Partner Webinar: AI is coming, is your optical network ready?

Research and Education networks have always been at the forefront of technology, often with some of the highest traffic demands and toughest performance requirements. Exactly how AI will impact these networks is still to be determined, but will likely add to the challenges of economically scaling bandwidth in NREN networks.

In this webinar, we will look at the progress being made in the optical networking industry that will help NRENs met the AI future, with the scale and flexibility needed to adapt for this uncertain future. We’ll look at the latest trends in optical line system and network automation innovation, open optical standardisation initiatives, and advances in high-speed 400G/800G intelligent coherent pluggables that are finally enabling widescale adoption of the IPoDWDM architecture. Join us to understand how optical networks are evolving to meet the scale and the operational needs of NRENs in the AI-enabled future.
