…using the Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS), a module of the Common Photonic Layer platform. The WSS enables dynamic “on the fly” optical branching to up to five different optical paths, in addition to Complex procedure automation facilitating local add/drop of individual wavelengths. It supports…

…of the network * Delivers a complete suite of integrated Wavelength-Selective Switch (WSS)-based ROADMs, including directionless and colorless architectures, for flexible per wavelength add/drop/passthrough as well as per wavelength switching * Provides aggregation/statistical multiplexing on MEF-certified…

…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 the benefits of reconfigurable optical…

…the Select OADM can be installed initially as a terminal and upgraded to a full OADM as traffic demands dictate. Select OADM nodes can also be pre-provisioned for in-service upgrades to multi-degree optical switch sites. The Select OADM supports mixed 2.5 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s, and 40 Gb/s wavelengths, as well…

…switching. By using a common software-defined intelligence to select optimal routing, grooming and protection schemes from a full portfolio of fiber, band, wavelength and sub-wavelength options, CoreDirector will enable service providers to optimize bandwidth utilization and overall network switching…

…channels that can be used to carry traffic. The filtering can be achieved using passive filters, active configurable MUX/DeMUX elements (e.g. Wavelength Selective Switch) or a combination of passive and configurable elements. The traditional terrestrial grid spacing is typically on the ITU 50GHz or 100GHz…

…packet-switched environment, including packet-optical switching capacity increases of up to 3.6 Tbps of capacity that can scale up to 15 Tbps as the carrier’s requirements evolve. In addition, Mobily’s network will take advantage of Ciena’s LE-311v Service Delivery Switch, ActivEdge…
