Our FSP 3000 Edge OLS is an open line system designed for the new generation of coherent edge access, aggregation and metro networks. Specifically engineered for cost-efficient coherent transmission at the optical edge, it enables operators to address soaring bandwidth demand from mobile, broadband and enterprise applications.

MASSIVE TRAFFIC GROWTH FORCES OPTICAL EDGE TRANSFORMATION
Coherent transport is ramping up at the optical edge
• Operators are introducing
higher-capacity, coherent
transport to optical edge
aggregation networks as a
replacement for 10G direct
detect technology
• High volume of
aggregation nodes
requires cost-optimized
interfaces and optical layer
infrastructure
Need for an edge-optimized coherent transport solution

CORE-BASED TECHNOLOGY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE OPTICAL EDGE
What’s the optimum OLS technology for the optical edge?
Traditional wavelength routing options:
Need for flexible, scalable and future-proof OLS to meet edge networks demands
ROADMs FOADMs
+ Active wavelength routing
+ Flexible, reconfigurable
+ Scalable to any baud rate (flexgrid)
+ Software configuration
− High cost, power and size
+ Low cost
+ Passive components
− Limited scalability (fixed grid)
− Fixed configuration
− On-site, manual configuration
