ECOC 2018 starts in Rome on Sunday. It looks like it will be a great show this year. I will be at the Workshops on Sunday and hosting a session. See lightreading.com/optical-ip/loo…?

For anyone who was not able to attend the workshop at ECOC in Rome last month, here is a summary: lightreading.com/optical-ip/400…?

This is the most competitive switch chip market we have seen for many years. See lightreading.com/components/com…?

Great webinar on the state of 5G!

In the run up to OFC we have just published a new report looking at the latest developments for optical networking in data centers and longer haul networks - The Rise of PAM4 and 64QAM: A Competitive Analysis of Optical Modules & Components heavyreading.com/details.asp?sk…

Some interesting performance results comparing ARM based ThunderX2 and Intel Skylake and Broadwell processors in HPC systems.

Qualcomm is sampling it's first 7nm 5G New Radio (NR) modem. The X55 will support mmWave and sub-6GHz spectrum bands and download speeds up to 7 Gbit/s. This second generation 5G NR modem should be in commercial devices by the end of the year. See bit.ly/2XgYqNh

Great move by Nvidia. They are both targeting HPC and data centers and have no overlap on products. There are significant opportunities for future AI and computing solutions based on Nvidia processors and Mellanox network interfaces. lightreading.com/cloud/nvidia-b…?

The volume of user traffic on carrier networks is growing at between 20% and 40% per year and if this trend continues as expected then optical transport networks could become overstretched. See lightreading.com/optical-ip/opt…?
