Infinera XR optics

Feb. 20, 2020
By supporting point-to-mulitpoint coherent transmission, XR optics paves the way for disruptive network economics as 5G, fiber deep, and hyperscale cloud connectivity impose new challenges.
Infinera describes XR optics as a revolutionary technology purpose-built to break the inherent limitations of traditional point-to-point optical transmission solutions. By supporting point-to-multipoint coherent transmission, XR optics paves the way for disruptive network economics as 5G, fiber deep, and hyperscale cloud connectivity impose new challenges on operators.

Judge’s comment: “Coherent optics will become more widespread and bring interesting capabilities such as this to the table. This is an interesting use of the capabilities and relevant with the move to widely distributed capacity requirements for upcoming 5G.”
