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
