Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we discuss in details information and communication developments (1) that have arisen in support of a rapidly expanding internet (Internet of Things, IoT) coupled with a proliferation of data centers; (2) the ensuing data rates explosion capable of reaching 800 Gb/s with coherent technology over a single wavelength; as well as (3) an increased connectivity through 5G transport networks.
