Padtec introduced a 1RU DWDM platform with dual transponders supporting up to 400 Gbps per optical channel, or 800 Gbps in total – in short and medium distances. The platform offers SDN management and low energy consumption.
“One of the product’s technical innovations is the use of QSFP-DD pluggable modules in the OpenZR+ standard, a trend that reduces the cost per transmitted bit, with high energy efficiency, in coherent optical systems. In addition, it has functionalities that adapt the rates to the operating conditions of each network, which allows providers to start with 100 Gb/s channels and gradually expand capacity, reaching 400 Gb/s channels”, highlights Roberto Nakamura, Padtec’s Chief Technology Officer.
Carlos Raimar, Padtec’s CEO and Investor Relations Officer, points out that the development of the new solution is in line with the company’s commitment to constantly invest in the evolution of its product line in line with market demands. “With a more affordable cost, the advantages of DWDM are within reach of regional network operators who need to meet their customers’ ever-increasing demands for bandwidth and new services”, says the executive. “This launch reinforces our commitment to providing solutions that, in addition to being innovative and using state-of-the-art technology, support the evolution of our customers’ businesses”, he concludes.
