June’s Telecom Exchange event featured a CEO roundtable comprised of the industry’s top C-Level executives. Among these C-levels was XKL’s CEO, Len Bosack. The discussion focused on the future of telecom and the demand for “more” at a faster rate. In the discussion on speed, Len brought up fiber quality. As companies want to move capacity faster, they begin to realize the fiber that was previously acceptable is not acceptable any longer. Discrepancies in fiber, such as age and damage that could be hidden before are now transparent as the demand for speed increases. Len continues to discuss that if companies want to go above 100G than it is time for a new plan; existing equipment will not be able to continue to run efficiently at increasing speeds on the infrastructure that exists today. A new plan for new fiber is crucial for the future of 100G and beyond and XKL is preparing for that future through testing equipment on new fiber.
XKL develops products that fit into a systems-oriented vision of an optical network. XKL engineers perform extensive network modeling, develop a comprehensive architecture, select a specific implementation of that architecture, and validate that implementation through exhaustive simulation. This extensive testing is what makes XKL’s equipment reliable, cost-efficient and easy to use.
