Re: [HSSG] <HSSG-FOAH> Meeting
Hi Chris,
thanks for the update. I am not speaking for a component vendor
so I don't know whether my feedback here can be considered as
a solution being "under active investigation". However, from a system
vendor's perspective I think that the serial solution (the last two rows
of your table) only makes sense for a WDM network which would
be at 1550nm and at reaches of 40km and beyond. These fields are
currently white but they are, at least from our perspective, under active
investigation ... I will make further contributions on the serial PHY at
the next meeting(s).
