OFC Demo Offers ICPs and CNPs Cost-Optimized Connectivity with Industry-Leading
Reach
Los Angeles, California, USA. March 21, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking and
Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today launched a joint demonstration at the
Optical Fiber Communications Conference & Exhibition that showcases a 100Gbit/s
direct detect solution built on pulse-amplitude modulation 4 (PAM4) technology.
The solution has been specifically designed to help internet content providers
(ICPs) and carrier-neutral providers (CNPs) roll out optimized data center
interconnect (DCI) networks with the lowest cost per bit. Built upon the newly
expanded ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM) and Corning(®) SMF-28(®) ULL optical
fiber, the demonstration reveals how direct detect signals can be transported
over 100km while still meeting stringent optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR)
requirements. By extending the reach of direct detect signals, ICPs and CNPs are
able to use this technology to relieve any DCI bottlenecks and relocate data
centers to more cost-effective locations.
"Our FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM) platform has dramatically changed the DCI market
and created whole new opportunities for ICPs and CNPs to develop the most open
and efficient networks possible," said Stephan Rettenberger, SVP, marketing and
investor relations, ADVA Optical Networking. "Our new direct detect optical
layer is built on PAM4 technology and is the next step in our DCI journey. It
comes at a time when customers want cost-effective alternatives to coherent
solutions. What we're displaying here with Corning is a clear flag to ICPs and
CNPs that they can achieve 100Gbit/s direct detect transmission across 100km at
the lowest cost per bit. What's more, this is achievable right now. Our direct
detect technology is already selling to customers. What we have here is a
benchmark for every other vendor in the industry to aspire to."
"Corning is pleased to be able to collaborate with ADVA Optical Networking and
demonstrate how our ultra-low-loss fiber can deliver value and flexibility to
data center owners," said Dr. Bernhard Deutsch, vice president, product line
management, Optical Fiber and Cable, Corning Optical Communications. "Corning
SMF-28 ULL fiber provides more than 3dB improvement in loss budget over 100km
compared to a link constructed with generic single-mode fiber. This capability
enables a practical DCI link with workable margin to be installed over longer
distances, interconnecting data centers spread over a larger territory. SMF-28
ULL fiber has been extending reach in long-haul networks for 10 years, and we
are delighted to demonstrate the advantages it can deliver in the rapidly
evolving field of DCI."
The demonstration uses ADVA Optical Networking's recently announced direct
detect optical layer, featuring its new SmartAmp(TM) and PAM4 technology. The
key focus of this product is to offer ICPs and CNPs an open and cost-effective
DCI solution that is more affordable than alternative coherent options. The
combination of ITU-T G.652 compliant Corning SMF-28 ULL fiber with the ADVA FSP
3000 CloudConnect(TM) is uniquely capable of extending the reach of PAM4 direct
detect transmission beyond 100km. The ultra-low loss of Corning SMF-28 ULL
fiber, typically <=0.16dB/km at 1550nm, is the lowest attenuation of any
terrestrial optical fiber, helping to deliver enhanced OSNR across much greater
distances than previously achievable. For ICPs and CNPs, ADVA Optical
Networking's unique 100Gbit/s direct detection solution delivers error-free
transmission at lower cost per bit than alternative coherent solutions.
The joint demonstration will be on display at ADVA Optical Networking's booth
(#1709) and Corning's booth (#2711) at OFC 2017 from March 21 to 23.
