Low to Mid Range DWDM Platforms

I've been using various forms of passive WDM for years. I have a couple different projects on my plate that require me to look at the next level of platform. In some projects, I'll be looking for needing to have someone long distances of glass without any electronics. Some spans could be over 6

Re: Low to Mid Range DWDM Platforms

My experience is primarily with the traditional carrier-grade folks like Ciena, Infinera, etc. but over the last decade all of those vendors have focused on improving how they scale down without sacrificing (most of the) quality and functionality - to varying degrees of success. There are also some

One of my clients is Calient Technologies: https://www.calient.net/ Their S320 optical switch is entirely photonic — no electrical transceivers in any optical path at all — using 3D MEMS technology. It’s great for reliable multi-lambda provisioning, and sports built-in power monitoring and pas

Re: Low to Mid Range DWDM Platforms

I have several of the Smart Optics DCP-M40’s in place. If you are using coherent 100G DWDM optics, you can push the M40-ZR’s to 100-120km. The exact reach depends, of course, on the quality of the fiber plant in use. From: NANOG on behalf of Dave Bell Date: Friday, October 6, 2023 at 9:54 AM

Re: Low to Mid Range DWDM Platforms

Well, and that's kinda where I was going. I've used FS passive systems for years. FS has an active platform or two (that I understand, they just whitebox). Does it really do everyone one would need to do? How much of a step is it to get something more? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Comp

I'll throw another in the hat for SmartOptics... great products and support. We have a good deal of their stuff for local regional deployments and it's super reliable, even at over 100km on a mediocre dark fiber span. From: NANOG On Behalf Of Joe Freeman Sent: Friday, October 6, 2023 9:01 AM To
