BT is not afraid of commitment

Oct. 3, 2016
BT commits to G.fast, would telcos commit to a PON-based architecture targeted at cable MSOs (assuming they don't mind an active element in the field), how many transceiver vendors are committed to CFP2-DCO, and future commitments to data center network transmission rates -- all this and more in the Friday 5 video for the week ending September 30.

Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy wonders whether a PON-based architecture targeted at cable MSOs might appeal to telcos, how many transceiver vendors are targeting a CFP2-DCO, discusses the latest G.fast milestone, and considers the future of data center network transmission rates in the Friday 5 video for the week ending September 30.
