EXFO

As service providers scale beyond 100 Gbps in metro networks, fueled by 5G, cloud computing, and AI, evolving demands are reshaping the metro network landscape.  This webinar explores shifting requirements and the technologies addressing them, with a focus on coherent optics and the transition from legacy OTN to Open Line Systems (OLS) using 400ZR/ZR+. We’ll discuss deploying and testing high-speed interfaces, troubleshooting common issues, and ensuring interoperability in a multi-vendor environment. Attendees will gain practical insights into validating and optimizing 400ZR/ZR+ links within OLS deployments. Join EXFO’s François Marcotte, P. Eng. and Harald Bock from Ekinops for a live webinar on March 25, hosted by Lightwave Online. Learn how #400ZR/ZR+, advanced testing strategies, and troubleshooting techniques support this transition, from deploying new links to maintaining legacy #OTN systems. Don’t miss key insights into evolving metro-centric requirements and the technologies emerging to meet those needs. 👉 Register now: https://lnkd.in/egxuc5K8 #CoherentOptics #OpticalTransportNetworks #metronetworks

Happy Pi Day! Did you know that pi is at the core of our understanding of optics? It's safe to say that, without pi, there would be no modern telecommunications systems and no EXFO. 😰 To help digest that fact and to fully underscore pi's importance, our Research team helped us to some comforting pie! 🥧 -- Joyeux Jour de Pi! Saviez-vous que pi est au coeur de notre compréhension de l'optique ? Il n'y a aucun doute que, sans pi, pas de systèmes de télécommunications modernes et, pis encore, pas d'EXFO. 😰 Pour nous aider à digérer cela et pour rendre à pi ses lettres de noblesses, l'équipe de recherche a servi quelques pointes de réconfortante tarte! 🥧 #PiDay #PieDay #3_1416 #March14 #JourDePi #GeekingOut #EulerIdentity #FastFourierTransform #OTDR
