Network management and planning

SoSmart software suite

Introducing SoSmart—a management suite designed to support Smartoptics products within an open, multi-layer, and multi-vendor environment. At Smartoptics, openness is at the heart of what we do. SoSmart brings this value to life by offering a management software suite as open as the optical network elements we design.

From 100g to 800g and beyond

Upgrade your network to smart 800G connectivity

What was once state of the art data rates for optical links between data centers and in metro networks is now superseded by the even higher rates of 400G and 800G DWDM. The new standards can bring you four and eight times the capacity of 100G links, which however still may be the most economical rate to choose on less loaded routes.

Smartoptics offers a wide range of open optical solutions for data centers, communication service providers, and other users of ultra-high speed DWDM connectivity.
