Data Center Interconnects (DCI) are high capacity communication links that connect separate data centers to enable the transfer of large volumes of data. They typically use high speed optical transmission over fiber to provide low latency and high reliability. Data center interconnects support cloud services, distributed computing, and large scale data storage across geographically separated facilities.
NEC Laboratories America’s Optical Networking & Sensing team will participate in OFC 2026 in Los Angeles, March 15–19, contributing to panels, workshops, and courses focused on optical sensing, multicore fibers, and next-generation high-capacity optical communication systems.
