Ill believe it when I have them in my hands. Adva told us about these
months ago and have been waiting for them as long... Enet and Precision
have said they will have the same thing for almost a year now.

Looks like long-haul 100G is on the menu, boys!
To date transporting 100G over longer distances has required separate and
expensive optical transport systems or platforms with CFP interfaces.
That's about to change as regular QSFP28 form factor optics for long-haul 100G
are coming to market.
The new optics will use coherent lasers and DSPs to enable transmission
distances of 120 km without amplification and 300 km with amps. Previously this
wasn't possible since vendors could not fit all that inside the QSFP28 5 watt
power envelope. That's the real breakthrough, all the nice things like tunable
optics and flexible DWDM grids are just icing on the cake.
This is the first vendor to announce:

... more are likely to follow.
