Colt Technology Services, the digital infrastructure company, announced that it is first to successfully trial Cisco’s 800G ZR+ coherent pluggable optics in its production network using the Cisco 8000 series routers, powered by Cisco Silicon One.
The Routed Optical Networking testing– carried out across the 667 km between Frankfurt and Munich, Germany– is the latest in a series of Colt trials with high-profile global partners designed to rethink technology’s previous limitations as businesses require efficient, low latency, future-ready networking technology for AI, machine learning, API integration and other digital applications.
