Compact WDM Solution for Metro DWDM Networks

Over the past few years, the optical network industry has witnessed the rise of new compact WDM solutions, which have continuously improved their standards for high performance, flexible maintenance and completed automation. Recently, FS has introduced the M6200 series compact WDM solution featured with large capacity, high integration and easy operation, which is regarded as the ideal solution for today’s metro DWDM network. Reading this article to see how this WDM solution redefines your metro DWDM network.

Why Compact WDM Solution Is Important for Metro DWDM Network?

With the development of telecom technology, Internet services are toward a more friendly user experience, higher QoS, and higher bandwidth. Thus placing higher demands on the carrying capacity of the underlying network.

There is limited space in the data center of the convergence and access network and there exist multiple network technologies at the metro edge layer. So the WDM equipment must be much smaller than ever before and be accessed multi-service to load high efficiency. Additionally, there are numerous devices at the metro edge networks which power consumption accounts for a large proportion of the service supplier’s OPEX. Thus the device selection, circuit wiring and heat dissipation must be taken into consideration for the WDM equipment.

So how compact WDM solution redefines the metro DWDM network? Through the latest generation of DSPs, WDM compact modular platforms are featured with lower power consumption, fewer fans, more compact management controllers to deliver a high capacity and high-density data transmission for metro edge networks. Besides, WDM compact modular platforms have adopted a smaller form factor and contained different types of network units in the same chassis, which has raised the bar on operational flexibility while reducing operating costs. This has also led to a dramatic reduction in power consumption, as depicted in the following figure.

How FS M6200 Series Compact WDM Solution Helps to Build Your Metro DWDM Network?

In this age of new service explosion, like 5G and cloud services, increasingly higher bandwidth is needed at the metro network edge. FS released a whole set of M6200 series 10G WDM optical transport platforms, which leverage high integration and fast-paced optical innovation to reach unprecedented levels of scalability, efficiency, and easy operation in your high-capacity connectivity applications. So how do the compact WDM solution help to build your metro DWDM network? Reading more detailed in the descriptions below.
