Optical Networking Workshop

Light Up Your Network: An Optical Networking Deep Dive

Ready to ride the next wave of network innovation? We're diving deep into the world of optical networking, the tech that's powering the future of connectivity.

What's in store:
  • Fiber Fundamentals: Get down to the bare essentials (literally) with a fiber optic overview. We'll cover types, properties, and why it's the backbone of modern networks.
  • Optical Use Cases: Explore the real-world applications of optical networking, from hyperscale data centers to the edge. See how it's revolutionizing industries and enabling new possibilities.
  • WDM Demystified: Understand the magic of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and how it maximizes fiber capacity. We'll break down the concepts and show you how it works.
  • Add/Drop Multiplexers: Learn how these essential components enable flexible and dynamic network configurations. See how they optimize bandwidth utilization and enable efficient network management.
  • Optics & Transponders: Get the lowdown on the hardware that makes it all happen. We'll cover the latest in optical transceivers and transponders, exploring their features and capabilities.

This workshop is perfect for network engineers, architects, and anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve. Join us and discover the power of light!
