Shivendu S. asked a question to Dharmendra S.
Thank you for the question.
Nokia is developing next-generation high-capacity DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) products to address the exponential growth in network bandwidth demand driven by AI applications, cloud services, and data center expansion. Nokia's research is focused on enabling highly scalable, energy-efficient, and secure optical networking solutions for the future. Key research areas include:
- Application-optimized DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) tailored for Access, Metro, National Long Distance (NLD), and Subsea networks.
- Advanced InP and Silicon Photonics chipsets for high-performance, high-capacity optical transmission.
- Network automation and open line systems to improve operational efficiency, flexibility, and multi-vendor interoperability.
- Space and power-optimized optical platforms for Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications.
- Quantum-secured optical transmission technologies to provide enhanced protection against emerging cybersecurity threats.
I hope this helped.
