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.

 


Key advantages

  • 4 independent spatial channels in each fibre

  • Lower footprint

  • Proven deployment in live field environments

  • Quantum-aware channel isolation for future security requirements

 

This architecture is particularly relevant for:

Metro densification and brownfield upgrades

Data-center campus and regional DCI

Rail, defense, and mission-critical corridors

Operators targeting high capacity with low environmental impact
