DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Karl Meyer\n\nResearch and Education networks have a
 lways been at the forefront of technology\, often with some of the highest
  traffic demands and toughest performance requirements. Exactly how AI wil
 l impact these networks is still to be determined\, but will likely add to
  the challenges of economically scaling bandwidth in NREN networks. In th
 is webinar\, we will look at the progress being made in the optical networ
 king 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 ne
 tworks are evolving to meet the scale and the operational needs of NRENs i
 n the AI-enabled future.\n\nhttps://events.geant.org/event/1978/
