• January 2024: OFS, a prominent figure in the fiber optic solutions realm, unveiled its latest innovation: the LaserWave Dual-Band OM4+ Multimode Optical Fiber. This addition to the lineup, alongside the already esteemed OM4 and OM5 offerings, sets new benchmarks in bandwidth, attenuation, and geometry. The LaserWave Dual-Band OM4+ stands out as a premium yet cost-effective fiber, meticulously crafted for bidirectional (BiDi) applications. It is tailored to bolster the upcoming wave of high-density, low-power multimode links. Its capability to deliver performance akin to OM5 at both 850 nm and 910 nm wavelengths is also noteworthy, which is crucial for bidirectional transmissions. This ensures a consistent 100-meter reach, a vital metric for cutting-edge applications like Terabit BiDi Ethernet, including 800G-SR4.2 and 1.6T-SR8.2.
• January 2024: Telstra International teamed up with Trans Pacific Networks (TPN) to introduce the Echo cable system, marking the inaugural subsea cable directly linking the United States and Singapore. The initial segment of the Echo cable, a dedicated fiber-optic line linking Guam and the United States, is set for a mid-2024 debut, with subsequent segments slated for 2025. Upon completion, the cable will seamlessly link California, Jakarta, Singapore, and Guam. Telstra emphasizes that this system will not only forge a new route but also promise a network infrastructure characterized by low latency, high speeds, and robust resilience.
