Submarine
Xtera provides terminal equipment for both unrepeatered and repeatered submarine cable installations.
Xtera offers extensive expertise and full turn-key solutions for the
non-disruptive upgrade of existing infrastructure. In addition, we
offer new-build solutions through extensive partnerships with
established providers of repeaters, cable and marine services.
The Nu-Wave XLS uses Raman amplification to bridge spans of over 400 km on unrepeatered systems and can be seamlessly deployed while preserving existing wet plant, such as ROPAs (Remote Optically Pumped Amplifiers). The NXT offers high capacities on long-span systems with repeaters, again without requiring changes to the existing equipment.
The Nu-Wave XLS maximizes the benefits of all-Raman amplification by
integrating distributed Raman and discrete or lumped Raman
amplification, and has been used to deploy the longest reach
high-capacity unrepeatered system in the world. Service providers
seeking to support low capacity services with a smooth evolution
towards hundreds of gigabits will benefit from the modular scalability
of the XT system.
