Nokia selects VIAVI to validate performance of coherent optical modules
Summary
Communications service providers (CSPs) are striving to gain more efficiencies from their transport networks as they deploy faster technologies at the edge including 5G, Gigabit-to-the-Home and hyperscale. This means increased overall network capacity with less hardware to deploy and manage, reduced energy consumption, and lower cost per bit transported. The 800G FLEX DCO Module augments the VIAVI ONT optical network test platform, and provides a wide range of critical test and measurement capabilities that manufacturers need to design and validate pluggable digital coherent optical modules. Native support for both 400G class CFP2 DCO and QSFP-DD 400ZR modules is backed by a solid power and thermal cooling environment. They are involved in the technology lifecycle from standards development through field deployment, and therefore have a strong foundation on which to build robust test and measurement platforms.” “We are honoured to work with industry leaders such as Nokia, allowing us to anticipate and respond to network technology evolution,” added Tom Fawcett, Vice President and General Manager, Lab and Production Business Unit, VIAVI.
