Our analysis and thoughts on Nokia purchasing Infinera. Overall, the combination creates a company with an enviable balance among regions, deriving roughly a third of its sales from the US, a third from EMEA, and 25% from APAC, providing a buffer from regional geopolitical and economic instability. In place of two companies with regional market shares of 10-20%, the new Nokia should end up holding a third of the market in all major regions except Japan and China. The boost in market presence should give Nokia the scale it needs to maintain and grow its recent profitability, and to effectively compete with Ciena in North America and Huawei in the rest of the world. Optical transport might even become a market that begins to resemble that of routing, with fewer competitors, higher margins, and greater interoperability.

Do I care about Photonics ? Without getting into nerdy detail, the demand generate by new Datacentres, AI, and ever increasing growth of cloud computing, is putting pressure to provide a low latency , high speed network, and optical fiber is the key as we know it today. By harnessing the unique properties of light, photonics enables ultra-fast communication, high-capacity data transfer, and energy-efficient computing. NTT has been working on IOWN ( Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) initiative with Intel and Sony.  Learn more about IOWN and the future of photonics at https://www.rd.ntt/e/iown/. #photonics #IOWN #NTT #Intel #Sony #opticalfiber #cloudcomputing

Interesting view via @lightwaveonline, by Mattias Fridström especially regarding #IPoDWDM & Open Optical Networking. I'll post further thoughts in an article tomorrow

When all middle-mile network requirements and community use cases are considered, solutions based on modern coherent optical technologies make the short list. Learn how they support the full range of buying criteria from Kurt Raaflaub on the Infinera blog: #BroadbandNetworks #OpticalNetworking

I have just finished reading a fascinating report from IndustryWeek and Ericsson that delves into how manufacturing companies are embracing the power of private 5G cellular networks within their operations. The insights are truly eye-opening! The benefits of 5G are undeniable. Improved coverage, enhanced capabilities, higher speed, rock-solid reliability, and increased mobility are just the tip of the iceberg. Manufacturers are seizing these advantages to drive innovation and efficiency. If you're as intrigued as I am about the future of manufacturing and the role of private 5G networks, I highly recommend checking out the full report! #TeamEricsson #5G #DigitalTransformation Sebastian Elmgren | David Hart | Jan Diekmann | Per Treven | Sindhu Laljani | Viswanath Kolur | Kelly Dorsey | Alastair Glover | Margot Gyllerup | Dustin LaMascus | Rabin Kianifar | Paul Keane | Jimmy Mathai | Simon McPhillips | Elena Waldhuber | Caroline Caverly | Rob Balconi | Wes Montee | Eugene H.
