The first product to be launched in the portfolio is an optical channel monitor (OCM), the EON-OMP-2-OCM, which provides network operators with greater visibility and reduces the time to identify the root cause of network problems. The ProLabs OCM not only saves time by improving the visibility of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channel signal characteristics, such as receive power, receive wavelength, and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), but also reduces truck rolls to remote locations to perform physical DWDM channel and signal integrity audits. This device allows engineers to remotely monitor and troubleshoot network issues before dispatching field engineers.
Building on the capabilities of the OCM platform, the EON-OMP-2 platform offers a modular system that can be configured to support a variety of different expansion cards for capabilities including optical amplification (both Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) and Raman variants), 3R OEO OCM, optical switching, muxponders, transponders, and optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) modules, to name a few.
Connectivity with plastic fiber and 60 GHz Wi-Fi
Telefónica has presented a pioneering innovation project in Spain based on plastic optical fiber (POF), a home connectivity solution that is easy to install and guarantees speeds of up to 1Gbps for customers.
