Transmode
Systems announces enhanced version of System 1100
Transmode Systems AB, a leading supplier of transmission equipment
for fibre optic networks, today announced from CeBIT in Hanover a new
version of its market-leading CWDM platform, the System 1100. The main
feature of this release is Transmode's new CWDM Amplifier, which extends
the reach of the System 1100 platform to up to 120 km without the need
for repeaters.
Transmode was first to announce successful field trials of amplified CWDM
systems last year. For this product release, the amplifier has been fully
productised as a component of the System 1100 platform and will begin
shipping in Q2 2003.
"We have already had significant interest in this new release as
it allows our Service Provider customers to increase their addressable
market whilst maintaining cost leadership, and our Enterprise customers
to deploy new longer-distance applications", says Michael Crossey,
VP of Marketing at Transmode. "The new CWDM amplifier further enhances
one of the key differentiating features of our solution, that is the inherent
modularity of the platform. This modularity allows customers to adopt
a true pay-as-you-grow approach to network deployment, and to tailor the
system to the most cost-effective configuration possible for their specific
application."
The modularity of System 1100 is realized in two "dimensions":
system capacity and system reach. In the capacity dimension, the system
architecture allows for the lowest-possible "first-in" cost
when deploying the first CWDM channel. Further channels can then be deployed,
one at a time, as capacity requirements increase.
In the reach dimension, Transmode offers PIN-based transponders for short
reach, APD-based transponders for medium reach and amplified CWDM systems
for long reach. The system can be tailored to fit the various link spans
encountered throughout a network as well as the various bandwidth requirements
found on different stretches of the network.
At CeBIT in Hanover and OFC in Atlanta, Transmode Systems and OFS will
continue to demonstrate the benefits that Transmode's CWDM system and
OFS's AllWave fibre brings to WDM networking. At booth these exhibitions,
Transmode's System 1100 will be running live over OFS's AllWave fibre
in the OFS booth.
