HN687 Juniper CORA Coherent Optics Enabling IPoDWDM

Bandwidth solves all network problems and DWDM coherent optical networks are a significant step in efficiency and cost. Coherent SFP optic modules installed into routers replace the DWDM transponders at the edge of the optical network. Source white paper (not paywalled) : Reimage IP over DWDM with Juniper CORA For those that run large-scale networks, IPoDWDM offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine the economics of DWDM operations and Juniper has products today. In this podcast we discuss how Juniper is building a complete ecoystem around coherent optics with  diverse supply sources, automation and strong open standards support and validation. Enterprises can simply implement point-to-point DCI with much less cost, space and better automation. Cloud providers can also scale up their multi-building and multi-site interconnects. Short and long haul networks get the same benefits for their needs too. JCO400 ZR+ optics can support metro 400G DWDM links over 500km, regional 300G DWDM links over 900km and long-haul 200G DWDM links over 2,000km. New OpenZR+ 0-dBm optics with high transmit power, customers can even deploy coherent pluggables in networks with significant fiber budget losses, including over ROADM infrastructures spanning hundreds of kilometers.

Heavy Networking is an unabashedly nerdy dive into all things networking. Described by one listener as "verbal white papers," the weekly episodes feature network engineers, industry experts, and vendors sharing useful information to keep your professional knowledge sharp and your career growing. Hosts Ethan Banks & Drew Conry-Murray cut through the marketing spin to explore what works—and what doesn't—in networking today, while keeping an eye on what's ahead for the industry. On air since 2010, Heavy Networking is the flagship show of the Packet Pushers podcast network.
