TECHNOLOGY

For optical communication lines, at the moment, DWDM is the most common and cheapest technology - dense spectral multiplexing technology. This technology allows organizing the independent transmission of a large number of high-speed data streams over one pair of optical fibers.

DWDM technology is an extension of the optical network. DWDM devices combine data from multiple optical transmitters for transmission over a single optical fiber. At the receiving end, a DWDM demultiplexer splits the combined optical signals and passes each channel to an optical receiver. Only one optical fiber is used between DWDM devices. DWDM-based networks can carry data over IP, ATM, SONET, SDH, and Ethernet.

CHALLENGES

The rapid growth of cloud services, the introduction of 5G networks, the active development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and virtual reality (VR) require a huge bandwidth of optical channels in transport networks. The largest data center providers continue to build infrastructure capacities with high technological standards to increase the level of service.

Digitalization of manufactory, safe and smart city projects lead to an increase in the number of data centers. The task is to quickly organize high-speed channels and ensure high reliability between the main and backup data centers. It is easier to use an existing cable infrastructure than to make a new backbone optical cable. At the same time, the question arises of choosing a solution and a manufacturer of channel-forming DWDM equipment that meets the basic requirements:

  • scalability
  • reliability
  • high throughput and low latency
  • short project implementation time from design to finished solution
  • low price

ADVANTAGE

When designing data transmission networks, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of further expansion of bandwidth. As an example, to transmit twenty 10G channels over gray fiber, with a total capacity of 200Gbps, 20 fibers would be required, when the DWDM network allows this to be realized on one fiber using channel multiplexing.

Independent transmission over one or a pair of fibers of any client services such as 1GE, 10GE, 100GE, 8FC, 16FC, 32FC, SDH

Amplification of the EDFA signal without conversion to electrical form

Distances from a few meters to tens and hundreds of kilometers

Dispersion compensation for 10G and high dispersion immunity for 100G coherent systems

Easy upgrade from 10G to 100G or more without rebuilding the network (optical cable, amplifiers, multiplexers, compensators - no need to change)

1+1 link redundancy (1 or 2 fiber) with protection switching less than 50ms

Various node connection topologies: point-to-point, chain, ring

  • Remote-end points and users

Corporate networks must constantly support business processes and therefore this class of equipment is intended for more demanding customers, where the stability and reliability of equipment plays an important role. Key advantage of the technology: Full 1+1 redundancy and additional line redundancy. With redundancy, when a cable breaks, traffic in one of the systems disappears in less than 50 ms.

HISTORY

The company was founded in 2013, and until 2020, work was carried out with Internet providers. 2020 saw high growth in GPON networks and almost two years of work has been focused on this area.
After 2022, the world has changed and many international companies, including large system integrators, have left. We are trying to replace their positions in the corporate and government markets. In 2022, we grew 1.5 times and this year we will grow the same amount.
The main reason for the growth was working with large companies in Russia. Last year we reached revenue of 6.5 million. This year we will reach 10 million US dollars. The market of active DWDM projects rises fast at the moment and we expect many projects in this field next year.

Case 4

task: to organize the transmission of a coherent 200G channel between Data Center1 (Rostov-on-Don) and Data Center2 (Moscow)

decision:
To solve this task, you will need such active equipment as:
-Newnets NS-DWDM-OP01-DCI-AC DCI transport platform, acts as a chassis for service cards and the main control node of the system.
-NSD3 muxponder, has two QSFP28 ports, ten SFP+ and one CFP2 interfaces, the muxponder allows flexible formation of a coherent 200G channel

with the OSNR requirement of 18dB and 20dB respectively. In this case, we had to resort to CFP2 400G modules, which support 200G operation mode with QPSK modulation format with

INNOVATION OF THE PROJECT

Over the past years, the problems of increasing the throughput of channels were solved by using gray fibers, so in order to increase the speed, you need to take a free pair of fibers or build a new cable.

When there are no free fibers, the only way to grow is to use DWDM. Some customers do not have the qualifications to properly select a DWDM solution and often do not have the funds to purchase expensive backbone equipment. Our competencies and equipment allow us to solve such projects in a short time and on a small budget.
