NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading technology provider of IT,
network and identity management solutions, announced today the North
American availability of its SpectralWave™
MW0500-series, a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) service
delivery platform for metropolitan access and cable networks. All
configurations of the MW-0500-series provide an economical, eco-friendly
and easy-to-deploy solution for a wide variety of managed wavelength
service delivery needs, including: storage-area networking, fiber
channel relief, IP offloading and high-speed optical Ethernet transport.
NEC’s MW0500-series has been successfully
deployed in carrier and cable networks around the world. Leveraging this
global success, NEC has brought the MW0500-series to North America to
meet operator demand for low cost transport systems that could deliver
existing services without much added expense, and also provide
transparent integration across metro-access, metro-core and long-haul
networks.
Delivering extra bandwidth at a fraction of traditional optical platform
cost, the MW0500-series is a strong complement to NEC’s
“Generation Free™”
Networking suite of optical networking solutions that allow operators
the ability to integrate new optical elements to dynamically “right-size”
their networks. In North America, NEC will target metro access networks
where the demand for low-cost alternatives to add capacity is needed in
order to overcome bottlenecks that exist beyond the last mile. NEC will
also focus on the cable and smaller distribution access networks serving
small businesses and larger residential applications, such as the
delivery of Video on Demand and Fiber to the Curb.
“We anticipate significant growth for the
MW0500-series,” said Rocky Kler, vice
president and general manager, Optical Network Systems Division, NEC
Corporation of America. “We believe our
MW0500-series will be well-received by operators as it
provides flexibility and cost points especially in the Ethernet and 10G
segment."
The NEC MW0500-series is compact, can transmit up to four bi-directional
wavelengths over a single fiber core and is available in two system
offerings:
SpectralWave MW0521 is a 19-inch rack-mountable 1RU system for
point-to-point applications. It can be equipped for transmission of up
to four 2.5G lambdas or two 10G lambdas. Available transponders
include single-channel OC-48/STM-16, two-channel GbE muxponder,
single-channel OC 192/STM-64, single-channel 10GbE, and a Free-Rate
transponder. The Free-Rate transponder supports lower SONET
(Synchronous Optical Network) / SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)
rates and Fiber Channel. Transponders can operate independently over
separate fibers, or in conjunction with an integrated CWDM filter
module to provide bidirectional, single-fiber transmission.
SpectralWave MW0522 utilizes the same transponder set and CWDM filter
modules as the MW0521, but provides twice the capacity (40G) in a 2U
rack space. In addition, MW0522 can operate in point-to-point, linear
OADM (Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer), or OADM ring configuration to
provide maximum deployment flexibility.
Key operator benefits include reduced operating costs with a 1U / 2U
type offering, which provides optics savings from lower power
consumption and reduced space requirements. In addition, with support
for bi-directional transmission, NEC reduces operator leased fiber
costs. Other benefits include the system’s
support of Ethernet network applications, where it delivers enhanced
bandwidth by transmitting Gbit / 10Gbit Ethernet transparently.
