Network providers are expanding the role of coherent technology, bringing its scale and ease-of-use benefits to new areas of the network. This evolution is driving the need for divergent requirements moving forward: the need for both performance- and footprint-optimized solutions. Attend this session to understand the important factors driving the cost equation for each of the solution options. You’ll also learn how to match the best coherent solution to specific network applications based on your networking requirements.
