CHATSWORTH, California,
June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MRV
Communications™, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVC) ("MRV®"), a provider of
innovative network solutions for data center operators, service
providers, and enterprises, introduces new 200G coherent digital
muxponders to its OptiDriver® WDM optical transport portfolio that
are optimized for Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and telecom
applications. With the addition of these new muxponders,
OptiDriver is now one of the only platforms that covers the full
range of applications, from smaller access locations to large metro
and regional WDM networks, all with one set of modules and
chassis. This simplifies network design, reduces stranded
chassis space, limits sparing requirements, minimizes learning
curves, and ensures interoperability for data center operators,
communication service providers and enterprises.
The new MRV offering is based on digital coherent technology and
enables a complete solution, ranging from 100G transponder module
to the 200G muxponder modules, all in miniature form factor to
optimize service density and reliability. 200G muxponders
excel in high-service granularity, which means that the failure of
a module only affects the service on one port. The high port
density configuration of the 600G triple muxponder, integrates
three independent 200G muxponders in a 1RU configuration. These
solutions provide unique chassis-based modularity across the entire
product line with advanced management options including Ethernet
and OTN/FEC PM, OTN OAM&P, as well as remote management
capabilities based on GCC-channels, and the best overall value for
any high density optical transport application.
Based on coherent digital CFP2-DCO optics, OptiDriver 100G
transponder and 200G muxponders enable a pay-as-you grow strategy
that offers real economy combined with a rich feature set offering
industry leading service-density and power-efficiency.
The new transponder and muxponders are particularly energy
efficient with between 0.16 and 0.25 watts/Gb, the highest power
efficiency in the industry. Additionally, the new modules
provide extremely high density when used in the full range of
OptiDriver chassis from the OD-1, compact one slot desktop unit, to
the OD-4-DCI, 1RU modular pizza box, to the OD-48-HD, a 48 slot
metro and regional WDM platform. Using these new modules
enables 1.2 Terabits in the 1RU OD-4-DCI chassis and up to 18
Terabits in the OD-48-HD, a 10RU chassis. The chassis can be
stacked together for ease of management and even greater
bandwidth.
"MRV's new 200G data center interconnect and telco WDM modules
offer plug-and-play service activation via our multilayer
Pro-Vision® Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) software
platform," commented Adam Scheer,
Chief Operating Officer for MRV Communications. "Ease of
installation and sophisticated management features, as well as the
use of CFP2 form factor optics, ensure that our customers can stay
at the leading edge of optical transport technology to expand and
operate next generation networks easily and efficiently."
"MRV is advancing flexible solutions for DCI and telco
applications alike," added Tim
Doiron, Principal Analyst for ACG Research. "With the
introduction of multiple next-generation 100G and 200G coherent
DWDM transponders and muxponders for their unique, modular
architecture, MRV is helping service providers in four
essential areas: lower power, pluggable versatility,
wire-speed encryption capability and simplified operations."
The new ultra-high bandwidth modules can be used in combination
with other modules in the OptiDriver portfolio including optical
add/drop multiplexers (OADM), multi rate and multiprotocol
transponders, dispersion compensation, ROADMs, optical
multiplexers, and amplifiers, giving service providers the ultimate
flexibility to meet any DWDM network requirement.
These new modules have also been designed to support Layer 1
wire-speed, hardware-ready encryption with future software
activation, and Open Line System (OLS) architecture.
OptiDriver's standard ITU-T grid DWDM solutions support the
transport of alien wavelengths over existing optical network
infrastructure equipment to create best-of-breed optical transport
solutions.
The entire OptiDriver solution can be managed with MRV's
Pro-Vision® Life Cycle Service Orchestration service management and
orchestration software platform.
