…today’s existing channels such as 10G. Gridless Multiplexing The WSS (Wavelength Selective Switch) can be used as the active MUX/DeMUX to enable remote control and automation of wavelength routing within a fiber plant. The WSS is a fixed grid product on either a 50GHz or 100GHz grid. To enable gridless…

…interworking. Flexible ROADM architecture The ROADM functionality is delivered 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…

…Infonetics Research issued a report this week highlighting what it called “explosive growth” in the ROADM wavelength selective switch (WSS) components market, with 95% growth in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period last year.  Infonetics also predicts that the WDM ROADM…

…and associated amplifiers, while also simplifying engineering 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…

…Fixed Gain (Tx) Amplifier (OAF-BC-B) The nine-port, Wavelength Selectable Switch (WSS)-based DWR module performs the primary multi-degree optical switching functionality at each ROADM node. Each DWR module contains a WSS capable of dynamically adding, dropping, or expressing any of 44 wavelengths to any…
