Long Haul
Xtera’s long-haul product range offers an unprecedented combination of high capacity and reach, along with industry acknowledged excellence in network planning, engineering and deployment.
Our multi-reach, global optical solutions using all-Raman amplification drive significant business benefit for customers. All-Raman amplification results in superior noise performance when compared to EDFA based systems, and provides networking flexibility that can be used to establish longer amplifier spans and longer all-optical transmission paths. For network operators, this means fewer network elements and in many cases, the complete elimination of intermediate regeneration sites.
Xtera’s Nu-Wave CXR system is an all-Raman based DWDM transport platform with the highest combination of capacity and reach in the industry. The Nu-Wave ES is the world’s first scalable all-Raman DWDM system; the amplification bandwidth of the universal amplifier, used at terminals, ROADMs and ILAs, can be increased in service from 25nm to 60nm. The Nu-Wave CXR and ES systems enable the implementation of the next generation agile optical networks through the introduction of the latest technologies: multi-degree nodes, optical protection, tunable lasers, and higher bit-rate (40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s) services.
