Spectral Efficiency and Optical Multi-Vendor Interoperability
Munich, Germany. June 25, 2015. ADVA Optical Networking announced today its
successful participation in T-Systems' advanced Terabit Demonstrator project.
The project is focused on showcasing the transportation of terabit applications
over a distance in excess of 1,000km. ADVA Optical Networking's technology is a
key component of this project and its 100Gbit/s coherent capabilities meet the
extremely high data rates and stringent quality of service demanded by such
data-intensive applications. What's more, ADVA Optical Networking used the
Terabit Demonstrator to showcase its latest 33GHz ultra-narrow channel spacing
technology. This is a major breakthrough for 100Gbit/s coherent products.
"The Terabit Demonstrator isn't simply about showcasing the future of our
networks. It's about collaboration. It's about harnessing our strengths to see
what's truly possible," said Eduard Beier, head, Terabit Demonstrator, T-
Systems. "That's what's so special about the team at ADVA Optical Networking and
their technology. They've developed an open optical networking solution that is
so different to others on the market. This is especially true when you consider
its transparency. It interoperates with other vendors' equipment in such a
unique way. This is a key advantage in today's heterogeneous network
infrastructures and especially in our testbed. ADVA Optical Networking was able
to interoperate with a broad range of other vendors' technology without any need
for special conversions."
The Terabit Demonstrator stretches over 1,000km of fiber, connecting high-
performance computing centers in Dresden and Stuttgart, using T-Labs' SASER
optical testbed. The demonstration's sheer capacity is matched by its incredible
flexibility. T-Systems is using software-defined networking and virtualized
network functions to show how programmability can be used in advanced networks.
Such programmability is a major focus of the project in 2015. ADVA Optical
Networking's transmission technology is the foundation here and its multi-vendor
interoperability is a critical component. ADVA Optical Networking has
specifically engineered its products to work transparently across other vendors'
equipment without the need for any electronic conversion processing - something
very few manufacturers are capable of. The implications of the Terabit
Demonstrator, especially for research and education networks, are enormous and
it outlines an exciting migration path ahead.
"What T-Systems has created with the Terabit Demonstrator is a beacon for the
industry. It's a showcase that clearly highlights how we can migrate to a new
era of networking," commented Stephan Neidlinger, vice president, strategic
alliance management, ADVA Optical Networking. "The technological advancements on
display here are enormous. Our products are just one example. We've pushed our
100Gbit/s coherent technology to a channel spacing that is 33% tighter than
today's current standard. This means that we're increasing the capacity of
existing fiber networks by 50%. Such a leap in spectral efficiency is no small
task and the implications are significant. Our global engineering team has
worked extensively with T-Systems to develop this breakthrough and to
successfully deploy it in this terabit network."
"The future is defined in these experiments. It's these testbeds that offer a
real glimpse into what possibilities lie ahead," noted Dr. Ralf-Peter Braun,
head, SASER-Q3 project. "The Terabit Demonstrator incorporates much of the
optical infrastructure of the SASER project. A project in itself aimed at
developing secure transport networks for future generations. Partly funded by
Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the SASER project uses a
multi-vendor approach and this further underlines why ADVA Optical Networking's
technology is so important. Its optical layer interoperability is vital,
especially with the project's varied and changing cast of third-party optical
transport systems. There's simply no other technology that can interoperate
without any need for electronic conversion. This truly sets the multi-vendor
approach including ADVA Optical Networking apart."
