SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Open XR Optics Forum announced today the availability of the Open XR Signal Specification document. This milestone document provides a full line-side signal specification for Open XR Optics transceivers, enabling implementation of line-side compatible transceivers.

This specification document defines the following key building blocks of the Open XR Optics technology:

Subcarrier-based transmission format for Open XR modules
Processing blocks from client-side to line-side
Interoperable Forward Error Correction (IFEC), including the encoding process, code design rules, and memory structure
Bit to label mapping
Framing and gain sharing
Label to symbol mapping
And out-of-band communications

The signal specification has been developed and approved by the Open XR Optics Forum. These specifications further advance multi-vendor availability and interoperability of Open XR Optics-enabled transceivers through standardization.
