As the industry moves towards the adoption of ITU standards, it's important to understand the system characterization parameters and capacity expectations. Simple back-to-back transponder characterization and system OSNR measurements are not sufficient for accurate system performance evaluation.
In this workshop, Niall Robinson and other industry experts will discuss characterization metrics for "open cable" system application and existing experience with system commissioning. B2B performance and nonlinearity compensation capabilities of different transponders will be, covered, as well as the necessary system parameters required for "black box" system characterization.
