Monday, December 19, 2011 at 6:25PM Gazettabyte asked industry analysts, CEOs, executives and commentators to reflect on the last year and comment on developments they most anticipate for 2012. Here are the views of Verizon's Glenn Wellbrock, Professor Rod Tucker, Ciena's Joe Berthold, Opnext's Jon Anderson, NeoPhotonics' Tim Jenks and Vladimir Kozlov of LightCounting.
Glenn Wellbrock, Verizon's director of optical transport network architecture & design
The most significant accomplishment from an optical transport perspective for me was the introduction of 100 Gigabit into Verizon's domestic - US - network.
"The key technology enabler in 2012 will be the flexible grid optical switching that can support data rates beyond 100 Gigabit"
