WaveLite Optical Networking

The Nokia WaveLite optical networking product family provides an enterprise, edge purpose-built solution for DCI and corporate WAN connectivity. Comprising a set of service aggregation and transport components, WaveLite features multiplexing transponders (muxponders) for aggregating a wide range of client services onto higher rate optical lines using commonly available pluggable optical modules.

The family also includes optical amplifier and wavelength multiplexer/de-multiplexer modules. Together, these modules meet the needs of enterprise and service provider networks built to specifically support enterprises. All WaveLite products are compact, have a 1RU-high chassis with low power consumption, and AC or DC powering. Front to back air flow and optical protection switching options are also available. The products are configured through an on-demand, user-friendly, web-based interface.  

WaveLite delivers easy-to-deploy solutions for many enterprise networking use cases, including:

• Service provider network edge service aggregation:  providing a compact, cost-effective, highly flexible solution for delivering service to enterprise users.  
• Enterprise WAN connectivity: enables aggregation and transport of multiple applications or services onto higher rate optical links for connection to various offices, operations, data centers and internet exchanges.  
• Enterprise self-build DCI: lets enterprises, using leased dark fiber, easily construct DCI to enterprise-owned or multi-tenant data centers.
• Enterprise managed DCI with a service provider: allows service providers to build enterprise dedicated connectivity solutions with ease and at low cost.

For these and many other use cases, WaveLite helps enterprises build optical networks with solutions that are efficient, secure, resilient and easy to deploy.
