There are several interesting trends emerging that will have profound effects across our industry in 2023. During the first part of this blog , I highlighted some of these trends including what is driving the increasing demand for multi-gigabit services, the growing importance of the network edge and how service providers are successfully transforming into experience providers.
In Part 2, I will discuss how in-place next-generation upgrades are becoming increasingly popular, how innovative technologies like environmentally hardened coherent optics are redefining the economics of optical transport, the importance of AI in enhancing the subscriber experience and why Open RAN (O-RAN) is gaining serious momentum.
DZS recently introduced a groundbreaking solution to address the evolving transport network requirements. The Saber-4400 leverages coherent optics in an entirely new way and redefines the economics of optical metro and edge transport. By enabling service providers to leverage coherent optics in a unique, compact, environmentally hardened platform and bring very high bandwidth, long reach circuits right to the extreme edge of the optical network, service providers can meet these new demands quickly and cost-effectively, while being well-positioned to easily scale for the future.
In addition to providing easily expandable bandwidth over long distances, by environmentally hardening these coherent optics solutions, service providers can also save from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in deployment costs by not having to upgrade existing cabinets and/or huts.
It will be interesting to see the impact all of these trends will have. Of course, some will have more than others, but I think it goes without saying that as superlative as 2022 turned out to be, 2023 will kick broadband acceleration into an even higher gear with new innovations, deployments and of course those unexpected boosters that seem to be cropping up in this fast-paced industry with more frequency than ever!
