Communication Service Providers
Keep up with increasing demands for network capacity and break free from vendor lock-in with flexible solutions for metro and regional networking.
A more flexible approach to networking
Consumer broadband consumption is rising steadily. Business customers are deploying new 5G-dependent technologies. Existing regional and metro network capacity can’t keep up. As margins drop, more capacity needs to be delivered at lower cost. This calls for more cost-efficient and flexible ways of building your network.
Break free from vendor lock-in and be flexible with truly open line systems, ROADMs, optics and modular management software. Upgrade to 400G and run low-cost 100G with zero licensing fees. We offer active/passive solutions for back-hauling broadband networks and 5G, enabling an IP over DWDM architecture. Build your metro or regional network more flexibly than ever before, while lowering both CAPEX and OPEX.

Solution Brief
Supercharging your regional and metro network
Mounting pressure to deliver higher capacity at the same cost has carriers looking into 400ZR and 800ZR technology refreshes. But how do you upgrade your optical network to these standards without having to start from scratch? What’s the best way to achieve both optimum performance and cost efficiency for a regional or metro fiber optic network? And how do you avoid vendor lock-in while still effectively managing your ROADMs and other network elements?
Smartoptics offers a wide range of open optical solutions for data centers, communication service providers, and other users of ultra-high speed DWDM connectivity.
“I love the flexibility that the Smartoptics muxponder gives us: I get up to 400G in capacity but I can just run 100G now to bring the cost down. The solution will serve us well for a long time to come, preparing us for whatever new demands the future may hold.”
