Available for deployment on the 4200 RS, ROADM allows the same control over the optical path that network operators enjoy over individual services. A ROADM architecture enables networks to maximize available system bandwidth by adding dynamic reconfigurability at the individual wavelength level, ideal…

…Advanced Services Platform throughout its Santiago network. The operator is utilizing the CN 4200’s reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) functionality in its metro network infrastructure to enhance the delivery of its triple play offering, which includes sophisticated digital TV, like…

…Carolinas and Georgia, has deployed the CN 4200® RS FlexSelect® Advanced Services Platform with reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) functionality, along with other products in Ciena’s CN 4200 family. PalmettoNet is using Ciena’s CN 4200 platform to increase its network…

…control we needed beyond the basic 10G wavelengths other vendors were proposing.” Unlike capital-intensive competitive solutions that required a ROADM at every node of the network, Ciena’s CN 4200 family provided UMS multiple chassis sizes and technology options, including remotely-programmable…

…creating the only solution that uses a hybrid electrical and optical ROADM design to combine whole and sub-wavelength switching in one platform. Through efficient electrical grooming of services onto each wavelength, the CN 4200 ROADM uses up to 78 percent fewer wavelengths and, for the first time, brings…

…channels to be dropped from any part of the C-band spectrum to support a variety of traffic patterns. The Select OADM incorporates Reconfigurable OADM (ROADM) functionality to adapt to changes in traffic patterns through software control. To reduce network costs, the Select OADM can be installed initially…

Features & benefits * Allows any mix of wavelengths through single channel add/drop granularity * Provides fast response to traffic demand with ROADM * Features full add/drop capability * Supports ultra long-haul and ultra-high density (25 GHz spacing) on the same platform * Supports 2.5 Gb/s, 10…
