Are optoelectronic converged routers any good
There are many benefits to deploying a converged optical and routing architecture, including reduced equipment cost, streamlined operations and network agility. 6T quantum-safe encryption solution on the Waveserver platform was designed with this in mind, supporting QKD system interworking and NIST-certified PQC algorithms. The convergence of IP and optical technologies is making service provider networks more efficient and sustainable to support bandwidth and resource-intensive applications like AI, 4K/8K video, and virtual reality apps. In January 2021, I published my first blog about the potential role of 400ZR and ZR+ pluggable coherent optics in building more efficient IP–optical networks for the 400GE era.
