Axonlink, a start-up based in Red Bank, New Jersey with R&D in Kfar-Saba, Israel, unveiled its Agile Wave Division Multiplexing (AWDM) demonstration system. Axonlink’s AWDM transceiver features full transmit and receive tunability using off-the-shelf optical components. The company said its technology enables easier amplification than CWDM and DWDM, as low as 12.5Ghz wavelength spacing and simple fiber interface using colorless splitters. Potential uses include wavelength services, fiber relief and fiber to the building (FTTB) access and metro applications.
