Coherent Corp., Juniper Networks and Marvell Deliver Public Demonstration of Industry-First Comprehensive 800ZR System at OFC’24 - Seite 2

The Juniper Networks 800G PTX10002-36QDD Packet Transport Router represents a next-generation, cloud-optimized routing platform, built upon Juniper's Express 5 ASIC. It offers unmatched operational simplicity, power efficiencies and enhanced performance, supporting dense 100GbE, 400GbE and 800GbE for robust scalability across various WAN and data center use cases, particularly in anticipation of significant capacity expansion driven by the rapid deployment of AI/ML clusters. With its industry-leading 28.8 Tbps capacity, it excels in environments where space and power are limited.

"As pluggable coherent optics become smaller and more capable, they will increasingly dominate the telecommunications industry. 800ZR doubles the available speed of the wildly successful 400ZR, providing a low-cost, low-power solution which eliminates the need for large, custom optical equipment in data center interconnections. Looking ahead, we expect to see Pluggable 800G shipments approaching 500k annually by 2028.”

“The industry’s first high optical output power 800G ZR/ZR+ pluggable transceiver is built on the most advanced 140 GBaud IC-TROSA which was also an industry first we introduced in September 2023. We continue to advance state-of-the-art optical transmission in core networks by leveraging the inherent capabilities of our indium phosphide technology platform. Indium phosphide photonic integrated circuits are differentiated by their high optical output power in combination with high performance, which enables disruptive use cases such as IP-over-DWDM in metro and DCI networks.”

“The rapid advancement of technologies like smartphones, remote work setups, broadband services and cloud computing underscores the need for faster networking solutions such as 800G. Hyperscalers are likely to lead the deployment of 800G in data center and interconnect environments. Accelerating the release of ZR+ versions, including 0dBm, will drive the adoption of these technologies in transport networks, enhancing operator and user experiences. System integration and multivendor collaboration are crucial for bringing disruptive technologies like this to market. The complete 800ZR solution marks a significant milestone in the industry.”
