At ECOC24, Fujitsu launched Virtuora OLS-Designer, an intelligent tool designed to optimize the planning and design of open optical line systems (OLS). Using machine learning (ML) to create digital twin models from real-time network data, Virtuora OLS-Designer simplifies and speeds up the process of designing and testing multivendor optical networks. This tool addresses the challenges of disaggregated optical infrastructure, where components from various vendors need to work together seamlessly, reducing costs and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Virtuora OLS-Designer, available in early 2025 as part of the Virtuora PD suite, enables more efficient network planning by assessing transponder reachability and recommending optimal modulation formats and data rates for peak performance. The tool’s digital twin models reflect real-time conditions and configurations, allowing service providers to maximize network capacity while reducing operational expenses by eliminating manual field measurements. ML continuously improves the accuracy of these models, ensuring that OLS network designs remain optimized for real-world scenarios.
This technology helps service providers streamline operations and accelerate service delivery, ultimately maximizing the capacity and efficiency of their networks. Fujitsu’s long history of expertise in open networking positions Virtuora OLS-Designer as a key solution for modern optical line systems.
