Nu-Wave XLR
A compact, cost-effective high performance DWDM system optimized for the upgrade of medium-haul repeatered submarine systems.
Optimized for the upgrade of medium-haul repeatered submarine systems, the Nu-Wave XLR is designed to help service providers respond quickly to upgrade their existing submarine cables by rapidly adding more capacity to existing systems. The Nu-Wave XLR helps to extend the life of repeatered submarine networks by supporting upgrade to 100G.
Leveraging proven technologies from both Xtera’s repeaterless Nu-Wave XLS and the long-haul repeatered NXT solutions, the Nu-Wave XLR is based on the high capacity Nu-Wave XLS repeaterless terminal and offers line monitoring and channel loading capabilities ported from the NXT Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE). Covering distances from approximately 500 km to 3,000 km, the Nu-Wave XLR bridges Xtera’s repeaterless and repeatered submarine product portfolio and completes Xtera’s line of submarine communication solutions.
In its standard configuration, Nu-Wave XLR supports 60 channels at 10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s, or 100 Gbit/s or a mix of various rates. Configurations offering higher capacity or spanning longer distances are also available.
The Nu-Wave XLR is managed by the Nu-Wave EMS/NMS, the Network Management System which provides end-to-end management across the Xtera family of products.
