An upgraded optical DSP would extend the reach and capacity of data center and telecom carrier networks, allowing service providers to scale for large AI and other data-intensive workloads.
What’s at stake:
Cloud and telecommunications networks are groaning under the weight of ever larger data sets. Expanding optical networks are evolving to provide greater bandwidth and faster interconnects needed to move data from one facility to another. Optical chip makers and their networking equipment partners are leveraging emerging interoperability standards to help service providers super-charge their networks while avoiding vendor lock-in.
Cloud data center operators and stodgier but essential telecommunications carriers are beginning to see the light as they evolve their optical network architectures to address ever-growing bandwidth demands while extending the reach of those networks.
