Nortel Wavelength Division Multiplexer

Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) Portfolio

Overview

Nortel's Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) Portfolio combines multiple streams of information (wavelengths) for transmission across a single physical connection. A WDM infrastructure is ideal in situations where fiber is expensive, for applications requiring large amounts of bandwidth, or when storage or flexible service rate transport is required. With Nortel's leadership in WDM networks, Nortel is uniquely qualified to design, deliver, and implement efficient and resilient WDM solutions.

Portfolio Products

Common Photonic Layer

The Common Photonic Layer (CPL) is the key building block in transforming the network towards Adaptive, All Optical Intelligent networking. It leverages years of proven expertise in developing and building Metro, Regional and Long Haul Optical Networks, and offers a completely disruptive approach for simplification of the photonic layer by separating the Service Network Elements (NEs) from the Optical Line. CPL supports enhanced ROADM (eROADM) capabilities, allowing unrestricted add/drop and redirection of any wavelength at any port, enabling on-the-fly wavelength insertion/termination and addition of new optical paths (branches) without re-engineering or service interruption.

Optical Long Haul 1600

The Optical Long Haul 1600 incorporates a modular optical amplifier design with the MOR Plus and Optical 1600G amplifiers.

Optical Metro 5000 Series

The Nortel Optical Metro 5000 Series harnesses the power of WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) to transparently deliver high bandwidth network services across an open, scalable and survivable optical transport platform.

Optical Metro 5100

The Optical Metro 5100 is a compact Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) platform that is designed to cost effectively extend optical broadband services to the network edge.

Optical Metro 5200

The Optical Metro 5200 is a forecast-tolerant, DWDM data-optimized, survivable platform for metropolitan access and interoffice applications.

Optical Modeler

Optical Modeler is the link engineering tool supporting design and implementation of Nortel’s Common Photonic Layer (CPL) networks. It is intended for Nortel customers as well as Sales and Engineering teams who would like to evaluate different CPL deployment scenarios while facilitating ordering process and project documentation.

Optical Multiservice Edge 6500

The Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 (OME 6500) is a metro core optical platform that efficiently manages and transports converged TDM, data, and wavelength services. OME 6500’s wide array of services, fully non-blocking 80G VC12 switch matrix, scalable L2 service switch with extensive Quality of Service (QoS) support, and electronic Dynamically Compensating Optics (eDCO) that support multi-span links of over 2,000 kilometers without in-line dispersion compensation equipment are some of the key attributes that allow service providers a smooth migration to a reliable and scalable Ethernet infrastructure while maintaining minimal infrastructure costs.

Optical Planner

Optical Planner is easy-to-use capacity planning software for optical networks.
