Description
High performance coherent optics are enabling Cable Operators to significantly reduce CAPEX while still allowing them to deliver high-capacity connectivity services. However, by placing the transponder function within host devices that have not traditionally participated in the optical layer, it does have OPEX implications and requires assessment and evaluation of currently implemented operational life-cycle management strategies (e.g. Plan -> Deploy -> Operate). The panel will discuss these implications and requirements of this critical advancement in Open Optical networking.
