Powerful Combination of Coriant CloudWave™
Optics and Corning® SMF-28® ULL Optical Fiber Enables DWDM 200 Gbps
16QAM Transmission over 300 Kilometers without mid-span OLAs
Coriant, a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end transport
networking solutions, and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today
announced a collaborative demonstration of dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) that will be on display at OFC 2016,
March 22-24, in Anaheim, California.
This live demonstration features Coriant CloudWave™ Optics (in
combination with the Coriant® hiT 7300 Multi-Haul Transport
Platform) 200 gigabytes per second, 16QAM transmission over 300
kilometers of SMF-28® ULL fiber in a link without intermediate
optical line amplifiers (OLAs). With 50 decibels of equipment loss
budget, the maximum distance is approximately 20 percent longer
compared to a generic single-mode fiber.
The longer reach increases the number of data center
interconnect (DCI) connections that could be covered without
intermediate OLAs. The DWDM transmission demonstration also
showcases the scalability of the link capacity up to 25.6 terabytes
per second using easy-to-deploy, co- and counter-propagating
laser Class 1M hybrid Raman amplifiers with integrated OTDR
functionality.
As data centers become increasingly distributed and growth in
cloud traffic drives demand for higher capacity DCI links, network
operators face the challenge of efficiently scaling transport
infrastructure while controlling network and operational costs.
This challenge is compounded by more stringent OSNR requirements
when increasing data rates from 100 Gbps (QPSK) to 200 Gbps using
16QAM modulation, resulting in additional mid-span amplification to
meet performance requirements and end-user service quality.
“Today’s dynamic cloud networking environment demands new levels
of efficiency and ease of deployment as network operators face
rapidly evolving optical transport reach and performance
requirements,” said Uwe Fischer, Chief Technology Officer, Coriant.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Corning to showcase the
real-world value of low cost, high capacity DCI connectivity using
our innovative Coriant CloudWave™ Optics technology and Corning’s
best-in-class ultra-low loss fiber.”
“Corning is pleased to participate with Coriant to demonstrate
how the selection of advanced technology enables high-speed data
delivery in DCI networks,” said Dr. Merrion Edwards, director of
Market and Technology Development, Optical Fiber and Cable,
Corning. “Deploying Corning’s SMF-28 ULL fiber with Coriant’s
technology delivers extended reach that can eliminate the need for
amplifiers, saving both capital and operational costs for the
network owner.”
Designed for application across Coriant’s end-to-end packet
optical transport portfolio, Coriant CloudWave™ Optics is a key
photonic layer technology solution that combines a leading signal
processing engine, optimized integrated photonics, and embedded
software intelligence to bring a new level of optical performance,
efficiency, and scalability to infrastructure networks facing
unprecedented traffic growth. SMF-28 ULL fiber has the lowest loss
of any terrestrial grade single-mode fiber with a typical
attenuation of 0.16 dB/km at 1550 nm. SMF-28 ULL fiber has been
deployed around the world in some of the most challenging
environments, allowing network operators to skip amplification
sites, upgrade to faster bit rates, add network components for
improved flexibility, and lengthen the distance between
regenerators.
