Infinera’s Vision of Optical Networking at ECOC 2019

Dublin’s famous beer, its soul-stirring music (think U2 and Thin Lizzy), and its vibrant city life will soon be temporarily overshadowed by the ECOC Exhibition 2019, which takes place next week. Attendees from all over the world will gather to see and hear the latest cutting-edge developments in optical networking communications. As the world’s leader in optical engine technology, Infinera will be right in the middle of it.

Infinera’s founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. Dave Welch, Ph.D., will present “Innovation in Digital Subcarrier Technology” on Monday, September 23, at 3:40 p.m. in a Market Focus session. During his presentation, Dr. Welch will discuss new Infinera technology for transport network architectures.

Additionally, several Infinera experts will present technical papers and participate in panel discussions to share with the industry the latest technology innovations they are working on.
