In The Lab: What Is Soft FEC?

In this video from Ciena's R&D lab in Ottawa, Michael Hubbard, a hardware systems architect for our packet-optical portfolio, introduces Soft Forward Error Correction (Soft-FEC).

Using an example of coherent optical transport using 16QAM modulation, Michael compares traditional FEC to the advantages of Soft-FEC, and the benefits that Soft-FEC can provide in optical transport networks.
