➀ Marvell introduces the COLORZ III 800G, an 800G ZR+ optical module that supports up to 1000km reach at 800Gbps speeds;

➁ The module uses OSFP form factor and can be tuned for 400Gbps communication at up to 2500km;

➂ The technology behind the module involves converting electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa for long-distance data transmission.

➀ The Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) has started the CELTIC-NEXT Flagship Project SUSTAINET aimed at developing sustainable and resilient network technologies.

➁ The project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research with 30 million Euros, will run from January 2025 to December 2027.

➂ The focus is on developing future-proof networks that integrate fiber, wireless networks, and modern mobile generations, improving the availability, resilience, and sustainability of the networks.

Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) has initiated the SUSTAINET project, a €30 million research effort to develop sustainable and resilient network technologies. The project, running from January 2025 to December 2027, aims to integrate fiber optics, radio, and mobile networks to improve network availability and sustainability. It is divided into three sub-projects focusing on advanced technologies, intelligent solutions, and sustainable network architectures.

➀ The Blackmagic Cloud Dock 2 is a dual 10GbE NAS with features that make it easy to use but also limit its potential for high-capacity storage solutions.

➁ It supports U.2 NVMe SSDs but lacks compatibility with larger capacity 15mm SSDs commonly used in data centers.

➂ The NAS offers interesting features such as switched 10GbE ports and Ethernet via USB, but it falls short in performance compared to other NAS solutions on the market.

➀ The IVAM Hightech Summit 2025 will be held on May 21-22, 2025, at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany.

➁ The summit will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the IVAM association for microtechnology and will feature an extensive conference program, technical exhibition, networking events, and strategic discussions.

➂ The event aims to foster direct exchanges along the entire value chain, promoting valuable business partnerships and showcasing innovations from young companies and technology firms.

➀ The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT has established the first node for the quantum internet of the future in Aachen, Germany.

➁ This node is part of a larger project aimed at developing metropolitan scale quantum networks, connecting quantum computers and sensors securely and powerfully.

➂ The project involves multiple partners including QuTech, OPNT B.V., Element6, and TOPTICA Photonics AG, and aims to solve the repeater problem to facilitate a cross-border quantum internet.
