Innovation Rewards Highlights | Lightwave

In our 12th annual Lightwave+BTR Innovation Reviews, technology developers have been introduced or improved in various technological categories for reviewing our independent judges since March 2024. In some cases, this led to entries for products that debuted at OFC 2025 at the end of this March.

The readers will notice something else with this year's price list. After merging the former broadband technology report (BTR) with Lightwave last year, the Innovation Awards will now honor innovations in both visually and broadband.

Lightwave+BTR editor Sean Buckley, as an Award Manager, has assigned each entry of at least three judges who get to know each other in the corresponding technology or application. This year, 16 judges from various industry segments, including the provider community, service provider and industry analysts, take part in the awards.

In this special feature we have collected highlights of our award winners.

For a full view of all winners of 2025, see the Lightwave+BTR website and our section “Innovation Awards”.
