Corning to Showcase Industry Leadership at 2018 Optical Networking and Communication Conference
March 13 2018 - 08:30AM
CORNING, N.Y.; MARCH 13, 2018 - Corning
Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) will showcase its broad industry
leadership with new products and award-winning solutions, and
highlight its collaboration with leaders in the industry at the
2018 Optical Networking and Communication Conference &
Exhibition (OFC) March 13-15 in San Diego, California.
Corning innovations are designed to help operators
stay ahead of bandwidth needs by accelerating network deployment
and enhancing network performance. Corning (booth #2822) will
highlight optical fiber, cable, and connectivity solutions such as
TXF(TM) optical fiber for next-generation long-haul networks and
RocketRibbon(TM) extreme-density cable for data center and carrier
environments.
"Demand for high-speed connectivity is putting
pressure on networks, so speed of installation and cutting-edge
network capability are more important than ever," said Clark S.
Kinlin, executive vice president, Corning Optical Communications.
"As the only end-to-end manufacturer and supplier of optical
solutions, we work continuously with our customers to develop
solutions that keep their networks future-ready while minimizing
total cost of ownership."
Corning will highlight:
- TXF(TM) optical fiber, which enables high
data-rate transmission over longer spans and extended reach for
improved network flexibility and lower network cost. At the
conference, Corning will jointly demonstrate with Infinera (booth
#4547) a 600 km link of TXF fiber used to connect Infinera's
advanced optical transmission equipment, illustrating the ability
to scale capacity up to 55 Tb/s per fiber. Also, a joint research
paper with leading global telecoms operator BT, prepared for the
OFC Technical Symposium, details the superior transmission
performance of TXF fiber compared to standard single-mode fibers
for 400G.
- RocketRibbon(TM) extreme-density cable, which
enables up to 30 percent faster installation than other
high-density ribbon cables. With up to 3,456 fibers per cable, it
allows operators to quickly install more capacity in the same duct
space to accommodate increased bandwidth demand. In addition to the
improved fiber density, a unique ribbon design makes the fibers
within RocketRibbon cable easy to manage, identify, and trace - all
of which significantly improves install times and lowers ongoing
maintenance costs.
- The FlexNAP(TM) multiuse system, which provides
the most cost-effective method of deploying optical fiber in
distribution networks, with speeds up to five times faster than
traditional field installations. FlexNAP is a finalist for an
innovation award to be presented during the conference as part of
the 2018 Lightwave Innovation Reviews.
- EDGE8(TM), the industry's first tip-to-tip,
preterminated optical cabling system designed to allow simple
migration to a future-ready base-8 design. Recognized last year
with innovation awards in Asia, Europe, and North America, EDGE8
Solutions provide improved density, network uptime, speed, and ease
of use.
- Corning's newest solutions for original equipment
manufacturers, including a 12-channel fiber array unit with a
90-degree light turn that fits within small spaces and offers high
reliability, small banding loss, and precise assembly length. The
FAU is among the innovations stemming from Corning's 2016
acquisition of Alliance Fiber Optic Products Inc.
The San Diego Convention Center, site of the
conference, recently upgraded cellular service and capacity using
the Corning® ONE(TM)
Wireless Platform. Conference attendees can hear a panel discussion
and sign up for tours highlighting key parts of the Distributed
Antenna System that enhance cellular connectivity using a
"fiber-deep" infrastructure that reduces total cost of ownership.
The system can also scale to support future capacity
requirements.
Corning experts will offer insights on industry
trends during workshops throughout the conference. Attendees are
invited to experience Corning's innovations and more at booth
#2822. For more information, visit Corning's online portal or media
