Hyperscalers: Reshaping the Optical Transport Market — And Telcos are Getting the Picture

December 4th, 2023

Hyperscalers are driving the shape of new metro optical networks – literally. AWS, Microsoft and Google have reshaped data center to data center connectivity over the years and now, as they populate their data centers with telecoms equipment, they are deploying it in higher density, with a better power utilization than telcos get.

This is because they are not depth constrained so can go up to 600 millimeters deep unlike the standard telco 300mm hard limitation. They also use front to back cooling in hot and cold aisle deployments. This approach is now impacting telco environments. Read the complete article, Simon Dux, Mobile Europe.
