With its standards-compliant design, our coherent 100ZR facilitates multi-vendor interoperability for 100Gbit/s transmission up to 300km over any open line system, while the FSP 3000 OLS streamlines operations and ensures flexible, scalable transport with optimal performance,” said Christoph Glingener, CTO of Adtran. “This collaboration with the OIF and other major industry players demonstrates our commitment to providing open solutions that meet the evolving demands of the cloud and the optical edge.”

The joint solution on display showcases exceptional optical performance, with the Adtran FSP 3000 OLS ensuring streamlined setup and precise operation. Equipped with integrated monitoring and diagnostic functions, as well as a high level of automation, the FSP 3000 OLS simplifies management and optimizes transmission performance. The collaboration with industry leaders highlights Adtran’s commitment to open optical networking solutions and demonstrates how its technology is built to industry standards. This approach offers the flexibility and scalability needed to meet diverse customer requirements while advancing multi-vendor interoperability.

“For decades, we’ve been pioneers in the DCI space, enabling enterprises and cloud providers to build high-capacity, high-performance networks. Our solutions are built around an open environment, promoting innovation and seamless interoperability with other vendors. We’re proud to be at the heart of this large-scale demonstration, where our Coherent 100ZR and FSP 3000 OLS are driving the adoption of open, multi-vendor interoperability for data center applications,” commented Stephan Neidlinger, VP of global business development at Adtran. “By championing openness and collaboration across the industry, we’re advancing high-performance networking and reaffirming our leadership in delivering the technologies that will shape the future of optical networking.”

Beyond the ‘Dumb Pipe’: How Agentic AI and Sovereign Networks Are Redefining Connectivity23.6.2026 15:46:00 EEST | Press release

The global connectivity market is shifting. With traditional European telecom growth slowing to 2-3% by 2029, businesses must adapt through Agentic AI, critical communications, and digital sovereignty. To remain competitive, operators should move beyond infrastructure toward an API-driven economy. These trends took center stage at Comarch User Group 2026. The conference hosted over 700 partners from 53 countries, including 201 connectivity experts, highlighting how companies can thrive in regulated environments. As telecom growth slows, demand for broader connectivity solutions across satellite, logistics, and critical communications is surging. Operators must abandon the old 4G “dumb pipe” model, where they act merely as network providers charging only for raw data transmission, for an API-driven economy with programmable network quality, securely integrating 5G with new satellite and IoT ecosystems. - Marcin Kaleta, CEO at Comarch Communications Putting Agentic AI in the Driver's Sea
