SHOW PREVIEW OFC 2015
Optics under one roof
The Optical Fibre Communication Conference and Exhibition, OFC 2015, on 22 – 26 March is the largest global gathering of optical communication and networking professionals
More than 12 000 optical communications professionals from 65 countries around the world will converge on the Los Angeles convention centre from 22 to 26 March for OFC 2015. Some come to hear about the latest technical breakthroughs and market trends, others to do business with the hundreds of companies that exhibit at the event. The comprehensive technical
programme includes workshops, tutorials, short courses and paper presentations on the latest optical communications research and
Coriant (Booth 525) is a global supplier of soſtware- defined networking (SDN)
enabled edge-to-core solutions for optical transport networks. At OFC, Coriant will introduce the new 7100 Pico transport system platform, a compact and flexible packet optical transport solution optimised for service enablement at the edge of metro networks. Te platform extends the industry- proven capabilities of the 7100 product family used by leading Tier-1 carriers, delivers powerful packet-optical to the metro edge for service innovation and efficiencies, and supports easy upgrade of existing SONET/SDH rings to OTN rings. Applications include high-speed data centre connectivity, efficient and scalable mobile backhaul, and enhanced business and enterprise services transport. Te 7100 Pico’s compact 2-rack-unit (2RU)
design includes a distributed processing architecture that distributes system processing across interface modules, significantly reducing upfront costs and improving system reliability. Te 7100 Pico can function as a stand-alone network appliance or seamlessly interface with the latest service models in Coriant’s 7100 product range.

Ciena (Booth 1146) will showcase its recently announced capabilities that address the new web-scale dynamic which is significantly changing the evolution of today’s network architecture. Leveraging Ciena’s OPn architecture, these
capabilities include new WaveLogic 3 Extreme and
technology. Hot topics at this year’s event include cloud and data centre networking; terabit networks and beyond with a special focus on spatial division multiplexing (SDM); wavelength agile access networks; virtualisation and software defined networks (SDN); and silicon photonics and photonic integration for coherent communication. The exhibition, which runs from 24 to
26 March, will feature more than 500 companies showcasing their latest products and services. Here’s a preview of some of their highlights.
Nano chipsets that focus on addressing the needs and pain points of specific network applications, as well as Coherent Select, a new photonic architecture purpose-built for metro applications. Te new features simplify and reduce costs of metro and regional networks, while also extending the reach and capacity of submarine networks. At the show, Ciena experts will explain how these
new capabilities allow service providers, Internet content and cloud providers to deliver richer application experiences to their customers and connect massive amounts of users to content. Tese innovations embrace the web-scale IT philosophy, delivering increased bandwidth and improved economics through greater efficiency, network automation and agility.

Diamond (Booth 1428) has been a supplier of high- precision fibre-optic components for more than 30 years. With a reputation as a
dynamic and innovative company, Diamond is able to develop reliable, customised components and equipment, in response to increasingly demanding customer requirements. During OFC this year, Diamond will focus on its
rugged, reliable HE-2000 and MIL-38999 style four- channel connectors, which have superior optical
and mechanical performance for harsh environment applications. Tese are available for standard and small-core singlemode fibre (PC and APC), multimode fibre, polarisation-maintaining and other speciality fibre types. Both connectors are assembled with Diamond’s
Active Core Alignment (ACA) process for unparalleled core concentricity.

Whether for the long-haul core, metro, or emerging high-capacity metro cloud, Infinera (Booth 1859) Intelligent Transport Networks help carriers exploit the increasing demand for cloud-based services and datacentre connectivity in the terabit era. Infinera will demonstrate its metro-focused
products based on its photonic integrated circuit (PIC) including the Cloud Xpress (CX) and packet-switching module (PXM). Te CX is a rack-and-stack data centre platform designed for operators in the metro to specifically address the need for high bandwidth capacity between data centres. Infinera’s PXM is a packet-switching module upgrade to its existing flagship product, the DTN-X, and brings advanced packet features and quality-of-service (QoS) capabilities to networks. Infinera will also be demonstrating capabilities
of its Fast Shared Mesh Protection (FastSMP) and soſtware-defined networking (SDN) technologies while six different speakers will represent Infinera at the OFC technical conference and workshops.

At OFC this year,Krelltech (Booth 2247) will be promoting the Photonic Solution Center (PSC) website,
www.photonicsolutioncenter.com, a new photonics and fibre-optics search engine providing the industry with access to a global marketplace. At no cost, PSC is inviting companies to register,
upload a logo and company profile, list one product with description, four images, datasheet, video link, white paper, corporate website link, and an email form that goes directly to designated contact. Additional products can be added for a nominal
fee. A search function is available for browsing category/subcategory, name, keywords or company name. PSC maintains ongoing search-engine optimisation by product-level listing to ensure that your products are found.
