Telecommunications always relied on Telcordia testing (GR-468 etc)
• 10-20 year lifetime, low FIT rates, accelerated testing
• Datacommunications (datacenters) looked at simplifying R&QA to
reduce cost
• Recent datacenter requirements proposed 3yr fork-lift equipment changes,
and reduced R&QA expectations
• Today’s datacenter folks are now looking to re-establish high reliability testing
to reduce failure rates from 1000s of photonics equipment
• Net net ? R&QA is still critical and needs to be taken very seriously
• Next generation PICs must aim towards Telcordia requirements
PIC semiconductor robustness/reliability
R&QA needs to be aimed between datacom and telecom today

ECOC 2019 Slide 37

If 20 years R/T or 5000 hours, then by the simple math and knowing over 2000 hours successful completion, likely 5000 hours by end of 2019 or shortly thereafter

jeunke- I can see a scenario whereby one of the Tier 1s is willing to do a deal on less than 5000 hours. The Tier 1 might still want testing to continue but is able to extrapolate out to 5000 hours with something less. They just may want to get the ball rolling.
