Metro DWDM

Metro Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems are designed for access, metro and regional optical networking applications.

1830 Photonic Service Switch The 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) is a multi-reach photonic platform, providing the first commercially available support for best-in-class, single carrier 100G Next-Generation Coherent technology. Benefits include the following: Best in class, highly integrated 100G next generation electro-optics technology with coherent detection helps operators to easily deploy high capacity networks and leverage their assets while lowering the cost per transported bit Reduced operating expenses, by making WDM networking more flexible and automated, simpler and quicker to operate by facilitated NOC-based services avoiding on-site manual interventions Accelerated time to service for wavelength services that can be set in minutes by NOC without lengthy and costly on-site intervention High automation reduces service time-granularity and paves the way to a new breed of on-demand wavelength service offering, reusing a same bandwidth resource multiple times Improved capacity by adding “any-wavelength-to-anywhere” for significant savings in CAPEX as traffic explosion can be cost-effectively accommodated Significant savings in space and power per transported bit
1692 Metrospan Edge (Metro CWDM System) The 1692 Metrospan Edge addresses requirements for cost-effective, scalable networks to meet growing organizational and data networking needs. Based on coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) technology, it provides a cost-optimized, managed platform supporting different services and is suitable for applications in diversified network topologies. The system can support up to eight wavelengths and can be configured as a terminal or OADM (Optical Add Drop Multiplexer). Benefits include the following: Optimized footprint and power consumption Compatible with existing technologies already deployed in the metro (for example, cost-effective interworking with SDH/SONET and DWDM) Reduced CAPEX: more data services on standard CWDM platform at incremental costs. Up to four different services transported in one lambda thanks to 4xAny TDM concentrator Reduced OPEX: simplified network operations and operators’ staff training thanks to the unified network management system Reduced time-to-deployment: advanced data services can be delivered by adding 4xAny board when and where needed
1694 Enhanced Optical Networking The 1694 Enhanced Optical Networking can help expand metro network capabilities affordably, without adding redundant fiber optic cable. It is a 32-wavelength DWDM system designed to deliver up to 320 Gbps protected capacity over a single strand of fiber. This enhanced system is a cost-effective, highly scalable DWDM system for access/metro/regional rings. Benefits include the following: Both higher-capacity and higher-value wavelength services on a single platform Ease of operations; plug-and-play growth with a wide range of client interfaces Differentiated Service Level Agreements (SLAs) via various protection options Scalability and flexibility to help meet future traffic demands (avoid future promises) Metro fiber network capacity of up to 64 unprotected wavelengths in a single node
1696 Metrospan (Metro WDM) The 1696 Metrospan is a versatile metropolitan WDM platform supporting a broad range of data rates, easily customized for both non-amplified systems used for intra-city networks, or amplified systems for metro and regional networks. It is compact, scalable up to 32 channels, and can be installed in any environment, from a central office to a basement closet. Benefits include the following: Common platform across applications Incremental growth without service interruption Compact footprint and low power consumption Rapid deployment of next generation services Improved network resource utilization Simplified provisioning and resource management
