The trends driving optical transceiver technology
Yole Développement is proud to collaborate with the China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) to organize the highly attractive Forum on Optical Transceivers and Silicon Photonics. It will take place in Shenzhen, alongside the 23rd CIOE. Due to COVID-19 preventives measures in China, the CIOE will be postponed and with it the Optical Transceivers & Silicon Photonics Forum, meaning it will finally take place on 17th of September.
This event will explore recent trends in optical module technology and applications for datacom and telecom.
Network traffic is forecast to grow exponentially in coming years. This trend affects all segments of network infrastructure in datacenters as well as in long-haul applications.
The growth has been driven by newly emerging digital applications. These include the Internet of Things (IoT), including Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), connected homes and cars and services such as streaming Ultra High Definition videos that need higher data throughput.
The evolution of these technologies has enabled transmission speed of 400G and beyond in long haul and metro networks. As 400G has ramped-up to mass deployment the question is: What will come beyond 400G?
The general goal for future form factors is to reduce their size and thus decrease power consumption and increase density. Trends in players’ strategies, future technologies, roadmaps and market forecasts in optical transceivers industry will be presented at this event.
