Arelion has deployed Cisco 400G QSFP-DD Bright Optical Modules in its production IP backbone, initially on a 675 km route between Stockholm and Copenhagen. Mattias Fridström, Chief Evangelist from Arelion, discusses how these 400G pluggable operate over third-party Optical Open Line System (O-OLS). Some highlights of the video:
- These optics can be directly installed into a router, eliminating the need for an optical transponder and enabling you to shoot traffic over longer distances.
- The main business cases for this technology: connecting points of presence (POPs) that are further away, and shooting traffic between core routers in the internet backbone, thereby saving time and money.
- The concept of alien wavelengths is discussed, including how this technology can work with any vendor, offering a more efficient way of running your network.
