📣Mattias Fridström, Vice President of Arelion, recently shared his insights on top optical networking predictions for 2025 in the cover story of Lightwave Online's Winter 2024 edition. This article covers Shannon's Limit, optical standardization, managed optical fiber networks, and more. "Despite our industry’s recent challenges, one aspect has remained constant. Optical innovation is the skeleton key for unlocking new market opportunities and serving the massive capacity requirements of emerging applications, no matter which difficulties we face next." 👉Read the article here for more insights: https://bit.ly/4gL6RbT #telecom #techpredictions #opticalnetworking #400G #800G

The DCP-M line of open line systems by Smartoptics is a dynamic multiplexer series that can accommodate up to 40 separate traffic channels with speeds reaching 400G using a single fiber pair. DCP-M offers an unmatched level of user-friendly operation and can be set up as effortlessly as a passive multiplexer. There is no need for complex configurations or adjustments; simply connect the transceivers with fiber patch cords and you're ready to go! This innovative approach to DWDM networking eliminates the need for external outsourcing of interconnect services or dedicated optical teams, enabling companies to manage their DWDM networks internally. #smartoptics #networkingrevolution #DWDM'''

400Gbit of Errors? Here’s How We Catch Them Before They Happen! 🚀 Ever tried to follow a conversation in a noisy room? 🗣️ Your brain goes into overdrive, picking up fragments of words, using context, and filling in the gaps to understand what’s being said. It’s a brilliant form of real-time error correction. 💡 Now, think about an optical fiber carrying data at high speeds using the Coherent Optic ZR+ standard. Just like your brain, the QSFP built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) works hard to manage distortions, noise, and interference. It’s not just about Optical Power—key metrics like the Q Margin play a crucial role in determining how much signal degradation can be tolerated before errors occur. At i4 Networks, we’ve taken this a step further by integrating these not standard monitored critical parameters into our LibreNMS platform. We’ve set up real-time alarms to monitor Q Margins and more across our Nokia for service providers powered 400Gbit backbone links, ensuring that our network stays resilient even in challenging conditions. 🚨 🔗 So, next time you're decoding a conversation in a noisy room, remember: your brain’s process is not too different from how we keep our high-speed fiber networks running smoothly. Thanks Edwin Kalle for adding the crucial parameters to LibreNMS, Michael Scharn for providing the knowledge and Mark Vanderhaegen,Nokia for service providers for providing and supporting our stable advanced Optical and IP MPLS Network!

🚀 Understanding the Backbone of Modern Mobile Communications. Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a cornerstone of today’s telecommunications landscape, powering everything from DSL modems to 802.11 Wi-Fi systems. 📌 As we look to the future of mobile wireless systems, the significance of OFDM only grows. When combined with MIMO technology, OFDM is expected to vastly increase wireless transmission capacity, setting the stage for the next generation of connectivity. #communications #OFDM #MIMO #WirelessTechnology #Innovation #IEEECommunicationsMagazine
