PANEL I: State of the Industry — Analyst Panel Tuesday, 22 March, 10:30 – 12:00

MODERATOR: Eve Griliches, Cisco Systems, US

This panel is one of the of the most highly attended panels at OFC, where industry and financial analysts give their interpretation of where the markets are going, what research they have been presenting and what to expect for the year to come. Top trends in all markets will be presented with a focus on specific calculate and reported market data points that are helpful to all.

SPEAKERS:Lisa Huff, Discerning Analytics, USRonald Kline, Ovum, USGeorge Notter, Jeffries & Company, USSterling Perrin, Heavy Reading, USAndrew Schmitt, Cignal AI, US

PANEL II: Intercontinental Networks — Technology Opportunities in the Submarine Interconnection of Data CentersTuesday, 22 March, 14:30 – 16:00

MODERATOR: Lisa Bickford, Google, US

PANEL DESCRIPTION:This panel begins with a very short primer on the undersea market. Large end-users such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook are increasingly using submarine facilities for intercontinental connection of their data center networks. This panel will point out the fiber exhaust problems today and will take a look at the need for technology upgrades to older SLTE infrastructure.

PANEL III: The Promising Market of 100G and Beyond Pluggable Devices — Talk with Experts Tuesday, 22 March, 12:30 – 14:00

MODERATOR: Shamim Akhtar, Apple, US

100G transceivers are used for three major types of connections: intra- and inter-datacenter, transport client, and metro/access — all of which have improved significantly lately.

Photonic integration has been plodding along, and has started to play an important role in reduction of power, footprint, and cost of the pluggable. There are many designs of

PANEL IV: The Global Colocation Market — Are Worlds Colliding? Wednesday, 23 March, 15:30 – 17:00

MODERATOR: Vinay Rathore, Infinera, USA

Colocation providers come in many flavors these days, those that focus on space and power and define themselves as ‘Carrier Neutral’, while others are beginning to offer more service provider-like services such as Cloud Exchange/Cloud Connect. Now that content providers are entering colocation sites in more and more metro locations, and CDN players are establishing themselves in the same sites, has the mix of the colocation site moved from the traditional ‘buyer’ — the Enterprise moving to the cloud — to a ‘sellers’ market of content/cloud/CDN providers within the entire connectivity site? This will be a combination of an educational panel as well as one that introduces new services like Cloud Exchange/Connect and what new optical technologies like ROADMs colocation providers will need in the next few years.

PANEL V: A Rational Assessment of 400G Ethernet Thursday, 24 March, 10:30 – 12:00

MODERATOR: Julie Eng, Finisar, US

This panel takes a close look at the current architecture, economics, applications and uncertainties surrounding 400G Ethernet. Work to define a 400 Gbit/s Ethernet standard is well under way and various 400GbE optical architectures are being debated. While solutions to make 400GbE work are on the horizon from a technical perspective, the declining costs of 100GbE present those in pursuit of this faster technology with a moving target for commercial success. This panel seeks to examine the possible technical approaches and realistic timelines for successful introduction of 400GbE in volume, or discuss niche applications that provide this nascent technology with a foothold for significant production.

SPEAKERS:Martin Carrol, Verizon, USChris Cole, Finisar, USScott Kipp, Brocade, US

PANEL VI: Sanity check — Where are we on 25GE and 50GE? Thursday, 24 March, 12:30 – 14:00

MODERATOR: Daryl Inniss, Ovum, USA

In July 2014, as a cost-cutting measure, Microsoft spearheaded the effort to push 25G and 50G devices for server connections within the data center. The first products are supposedly expected in early 2016. This panel will address topics such as realistic timeframe for commercial availability and deployment, copper vs optical connections and key use cases for both data rates and the impact in the marketplace.

PANEL I: Vertically Integrated WDM Platforms vs Open Line Systems Wednesday, 23 March, 11:00 – 12:30

Zeljko Bulut, Coriant, USA

PANEL DESCRIPTION:The measure of the competitiveness in optical transport has always been the cost per bit transported. The vertical integration strategy has been seen as the single path to deliver on that objective, but end users were not always getting the cost benefits anticipated, as the insourcing increasingly has led to technology fragmentation and numerous proprietary solutions that no longer profit from economies of scale. More and more requests for an open transport platform are coming from both traditional and alternative service providers. The purpose is to deliver fully interoperable network functions such as an open line system, programmable ROADMs, transponders and pluggables. This panel will discuss the pros and cons of each approach and seek to understand which of these two business and network implementation strategies will eventually prevail and why, or if they will coexist over a longer period of time.

System disaggregation has very recently (last 6-9 months) been introduced by a handful of major network operators as a very important innovation in next-generation Transport SDN architectures. This panel includes senior architects from service providers and network operators, who will debate the most important characteristics of such innovation, and its value in traditional telecom and cable networks, as well as in “cloud-centric” networks. The panel will also explore the interplay of system disaggregation, with the new transport technologies across layer1-3, and the SDN-motivated control plane evolution. The LSO Progress Report: Multi-Operator Carrier Ethernet Service Orchestration from Months to MinuteTuesday, 22 March, 16:00 – 17:00

ORGANIZER: MEF

MEF’s Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) vision was introduced in early 2015 with the promise to accelerate the implementation of agile and assured connectivity services and dramatically improve operational efficiency of the world’s most popular business services — Carrier Ethernet. Twelve months after the LSO concept introduction, this session provides a progress report on the numerous industry developments, involving many SDOs, fora and Open Source projects, under the leadership of MEF, to make the LSO vision a reality.

CEI-56G — Signal Integrity to the ForefrontTuesday, 22 March, 10:30 – 11:30

ORGANIZER: OIF

The OIF has developed a number of new 56Gb/s implementation agreements, delivering to industry a set of solutions that address a wide array of needs including different signal modulations and different reaches ranging from a few millimeters in a chip to chip implementation up to a meter in a backplane implementation. Throughout this development work signal integrity has been the driving factor, while also debating power consumption and implementation complexity. Also addressed have been developments for establishing test and measurement compliance methodology. This panel will address the different solutions and tradeoffs considered for NRZ and higher order modulation as well as for different reaches.

POF SymposiumThursday, 24 March, 10:00 – 13:00

ORGANIZER: POFTO

The Plastic Optical Fiber Trade Organization (POFTO) Symposium covers recent developments in POF technology, applications, technical standards, industry progress and new markets. Speakers from around the world will review opportunities for POF in areas such as Gigabit POF, 4K/8K ultra high definition television (UHDTV), home networking, IPTV, consumer devices, aerospace & automobile applications, POF sources & sensors, and high-temperature POF, among others.

Understanding Back ReflectanceWednesday, 23 March, 16:00 – 17:00

ORGANIZER: The Light Brigade

When trying to achieve a desired bit error rate, most designers focus on fiber optic attenuation and dispersion and don’t give as much thought to reflectance and optical return loss.

However, reflectance is a critical issue in regards to system signal quality. This session will review what reflectance is, how it affects system performance (bit error rate), and how to properly test for ORL and reflectance.

Understanding Optical Signal-to-Noise RatioThursday, 24 March, 13:00 – 14:00

ORGANIZER: The Light Brigade

While bit error rate determines the quality of a signal, it is the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) that demonstrates if a system will meet the established BER values, even for systems operating at speeds of 40 Gb/s and higher, and complex DWDM, ROADM, and coherent fiber optic communication systems. This session will explore what OSNR is, how it is tested, the how various ITU, IEC, and other standards apply when testing next generation fiber optic communication systems.
