At OFC this year, the industry’s focus was not just on the newest and greatest optical technologies, but also on the health of the industry in general. This topic was front and center in the Executive Forum Fireside Chat titled “Growth and Profitability in Optical Networking – Boom and Bust or Sustainable?” I was joined on this panel by speakers from Huawei, Hisense, and MACOM and the discussion centered around the industry’s recent growth and profitability and whether it would be sustainable for the long term.
