Nokia to showcase optical networking solutions for AI at OFC50

Summary

Nokia will showcase its networking solutions designed for AI-driven cloud connectivity at the upcoming OFC50 conference, scheduled from March 30 to April 3, 2025. This demonstration will emphasize how these solutions can help operators manage the increasing capacity demands brought on by the proliferation of cloud-based services and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads.

As cloud service providers seek optimized solutions to accommodate heightened data center capacity, Nokia's offerings aim to enhance network scalability and reduce power consumption. “The solution to challenges posed by AI and cloud-based connectivity demands starts with scale, but it certainly doesn’t end there. Nokia’s expanded portfolio of optical network solutions and technology capabilities delivers tangible network value,” stated James Watt, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Optical Networks at Nokia.

Among the innovations showcased will be the new Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Optical Line System, optimized for data center interconnection. Additionally, attendees will see new pluggable optimized muxponder and transponder line cards, as well as multi-haul 800Gb/s coherent pluggables that will enable efficient, long-distance connectivity.

Nokia will also highlight its intra-data center connectivity solutions, which promise to significantly reduce power requirements by as much as 70%. This includes demonstrations of enhanced network security solutions and AI-powered network automation designed to streamline operations across various network layers.

An executive briefing will take place on April 2, where Nokia's leadership will discuss industry trends and the implications of their optical networking solutions in the context of AI and hyperscale cloud connectivity. This event will be available via live webcast on Nokia’s Investor Relations website.
