Double network capacity with maximum performance

Take on your challenges with wavelength routing

Our wavelength routing solutions help you maximize network capacity and performance to support exponential traffic growth and new services.

Improve reliability

Ensure that your network can survive multiple failures.

Automate your network

Adapt to dynamic traffic patterns, improve service velocity and simplify network resources.

Boost efficiency

Minimize total cost of ownership (TCO) by improving network utilization and reducing footprint and power consumption.

Technologies that help you get more from your network

Compact designs that reduce equipment footprint and power consumption

Simple

Integrated ROADMs (iROADMs) simplify deployment, increase performance density and reduce power consumption by supporting one degree per card.

Modular

Modular data center environment platforms such as 1830 Photonic Service Interconnect – Line (PSI-L) provide photonic (open) line systems with open interfaces.

Scalable

Disaggregated 1830 ONE micro ROADM offers pay-as-you-grow scalability and simplified operations for metro access.

Wavelength networking solutions that increase network capacity

Expandable

Ultra-wideband C- plus L-band (C+L) technology doubles fiber capacity.

Agile

Advanced ROADM solutions based on Colorless-Flexgrid (C-F) and Colorless Directionless Contentionless - Flexgrid (CDC-F) technologies optimize scale and agility.

Optimized

Nokia Photonic Service Engine (PSE) programmable coherent multi-modulation DSP optimizes wavelength performance over any route.

Advanced optical network control and open interfaces that fuel innovation

Resilient

Multilayer GMPLS-based protection and restoration options increase reliability and efficiency.

Streamlined

Flexible management options reduce OPEX and simplify data center operations.

Orchestrated

Nokia Network Services Platform lets you use SDN to control your network.

Our advanced wavelength routing solutions let you meet growing, dynamic bandwidth demands while optimizing OPEX and reducing CAPEX. Coupled with advanced coherent DSP technology and network control options, our solutions will help you maximize network utilization and resilience and simplify your operations.

Maximize capacity

Recover up to 70 percent more network capacity and support higher capacity overall with CDC-F ROADMs.

Leverage your core

Double fiber capacity by deploying C+L-band capability on up to 192 channels with no changes or upgrades to core ROADM or ILA nodes.

Increase performance

Simplify deployment, increase performance density and reduce power consumption with iROADMs.

Improve efficiency

Improve network efficiency and reliability by supporting restoration-based services.

Enable programmability and automation

Optimize network operations and improve service velocity by combining advanced CDC-F ROADMs with programmable, Nokia PSE-enabled DDWDM systems, open APIs and streaming telemetry agents, and multilayer GMPLS and/or SDN control.

Maximize network reliability

Re-route and restore traffic around network faults without the 50 percent capacity penalty imposed by dedicated 1+1 protection methods using advanced GMPLS and/or SDN optical layer restoration software that operates over CDC-F ROADMs.
