Wirewerks now offers Base-8 products within its NextSTEP 3S Modules line, complementing the previous Base-12 modules. The Base-8 entries include the 3S-Distribution Module, 3S-Patch Module, and 3S-WDM Module. Wirewerks reports demand for these products from both data center network as well as broadband/cable MSO customers as they create a pathway to support of 40/100/400G migration.

Judge’s comment: “The NextSTEP 3S Modules' flexibility allows a network owner to define its own path to future high-speed capabilities. The platform's modular approach ensures this flexibility.”
