Optics Around the World… of Solutions at Cisco Live 2019

At Cisco Live 2019 in San Diego this week, you can learn about the latest networking technology at the sessions, browse new products and solutions at the World of Solutions, and even party with Foo Fighters and Weezer at the Cisco Live Celebration!

Speaking of the World of Solutions, you’ll find Cisco Optics all around the floor. The main demo will be in the Service Provider Zone. We’ll showcase some of our latest products, as well as a unique live demo created by the folks who joined us via the Luxtera acquisition.

Sample optics will be on display in the Data Center Space with Nexus 9k, and the Campus Wall. You’ll also find us in the booths of fiber cable infrastructure providers Panduit, Corning, and Leviton.

And don’t forget to join the sessions. Cisco Optics will be at the SP Power Session on Tuesday at 2pm, where the VP’s and SVP’s below will discuss how Cisco is prepared to guide service providers through network transformation — driven by architectural shifts, 5G, and automation. Register here.

Get up to Speed – Preparing for 400 Gb/s BRKOPT-2006

Tuesday, June 11, 01:00 PM – 02:00 PM | SDCC – Upper Level, Room 31C

Distinguished Speaker: Errol Roberts, Distinguished Systems Engineer – Sales, Cisco Systems, Inc.

According to Cisco visual networking Index, overall IP traffic is expected to grow to 396 EB per month by 2022. This just highlights the data growth and bandwidth demand pushing the optics industry to innovate to address the demands for cost efficiency, bandwidth and the varying solution landscape. This session provides an update on industry trends, technology developments, what’s available now, what’s coming next in the high-speed optics industry. System architecture and solutions will be examined to highlight the differing and converging market requirements. The impact of 25G, 50G and 100G SERDES or I/O be discussed along with development in 100 GbE and 400 GbE implementations. The session is targeted to everybody interested in learning more about high speed optics technologies and solutions.

See you there!
