This technical workshop is about deployment of DCO (digital coherent optics) transceivers in modern networks. We want to cover the following topics:

• Transceiver hardware for Coherent transmission and 400GE and beyond
• Optical interface and standards
• Means for overcoming physical limitations and how to configure them
• Deployment in the real world

The workshop presenters will be representatives of Arista, BCIX, Flexoptix, Nokia and Smartoptics

Participants should have technical experience with network devices and some traditional transceivers (10G, 100G, 400G). More experienced technicians are welcome to share their experience.

Join us for an amzing evening on Monday, at Quinto Elemento!

The philosophy of the restaurant is gorunded in its name; the entire universe is made up of four elements:
EARTH, FIRE, WATER AND AIR. There is a fifth element that complements and gives meaning to all the others:
Some call them energy, others soul and some happiness. Welcome to fifthelement. 

Located on the seventh floor of the emblematic building at 125 Atocha Street in Madrid, in the heart of the capital's art triangle, is quintoelemento. A unique proposal in the city, immersive, avant-garde and different where you can let yourself be carried away by the ambience, the traveling flavors of the highest gastronomy or by a surprising signature cocktail bar.

Quinto Elemento has a futuristic rooftop with a retractable dome from where you can almost touch the stars of the capital or take a virtual walk in high definition.
