continue to rise and coherent optics are playing an increasingly important and expanding role in scaling networks and controlling costs. With two distinct, viable technology options to choose from, providers are faced with the dilemma of making the right choice for evolving their networks:
Do I select performance optics or coherent pluggables?
Does the application dictate the right solution?
What are the different factors to consider?
What are the cost savings associated with better performance?
Get answers to these questions, and more, in this educational session on architecture evolution that includes case studies performed on real customer networks.
