ROADM
PacketLight’s PL-1000RO/GRO 4/8/32-degree CDC-F ROADM offers functionality based on advanced next generation wavelength-selective switch (WSS) technology.
The device offers highly flexible wavelength routing capabilities suitable for mesh, ring, linear add/drop, core and edge DWDM network topologies. It supports CDC-F - colorless, directionless, contentionless and a mix of 50GHz grid, 75GHz grid, 100GHz grid or 150Ghz grid wavelength bandwidths over the fiber using Flex Grid. All grid options are user-configurable.
Flexible Design
The device offers highly flexible wavelength routing capabilities suitable for mesh, ring, linear add/drop, core and edge DWDM network topologies. The PL-1000GRO is a CDC-F ROADM, supporting colorless, directionless, contentionless, and a mix of 50GHz grid, 75GHz grid, 100GHz grid or 150Ghz grid wavelength bandwidths over the fiber using Flex Grid.
Powerful Feature Set
The PL-1000RO/GRO simplifies network management and reduces operation costs (OPEX) by allowing fast deployment of new wavelengths remotely. The device fully integrates with PacketLight's transponder/muxponder and OTN product families and is managed from PacketLight LightWatchTM NMS platform.
