The DZS Saber-4400 optical transport platform is a first-of-its kind environmentally hardened system developed to address the need for high-capacity, long-distance transport in rural areas. The Saber-4400 redefines the economics of transport for rural 10G PON deployments and 5G upgrades by meeting next-generation technology needs today and easily scaling to address increasing capacity demands at the network edge in the future. The Saber-4400 eliminates potential transport failures and can be deployed easily in existing cabinets and other non-traditional locations at a fraction of the cost of alternatives, which DZS estimates equates to $100,000+ savings per location. Its compact, open, modular, fully hardened architecture is capable of operating in -40 °C to +65 °C temperatures, removing the need for temperature control, thereby consuming significantly less space and power than traditional approaches.
Judge’s Comment: “This appears to be an excellent product with technical features and performance that provide clear and substantial benefits...with substantial market impact.”
