FPGAs: Addressing the Insatiable Bandwidth in Carrier/Optical Networking

Shreyas Shah will discuss the evolving optical-transport network (OTN) and how FPGAs have become an enabling technology. As the industry's demand for higher bandwidth grows, equipment vendors are beginning to upgrade their switches and routers with new high bandwidth line cards. At the same time, the demand for reduction of CAPEX and OPEX is accelerating adoption of OTN equipment across various market segments. Shah will discuss how FPGAs are ideal in addressing high bandwidth interfaces and highly granular QoS technical challenges while enabling lowest total cost of ownership.
