SubOptic takes place every 3 years; this year was held in New
Orleans, LA.
Our Philippe was a speaker at this main conference for the Cable
Submarine industry. Both of his papers / presentations were co-
authored with Ciena.
The first, entitled “VIRTUALIZING THE SUBMARINE NETWORK:
REQUIREMENTS, ARCHITECTURES, AND USE CASES” discusses
ways of sharing the bandwidth of a fiber pair among multiple users.
The second, entitled “SUPPORT OF HIGHER BAUD RATE AND
LINE RATE OVER A LEGACY SUBMARINE SYSTEM”, discusses
the challenges of supporting coherent transmission over legacy
submarine cable systems like GlobeNet’s and analyzes the capacity
that can be supported on GlobeNet’s network with the last 3
generations of coherent transponders.
As a reviewer of papers, Philippe also got to chair a session on wet
technology.
