| See STL Multicore Fibre Demo at OFC 2026 | at ITU booth (#4874, #4876), 17-19 March, Los Angeles Convention Center |  | AI workloads, distributed cloud, and edge growth are pushing capacity limits across metro and data-centre routes. Yet ducts are congested, deployment timelines are tight, and sustainability benchmarks are rising. | At STL, we are addressing this challenge through spatially multiplexed Multicore Fibre (MCF) - a field-validated fibre architecture that delivers up to 4 times the capacity in the same 125-micron geometry. It interoperates seamlessly with existing single-mode networks using standard fan-in/fan-out modules, enabling scalable upgrades without the need for trenching or new duct construction. During OFC 2026 in Los Angeles, you can visit the ITU booth (#4874 and #4876) to see the live demonstration of STL's multicore fibre. | | |
