What does a Ciena 6500 do?
The 6500 Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) is a compact, simple-to-deploy, photonic layer solution that provides highly dense ROADM and amplifier configurations to improve scalability, reduce footprint, and offer more flexibility and programmability.
What is Ciena Roadm?
To easily adjust to changing traffic demands, the Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) was introduced in the early 2000s. Like its predecessor the OADM, the ROADM allows individual wavelengths to add and drop at a site, with the added benefit of being able to adjust or change the add/drop vs.
What Ciena RLS?
The 6500 Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) is a compact, simple-to-deploy, photonic layer solution that improves scalability, reduces footprint, and offers more flexibility and programmability.
What does a ROADM do?
A reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) is a device that can add, block, pass or redirect modulated infrared (IR) and visible light beams of various wavelengths in a fiber optic network. ROADMs are used in systems that employ wavelength division multiplexing.
What is ROADM degree?
A degree is another term for a switching direction and is generally associated with a transmission fiber pair. A two-degree ROADM switches in two directions, typically called East and West. A four-degree ROADM switches in four directions, typically called North, South, East, and West.
What is the advantage of ROADM?
The main advantages of the ROADM are: The planning of entire bandwidth assignment need not be carried out during initial deployment of a system. The configuration can be done as and when required without affecting traffic already passing the ROADM. ROADM allows for remote configuration and reconfiguration.
What is a 2 degree ROADM?
2-Degree ROADM Node Example A 2-degree ROADM node contains two ROADM elements, with each ROADM element connected to a line (or degree). In contrast, ROADM Element B just consists of a TCX1000-RDM20, so it only has add/drop access to wavelengths on the line that it is attached to.
Do you know about Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical platforms?
Back at work, it made me realize that as popular as Ciena’s 6500 is, perhaps not everyone is acquainted with the entire family of 6500 Packet-Optical Platforms. The 6500 is one of the most recognized and successful packet-optical transport products in the industry.
What can the 6500 do for You?
The 6500 features full instrumentation and embedded intelligence across all layers and is equipped with a full suite of common open APIs to support today’s requirements for open programmability, automated provisioning and streaming telemetry.
What is Ciena Blue Planet MCP?
Additionally, Ciena’s Blue Planet Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) provides end-to-end network and service lifecycle management with which operators can rapidly plan, provision, turn-up and troubleshoot multi-layer services.
