CoreOptics and ADVA Optical Networking partner to enable plug-and-play metro optical networks based on MLSE-2

CoreOptics Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of 40Gbit/s and 10Gbit/s optical networking subsystems, and ADVA Optical Networking today announced joint development of the second generation of 10Gbit/s Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE-2) technology on ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 3000 Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) platform.

“The joint work with CoreOptics has resulted in an innovative optical module based on MLSE-2 and ADVA Optical Networking’s transmitter technology,” commented Dr. Christoph Glingener, chief technology officer at ADVA Optical Networking. “It will enable transport of 10Gbit/s signals on much longer uncompensated links to further maximize the benefits of ROADM-based installed networks. In addition to significant CAPEX/OPEX savings, the results of our partnership with CoreOptics enable service providers to simplify their architecture with high-performance, low-cost plug-and-play metro optical networks.”

CoreOptics has established market leadership in providing highly advanced equalization solutions based on electronic signal processing at 10Gbit/s, while providing a complete set of 40Gbit/s transponder modules. The company’s innovative technology is “field-proven” and is in deployment with top-tier service providers globally.

“ADVA Optical Networking has been in the forefront of delivering optical and Ethernet innovation to advance the transformation to packet-oriented optical networking and increase the efficiency of existing network infrastructure,” said Hamid Arabzadeh, chairman of the board, president and CEO of CoreOptics. “ADVA’s disruptive next-generation metro WDM platform, now based on MLSE-2, will enable service providers to benefit from more capacity, higher speeds, longer reach and a greater utilization of their optical networks, while achieving a much faster service activation time for end users.”

CoreOptics currently offers 10Gbit/s DWDM, 40Gbit/s Single Channel Short Reach and 40/43G DWDM transponder modules. The company’s product portfolio also includes 40G Serializer/De-serializer IC’s, 43Gbit/s Ultra-FEC, 40G Mux/DeMux for 4x10G client signals and Interface Converter supporting SFI-5s, SFI-4, XFI to enable building of next-generation open tolerant networks.
