Upgrades include deployment of 1FINITY T700 transport blades and L130/ L140 ROADM blades to empower improved performance, efficiency and speeds up to 400G, Fujitsu said in a news statement.

FiberLight designs, builds and deploys mission-critical networks, operating 17,000 miles of fiber networks in more than 30 U.S. metropolitan areas.

Fujitsu enables FiberLight to deliver 400 GbE services over their existing fiber network serving both major and rural markets throughout Texas.

FiberLight is the first network operator in the U.S. to deploy the T700 transport blade in combination with the L130/ L140 Colorless-Directionless-Contentionless (CDC) ROADM solution.

“We continue to invest in one-of-a-kind fiber networks that ignite digital transformation and meet our customers’ growing network demands,” said Jay Anderson, CTO-chief engineer, FiberLight. “Since 2019, FiberLight has relied on the Fujitsu 1FINITY platform to support the speed, performance, and agility of our next-generation transport network.”
