Fujitsu Positions FLASHWAVE 7500 for Telecom and Cable Networks

Fujitsu Network Communications announced the commercial release of its all-optical FLASHWAVE 7500 metro DWDM system designed for both telecom carriers and MSOs. The FLASHWAVE 7500 features multi-rate line cards with tunable narrowband optics. Integrated muxponders provide multiplexing of sub-rate signals such as OC-48 (4:1) or Gigabit Ethernet (8:1) into digitally wrapped 10 Gbps wavelengths. Direct wavelength interconnection with DWDM transmitters on the FLASHWAVE 4500 platform allows direct access to the switching core to open up a wide variety of new service interfaces from DS1 to DVB-ASI and eliminate the need for transponders. The FLASHWAVE 7500 platform supports networks with up to 10 nodes across 400 km and 40 C-band wavelengths. Any channel can be added/dropped at any node without stranding bandwidth. The FLASHWAVE 7500 platform is supported by the same Fujitsu NETSMART 1500 graphical Element Management System (EMS) that manages all Fujitsu access, metro and long haul products.
