ZTE Achieves Dual Breakthroughs in Optical Networks
ZTE announced at OFC 2026 that two of its papers were selected as Top-Scored Papers, demonstrating a record 1.2 Tb/s real-time S-band silicon photonics coherent transceiver and successful 600-km large-language-model training across three long-haul multi-AIDCs using 1,024 GPUs. Field trials validated a 16-channel 800G transmission solution, highlighted latency as critical for GPU efficiency, and evaluated hollow-core fiber to reduce latency and energy use.
Scoring Rationale
Strong experimental breakthroughs and OFC validation drive high impact, limited by company press-release framing and constrained independent replicability details.
