Nokia at ECOC 2026
21 Sep 2026 - 23 Sep 2026
FYCMA, Málaga, Spain
Advancing connectivity in the AI era with optical innovation
Please join us at ECOC 2026, the leading event in Europe to discuss key innovations in fiber optic communications.
Gain insights from experts and connect with industry thought leaders at the largest and most prestigious event on optical communications in Europe and the second largest worldwide. At ECOC, researchers from both industry and academia and professionals come together to discuss and explore advances and probe future trends that will enable scientific progress and economic growth.
Demonstrations
Visit Nokia in booth #1100 to experience our latest optical network innovations and discover how they help build scalable, secure infrastructure for the AI-powered applications shaping the future including:
Optical subsystems and components
Discover Nokia's latest optical subsystem and component innovation.
Explore intra data center connectivity, from an ultra-low power 1.6T LPO module to a preview of next generation 448G per lane transmission on the path to 3.2T optics.
See how a new hybrid SiPh+TFLN optical front-end is built to power high-performance 800G and beyond coherent optical engines.
Data center interconnect and Scale-across
Explore our innovations for data center interconnect, including IPoWDM, thin transponders, high-speed embedded optical engines, multi-rail EDFA line systems, 800G ZR coherent pluggables, and 400G XR optics. The demo will show how these technologies enable more efficient and scalable connectivity at lowest power-per-bit for modern optical networks.
AI-assisted network automation
Explore the demo for a preview of AI-assisted network operations that measure, analyze, predict, and suggest actions based on real-time optical network insights. See how operators can reduce energy consumption, accelerate root-cause diagnosis to lower mean time-to-repair and discover and monitor the underlying network to optimize performance and ensure SLA compliance.
Augmented reality
Experience immersive AR that visualizes intra-DC connectivity and next-gen optical transport.
