Long Haul

Opnext 10 Gbps Long Haul Technology

40 Gbps Network Deployment

Globally Network Operators and Communications Service Providers have been announcing deployment of 40Gbps systems.  Most of the commercial deployment of 40Gbps thus far has been concentrated in North America, but the virtual explosion in IP network traffic is driving upgrades to IP network infrastructure worldwide. 

Opnext 40 Gbps Network Technology

Opnext’s acquisition of StrataLight communications strengthened our broad 40Gbps technology portfolio.  Opnext offers PSBT & DPSK 40Gbps DWDM products to meet our customers’ needs. 

Our 40 Gbps signal can be retrofitted into existing 10 Gbps DWDM optical channels, enabling Multi-Haul (simultaneous 10Gbps and 40Gbps on the same fiber) without the need for special 40 Gbps sub-bands. This compatibility with existing fiber types and 10 Gbps transport line systems effectively quadruples the capacity remaining on the original 10 Gbps DWDM span, and significantly delays fiber exhaust and the expenditure involved with lighting incremental fiber.

Opnext is Leading the Path to 100 Gbps

From technology demonstrations of client side optics at OFC’08 to Carrier trials of 100G DWDM equipment, Opnext technology will be at the heart of 100Gbps network deployment.
