Prototype Network Utilizes Self-Tuning Transponders to Radically Reduce
Complexity and Cost
Beijing, China. November 3, 2016. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that
China Unicom has conducted a successful field trial of its G.metro (WDM-PON)
technology in an advanced fronthaul network. The wavelength-agnostic prototype
uses a single bidirectional fiber link between head-end and tail-end equipment,
reducing the requirement for wavelength configuration and management. By
leveraging autonomous transponders, this innovative technique dramatically
reduces cost and complexity for metro access network applications, including
mobile fronthaul/backhaul, fixed broadband access and enterprise networks. After
successfully evaluating ADVA Optical Networking's G.metro technology, China
Unicom showcased the device to customers at a laboratory demonstration in
Beijing.
"Due to booming demand for mobile data, it's become essential that we find
innovative ways to increase capacity. Converged metro-access networks are key to
this, but so are reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency.
That's what ADVA Optical Networking's strategy is able to deliver," said
Guangquan Wang, editor, G.metro recommendation and director, network technology
research institute, China Unicom. "With this field trial and lab demo, we've
shown how to achieve these efficiencies and ensure low-latency performance.
During the trial, the prototype was installed in one of our central offices in
Tianjin to replace the transmission link of one of our working LTE stations. The
results showed that the new technology integrated seamlessly with our current
wireless equipment and had no impact on services whatsoever."
The demonstration revealed how this innovative new architecture significantly
increases fiber capacity in access systems. ADVA Optical Networking's prototype
technology, which is defined by the ITU-T G.metro standard, directly distributes
DWDM wavelengths to remote radio units, base stations, desktops or end users.
This enables up to 40 DWDM wavelength channels with a grid of 100GHz. Each
channel is able to transmit data at 10Gbit/s over a 20km fiber distance without
optical amplification. With a centralized wavelength locker at the head-end,
cost and complexity at the tail-end are significantly reduced. This enhanced
efficiency will be crucial for converged metro-access and for 5G networks in the
near future. The prototype also proved to be fully compatible with current
commercial wireless technology, paving the way for imminent real-world
deployment.
"Today's service providers are facing an unprecedented challenge. Keeping pace
with ever-increasing mobile data demand is simply impossible without a
fundamental change to network architecture," commented Michael Eiselt, director,
advanced technology, ADVA Optical Networking. "This successful proof-of-concept
shows that our innovation in G.metro technology is the answer. After five years
of continuous development, we've demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of
the autonomous wavelength tuning concept. We've shown how it works in a live
network to significantly reduce the overall cost of data transport. Now that our
prototype has been trialed successfully with zero errors, G.metro technology has
moved a big step closer to real-world deployment."
