The ONE portfolio also doubles capacity for service
providers with up to 88 wavelengths of 10 gigabit per second (Gbps) and allows
for future upgrade to 100Gbps networking and services.
Ron Kline, principal analyst, Network Infrastructure,
Ovum said the new four-degree, grid-less ROADM for ADTRAN’s ONE converged
packet optical product supports both 100GHz and 50GHz designs, extending ONE’s
network role to support metro mesh-centric and middle-mile applications.
The new features allow service providers to rapidly
respond to customer requirements in dynamic markets like residential broadband,
carrier Ethernet and 4G backhaul.
The ROADM technology gives operators a bridge between
edge and core networks and provides the flexibility to evolve channel plans
over time as higher speed wavelengths are deployed in the metro.
Mano Nachum, packet optical networking product line
manager, ADTRAN’s Carrier Networks Division, said the enhanced ONE capabilities
allow service providers to take full advantage of the benefits of agile
photonics in response to the ever growing traffic and capacity demands on their
metro, middle-mile and access edge networks.
