PacketLight extended capacity using its alien wavelength solution and adding a 200G single coherent wavelength. Atlantic Metro integrated PacketLight’s PL-2000M flexible muxponder/transponder solution with a built-in optical amplifier and optical switch to provide increased capacity to their network at three different metro locations, with compatibility for 4 x 40GbE and 4 x 10GbE protocols.
“With data consumption increasing exponentially year-over-year, the need for a higher capacity network that supports 200G is a requirement for modern IT infrastructure,” said Koby Reshef, CEO of PacketLight Networks.
“By leveraging our PL-2000M solution, Atlantic Metro was able to provide their customers with the capacity needed to mitigate network congestion, all in a 1U footprint to promote massive OPEX and CAPEX savings.” The company says it provides a 30% decrease in solution costs and double the spectral efficiency.
PacketLight’s vendor-agnostic solution allows a simple upgrade to Atlantic Metro’s existing optical infrastructure layer without the need for a “rip and replace” of DWDM Muxes. The 200G uplink is tunable and covers the entire ITU 50GHz and 100GHz grids, providing Atlantic Metro with a simple way to make necessary adjustments and select the required wavelength. The PL-2000M is equipped with on-board Layer-1 (the physical layer) security, which adds the lowest amount of latency for secure data transfer across a network.
“PacketLight’s solution was the perfect fit for our need to add capacity to our network in a simple and affordable way,” added Stephen Klenert, chief strategy officer & co-founder of Atlantic Metro.
“We were able to implement their equipment with no changes to our existing network architecture and most importantly no impact to existing customer circuits.”
