&lt;p class="std-text">The optical networking market is projected to double in size within a few years, according to Ciena CEO Gary Smith. This surge marks the end of the industry&amp;#039;s decade-long stagnation between $12 billion and $13 billion, replaced by an era where network capacity dictates computational power. The thesis is clear: &lt;strong>hyperscaler demand&lt;/strong> for AI training clusters has fundamentally broken historical growth ceilings, making optical infrastructure the primary bottleneck for generative intelligence.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
