If your organization did not start their optical switch platform efforts ten years ago, don't despair. You can now buy this technology off the shelf. https://ww

  “Now”, this technology is multiple decades old at this point, but due to it still being a niche, low-volume product, is still fiendishly expensive. The previous (192x192 port) version of that Huber-Suhner switch ran nearly $205k the last time I priced it out and that was with discount approximately four years ago. Individual MEMS mirrors are multiple $hundreds each, fiber collimators are approximately a hundred bucks in quantity.

    That really does not seem that expensive - pretty sure 800Gb/s switches with that many ports cost around the same ballpark.
