PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced the release of new additions to its WaveReady(TM) product
line of scalable optical transport solutions designed for access
and metro optical networks. Added to the portfolio are a 10 Gb/s
tunable transponder with forward error correction (FEC), a power
balancing system, and a 40-channel universal
multiplexer/de-multiplexer. The new WaveReady products will be on
display at CeBIT 2009 in Hannover, Germany, March 3-8 (Hall 13,
stand B20). Leveraging JDSU's market-leading optical technology,
the WaveReady system provides a compact solution for tunable
optical networks providing automated optical gain equalization that
ensures maximum network availability and reduces the need for
costly maintenance. "The demand for multichannel and reconfigurable
10 GigE transport is growing extremely fast due to the widespread
deployment of broadband and the emergence of new
bandwidth-intensive business and network applications," said
Michael McCallen, JDSU director of the WaveReady product line.
"Service Providers require flexible, reliable and easy-to-deploy 10
Gb/s transport solutions like those offered by WaveReady, and
combined with other products in the WaveReady family, the new
additions provide a complete solution that is very attractive for
service providers who are looking to rapidly increase their network
capacity with maximum flexibility." Introduced at CeBIT: -- The
WaveReady WRT-852, a compact C-Band or L-Band tunable transponder
with Forward Error Correction (FEC) designed for reliable and cost
effective transport of 10 Gb/s services. The WRT-852 supports the
transport of multiple services, including OTN, SONET/SDH, Ethernet,
and Fibre Channel. The WRT-852 dramatically improves the
transmission performance of 10 Gb/s services with Forward Error
Correction (FEC) and provides statistics on SONET/SDH and Ethernet
traffic; -- The WaveReady WRS-05AD1C00B, providing per-channel
power balancing capabilities for tunable, amplified networks; and
-- The WaveReady 40-channel Universal Multiplexer, featuring high
isolation and low insertion loss in a compact platform compatible
with point-to-point or OADM deployments. About the JDSU WaveReady
product line The JDSU WaveReady product line is a scalable
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical transport solution
designed for metro, access and enterprise optical networks.
WaveReady optical network systems offer a wide variety of transport
solutions giving services providers and network operators a simple
and cost effective platform to address their diverse optical
networking needs. The WaveReady platform offers compact and
flexible CWDM and DWDM optical transponders, muxponders and
regenerators capable of transporting any services (including OTN,
SONET, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel) at any rate between 125 Mb/s
and 11.1 Gb/s. The platform also includes single-channel and
multi-channel (DWDM) optical amplifiers, CWDM and DWDM optical
multiplexers/demultiplexers, optical add/drop/mux (OADM) modules,
dispersion compensation modules, and optical protection and network
monitoring solutions. The platform is a robust plug-and-play
solution that is simple to operate and easy to manage using the
WaveReady Node Manager graphical user interface. The capability,
flexibility, density and compact size of the WaveReady platform
makes it an ideal optical transport solution. For more details on
