OpVista (www.opvista.com) provides optical networking products to worldwide telecommunications and cable operators for the industry’s highest-capacity backbone transport networks. At NXTComm 2008, OpVista is introducing its Dense Multi-Carrier technology, which provides provide industry-leading bandwidth expansion capabilities over existing fiber infrastructure, eliminating the need for expensive network redesign and allowing service providers to offer new services cost-effectively.
Dense Multi-Carrier (DMC) technology, the basis of the new OpVista CX8 optical networking system, delivers 40G and 100G bandwidth over existing 10G engineered networks in metro/regional, long-haul and ultra long-haul environments. DMC technology combines advanced multiple carrier photonics with multi-level modulation to deliver 40G and 100G bandwidth per wavelength, while maintaining compatibility with the characteristics of today’s 10G optical infrastructure. DMC ‘s vastly superior tolerance to the typical impairments inherent in optical networks allows much higher bandwidth to be delivered per wavelength along with much higher wavelengths per fiber, contributing to industry-leading 8 Tb/s fiber capacity – enough to support one million simultaneous HD video streams on a single fiber.
As the vast majority of the world’s optical networks run at 2.5Gbs and 10Gbs, OpVista’s DMC technology gives service providers the capacity they need for to meet the crushing demand for new bandwidth-intensive services without the CAPEX and OPEX associated with re-building their installed infrastructure. Accordingly, OpVista helps service providers break the traditional cycle of continued capital investment required to enable new revenue-generating services.
