MILPITAS, Calif., March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced the release of new additions to its WaveReady(TM) product line of scalable wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical transport solutions designed for metro, access and enterprise optical networks. Added to the portfolio are the flexible WRT-780 compact dual transponder designed for the transport of any service (OTN, SONET, Ethernet, Fibre channel) between 125 Mbps and 4.25 Gbps and new WRA-series user-configurable erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) designed to transport DWDM optical network services up to 43 Gbps.
The new WaveReady products will be on display at CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany, March 4-9 (Hall 13, stand B20).
"Leveraging its position as the premier supplier of optical communications technology, JDSU designed WaveReady to address the full range of requirements for today's optical network operators," said Bill Mortimer, vice president and general manager of JDSU's Lab, Production and Fiber Optic test businesses. "Whatever the technology-specific optical network requirements, WaveReady offers high-value solutions that service providers need to maximize the capacity of their networks, improve service delivery flexibility, and ensure long-term investment protection."
WaveReady WRT-780 Dual Transponder
Requiring no provisioning, the WRT-780 is a carrier-grade dual transponder that is simple to use, allowing service providers to easily and rapidly turn-up any new service (including OTN, SONET, Ethernet, and fibre channel) between 125 Mbps and 4.25 Gbps. The WRT-780 is a flexible, high-bandwidth transport solution that can be combined with other WaveReady WDM modules and chassis to provide cost-effective and industry-leading density for WDM transport, including Ethernet-over-WDM transport, 4.25 Gbps fibre channel for storage area network (SAN) extension, and many other WDM transport applications.
WaveReady WRA Optical Amplifiers
The new WRA series of user-configurable EDFAs are designed to transport DWDM optical network services up to 43 Gbps. The series includes configurable and cost-effective WRA-100 single-channel optical amplifiers which are offered in four different gains or output powers to accommodate various optical link budgets, boosting service providers' ability to rapidly deploy new services in their network and increase their revenue. The WRA-200 series features C-Band multichannel optical amplifiers with an ultra-fast transient response that reduces the complexity of DWDM optical networks and increases their robustness by greatly reducing the impact of optical transients on existing wavelengths and network elements. The WRA-217 and WRA-219 are user-configurable multichannel optical amplifiers well-suited to agile optical networks with their industry-leading transient response of 75 micron/sec.
About WaveReady
Addressing existing customer needs and anticipating future requirements of optical networks, JDSU's WaveReady product line offers a wide variety of transport solutions giving services providers and network operators a simple and cost-effective optical platform to address their diverse optical networking needs. The WaveReady platform offers compact and flexible CWDM and DWDM optical transponders and regenerators capable of transporting services (including OTN, SONET, Ethernet, and fibre channel) at any rate between 125 Mbps and 11.1 Gbps. The platform also includes single channel and multichannel (DWDM) optical amplifiers, CWDM/DWDM optical multiplexers/demultiplexers, optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs), dispersion compensation modules, as well as optical protection and network monitoring solutions. The platform offers a robust "plug-and-play" solution that is very simple to operate and manage using the WaveReady node manager graphical interface. The flexibility, density and compact size of the WaveReady platform makes it an ideal optical transport solution.
