From 100g pluggable DWDM to 800g and beyond

What was once state of the art data rates for optical links between data centers and in metro networks is now superseded by the even higher rates of 400G and 800G DWDM.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.

An accelerating interest in cloud computing, video streaming and data-replication between sites drives the need for more bandwidth in corporate data centers and networks. In a similar way, growing media consumption and consumer demands for a richer internet experience requires increased broadband communications capacity in service provider networks.

As a result, enterprises and service providers around the globe are realizing the need to up their connectivity solutions to 800G. And when taking this step, they are all on the lookout for efficient, yet financially viable, solutions that meet the requirements of both today and tomorrow.
