In 1993, our Internet backbone, #AS1299, was born. Three decades on, we’re still connecting a brighter future – day by day, minute by minute, bit by bit. To commemorate this milestone, we created a short film that highlights just some of the ways our network changed the world.

From the further deployment of coherent pluggable optics and C+L band technology to continued network disaggregation, 2025 holds immense opportunities for operators who pursue optical innovation. In a feature article for the Winter 2024 edition of #Lightwave+BTR, Arelion's Chief Evangelist, Mattias Fridström covers the trends that will likely shape the optical landscape next year and beyond, such as Shannon’s Limit, network disaggregation, and managed optical fiber networking.
