DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Karl Meyer\n\n1.6 Terabit Ethernet is the next major
  step in the Ethernet roadmap\, driven by the rapid scaling of AI workload
 s\, cloud infrastructure\, and bandwidth‑hungry services.\nIn this webin
 ar\, we explain why the industry is moving to 1.6TE\, what changes compare
 d to 400GE and 800GE\, and what it means in practice for network architect
 s\, designers\, and operators.\nWhat we’ll cover:\n\nRoadmap context: wh
 ere 1.6TE fits and what is driving the jump from 800GE\nCore building bloc
 ks: 224G SerDes plus MAC/PHY standardization status\nOptics ecosystem: plu
 ggable module evolution and practical interoperability considerations\nSys
 tems reality: modulation choices\, power/thermal constraints\, and breakou
 t options\nBeyond the data centre: coherent Ethernet for DCI and WAN trans
 port use cases\nDeployment view: timelines\, trade‑offs\, and design con
 siderations based on lessons learned from earlier generations (e.g.\, 800G
 E)\n\n \nYou’ll leave with a clear\, practical view of where 1.6TE fits
  today and how it is likely to shape AI‑era networks over the next few y
 ears—across data centre fabrics and the wider transport network.\n\nhttp
