On the ECOC show floor, 100Gbit/s, 400Gbit/s and 800Gbit/s signals generated by coherent pluggable optics will be transported over open line systems (OLS) in a disaggregated IPoDWDM environment. This includes a 300km Adtran FSP 3000 OLS multi-span link and Adtran 100ZR+ and 400ZRE coherent pluggable transceivers operating in third-party hosts and over both Adtran and third-party OLS. The live setup demonstrates how operators can scale capacity with simple turn-up and integrated visibility while preserving vendor choice. Together, these activities underscore Adtran’s commitment to openness at both the system and module levels.\n\nThis press release features multimedia.

This approach enables providers to expand capacity for cloud and AI workloads, reduce day-to-day complexity, improve energy efficiency and avoid vendor lock‑in while choosing the right technology for each role in the network.”\n\n\nThe ECOC showcase combines live demos and lab validation to show maturity in open optical networking. The FSP 3000 OLS delivers 100Gbit/s and 400Gbit/s services w...
