On March 31, during OFC 2025 at the Moscone Center, Lightwave + BTR concluded its 12th annual Innovation Review by honoring standout achievements in telecom networking. Juniper Networks and Elisa Oyj earned one of only two perfect 5.0 scores for the world’s first 800ZR in-service deployment of its 800G router (PTX10002-36QDD) integrated with early-release 800ZR optics. This trailblazing 800ZR IPoDWDM solution powers the backbone network of Elisa Oyj, Finland’s leading telecom and digital service provider.
Lightwave Judges’ comment:
“Juniper has developed a flexible platform and deployment that allows Elisa to simplify its aggregation network for its fixed and mobile networks.”
