Infinera: Fully Integrated Hyperscale Optical Line System
Infinera's GX Hyperscale OLS provides scalability and simple operations by integrating critical functionalities required for an optical layer in just two modules: a 66-degree ROADM (RD66) and the D2ILA. The solution requires no fiber patch cabling other than connecting transceivers to the ROADM ports, significantly simplifying deployment. This approach is future-proof as any channel of any baud rate can be directly connected to the 66-port ROADM no matter the coherent transceiver generation. With just the two modules, the 66-degree ROADM-on-a-blade (RD66) and the dual EDFA amplifier (D2ILA), operators can build an effortless, zero-touch optical layer with a minimum of fiber patching and maximum simplicity, scalability, and performance.
JUDGE'S COMMENT: "Infinera appears to have a winner with its GX Hyperscale Optical Line System."
