Transmode is showing its System 1100 CWDM platform's new CWDM amplifier, which extends reach to 120km without repeaters. This allows an increase in the addressable market for service providers and longer-reach deployments for enterprise customers.
The amplifier further enhances the platform's modularity, which allows a "pay-as-you-grow" approach to network deployment and tailoring to the most cost-effective configuration.
The architecture allows the lowest-possible "first-in" cost when deploying the first CWDM channel. Further channels can be deployed one at a time.
Transmode will demonstrate how its CWDM system, together with OFS's AllWave fibre, can be used cost effectively in an enterprise environment.

The ST200 combines features required to deliver high-value IP services, including: high-capacity routing and switching; rich bandwidth management functionality; and high-density, multi-service ports.
In the EANTC booth at the Networking Information Centre (NIC), an ST200 will be deployed as part of a vendor-neutral technology showcase.

MRV Communications/Optical Access' OptiSwitch-Z is a range of open, modular Layer 2/3/4 switch/routers offering Gigabit Ethernet and integrated IP services.
Three chassis styles offer different port densities and bandwidths. All ports are non-blocking, and each chassis can take up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards. The 100Mbit/s plug-in cards provide up to 32 ports, allowing up to 504 Fast Ethernet ports.
Any OptiSwitch-Z can be configured so that each component is redundant, giving total operational reliability.

- The 7200 OADX (Optical Add/Drop Switch) is an integrated wavelength switch and transmission system for the metro core. It enables transparent wavelength services and adding capacity to exhausted WDM networks. It also offers integration between the access and core, enabling provisioning of end-to-end wavelengths. In-coming wavelengths can be switched to any out-going wavelengths.
- The 3300 Optical Services Unit (OSU) is a WDM access product for providing wavelength services across a network. It has a low start-up cost, a pay-as-you-grow model, compatibility with existing equipment and infrastructure, and support for client interfaces from 100Mbit/s to 10Gbit/s.
