Coriant release pluggable optical layer solutions

Coriant innovative network solutions provider recently released for flexible high-speed metropolitan area network applications, to meet the needs of a variety of fixed and mobile applications pluggable optical layer having innovative and cost of the solution.

Coriant pluggable optical layer to a full range of optical layer device into a series of small form-factor pluggable devices, including amplifiers, VOA, power monitor, together light beam splitter, WSS, and so on. By providing mixing and matching various functional devices, pluggable optical layer so that operators can customize the metro optical network without the need to pay for unwanted features. When the end user when there is new demand, new features can be quickly and economically by simply adding new devices to implement, which can protect past investments.

Small size, low power consumption, with support for high-density 10G and 100G optical transmission, Coriant pluggable optical layer solutions for carrier metro network bandwidth upgrade, expand capacity to the metro edge light provides a highly cost-effective solution. This solution supports a range of metro topologies and structures, such as point to point, ring, ROADM, to provide seamless undisturbed for operators to upgrade to the full ROADM capability. Compared to traditional solutions, can save costs by more than 30%, allows operators to gradually increase demand deployment. Pluggable optical layer solution will be the first application in 7100 Coriant packet optical transport platform.

OXC role

OXC is a fiber optic network node device, via optical signal cross-connect, the flexibility to effectively manage optical fiber transmission network, is the reliable network protection / restoration as well as an important means of automatic wiring and monitoring. OXC mainly by the optical cross-connect matrix, an input interface, an output interface, management control unit and other modules. Input and output interfaces directly connected to the fiber optic link were to be adapted for input and output signals, amplified. Management control unit by programming the optical cross-connect matrix, input and output interface module for monitoring and control, optical cross-connect OXC matrix core, which requires non-blocking, low latency, high speed and high reliability, and to have a one-way, two-way and broadcast in the form of function. OXC also free, time, and wavelength-division 3 types.
