Session Location：Product Focus at ECOC 2023, SEC Glasgow, Scotland

Organized by: The International Photonics & Electronics Committee (IPEC)

Session summary:

In the AI era, explosive traffic growth will push the throughput of the data center to new heights. The evolution path of 100T+ is under extensive exploration, and there may be various options identified.

At the same time, wireless development is inseparable from wireline support. The wireless industry is moving towards 5G+, with more antennas and frequency bands are used, the fronthaul interface also has been increased to 25 Gbit/s or even higher.

Oriented to the evolution of high-speed optical interfaces, IPEC is an open international standards organization focusing on the new technologies of optical chips, optical/electrical components, and optical modules.

At this session, IPEC will describe the evolution of 5G and DCI optical interface, and the progress of IPEC’s Technical Working Groups.
