On a related topic and using the same rationale, we are working with industry partners on standardizing a simple and DCI pluggable point-to-point line-system, with the EDFAs integrated into QSFP. This would be optimized for around 100 km and 8-16 channels of 400G-ZR wavelengths, for which most existing solutions are over-capable in the context of…
