Key takeaways
• Disaggregation will increase network flexibility and
reduce vendor dependency
• Partial disaggregation will reduce network operator
integration efforts
• High-speed interfaces and higher-order modulation
need to be supported by open optical line systems
(wavelength grid, optical impairment compensation,
…)
• Multi-layer and -vendor orchestration/management is
key for real network deployments
