Solution architecture
The Nokia Ultra-Wideband
Wavelength Routing architecture
provides up to 192 channels
over the C+L bands along
with colorless, directionless,
contentionless, and flexible grid
(CDC-F) functionality. Wavelength
routing improves overall network
flexibility, reduces operational costs
and enables new, more efficient
optical restoration options.
The WDM line system, consisting of the ingress amps (pre-amps) and egress
amps (post-amps) and ILA nodes, is ultra-wideband- (C+L) capable from
the initial deployment. No further changes or updates to the line system
are required in the future, eliminating the operational costs of having to reengineer nodes on the line system when adding additional L-band capacity.
Initially, carriers can simply deploy the C-band units and capacity as needed
at each drop location. When additional L-band capacity is required, only
the L-band drop units (CDC-F modules) and additional optical transponders
need to be added.
Maximize optical transport capacity
Carrier backbone networks are under siege by ever-increasing demands
for high-speed data service, resulting in larger and larger capacity needs
on these fiber networks. Until recently, WDM systems have met the capacity
challenge by increasing the per-wavelength data rate, number of channels
and modulation types. However, these parameters are quickly reaching
the theoretical limits.
Additional capacity can always be added by deploying overlay networks on
additional fiber pairs, but this can be very expensive and highly disruptive to
network operations. In addition, many backbone providers lease their optical
fibers instead of owning the fiber cable, so overlay networks require the
additional cost of another fiber pair, which can be prohibitively expensive
on long-haul routes.
The Nokia Ultra-Wideband Wavelength Routing solution provides double
the capacity of existing systems, while enabling key flexibility and
operational benefits.

Wavelength Routing solution.
