ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ \u2013 March 19, 2015 – At OFC2015 OE Solutions will showcase CSC LambdaRich\u2122 transceivers, single fiber bi-directional CWDM transceivers, which enable an 18-fold increase in single-fiber capacity over grey-optics bi-directional solutions. The new transceivers are backwards compatible with existing CWDM two-fiber deployments, while doubling cable capacity. CSC LambdaRich\u2122 transceivers are available with several data rates and various reaches, and operate over the entire industrial temperature range.<\/p>\n
Bi-directional transceivers are critical for many applications where the fiber count is limited, often because of the high cost of installing additional fibers. The most prominent application for bi-directional transceivers is mobile fronthaul, where leveraging the available fibers more efficiently is a must. The CSC LambdaRich\u2122 transceivers are cost-effective, easy-to-implement solutions for rapidly increasing the bandwidth delivered to the radios at the top of cell towers. Similarly, LambdaRich\u2122 offers cost-effective capacity relief in other CWDM and grey-optics applications.<\/p>\n
The LambdaRich\u2122 transceivers enable bi-directional transmission using two sub-bands within the conventional 20-nm CWDM bands. For this purpose, OE Solutions developed a unique technology referred to as CSC (Cooled Single Channel), which allows more-tightly controlled laser wavelengths in packages required for mobile fronthaul, business Ethernet, and other cost sensitive applications. <\/p>\n
\u201cCSC LambdaRich\u2122 transceivers solve the urgent challenge of rapidly increasing mobile bandwidth capacity demands in a very elegant way as also evidenced by the high score it received at the Lightwave Innovation Awards,\u201d said Per Hansen, vice president of marketing and sales at OE Solutions. \u201c With this new solution, operators can add bandwidth quickly in a cost-effective way, without having to reconfigure the cabling of the towers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIncreasing fiber capacity at a lower cost in mobile networks is a high priority for the industry, and nowhere more so than at the edge in fronthaul and backhaul applications,\u201d stated Andrew Schmitt, principal analyst at Infonetics Research \u201cThe CSC LambdaRich\u2122 transceiver from OE Solutions is an innovative solution that will offer higher transmission bandwidth on the existing fiber.\u201d<\/p>\n
CSC LambdaRich\u2122 transceivers with 2.5 G and 3 G data rates are shipping in volume for deployment, and models with 5 G and 6 G data rates are sampling now.<\/p>\n
Attendees at OFC 2015 taking place in Los Angeles Convention Center will have an opportunity to see a live demonstration of the CSC LambdaRich\u2122 Transceivers with 5 G and 6 G data rates at Booth #1655 during March 24 \u2013 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
