The new platform – named hiT 7300 coherent 40G transponder – permits upgrading to high-capacity optical networks and was featured at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference in San Diego.
“The increasing uptake in mobile broadband triggered by smart device usage and new Internet-based applications means we are all generating much more data traffic. Existing capacity constraints are leading many operators to consider undertaking the move to 40G”, said Oliver Jahreis, head of product management DWDM at Nokia Siemens Networks.
Jahreis explained that the newly launched transponder is aimed at reducing costs for operators and ensuring faster data services for customers. The Nokia Siemens Networks transponder supports 40G transmission over older fiber as well existing network infrastructure. Moreover, the transponder can be easily integrated into Nokia Siemens Networks’ hiT 7300 dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) platform, which has been deployed for more than 80 customers worldwide.
