Huawei OXC on OSN 9800 Platform

Feb. 20, 2019
Huawei has completed the research and product implementation of optical cross-connects (OXCs), including technologies for core algorithms, chips, boards, and systems. The OXC can help customers with easy-to-use optical switching for mesh networks. The three key technologies of the OXC are an all-optical backplane, a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) switching engine, and digital optical OAM.
