JDSU Introduces New Additions to WaveReady(TM) Family of Optical Network Modules and Systems
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.
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.
