100 Gigabit direct detection gains wider backing
Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 7:10AM More vendors are coming to market with 100 Gigabit direct detection products for metro and private networks.
The emergence of a second de-facto 100 Gigabit standard, a complement to 100 Gigabit coherent, gained credence with 4x28 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) direct detect announcements from Finisar and Oclaro and likely backing from system vendor, ECI Telecom.
"We believe that in some cases operators will prefer to go with this technology instead of coherent"
Shai Stein, CTO, ECI Telecom
