Packetlight Networks Overiew - 2018 Full Website Run-Through

Packetlight Networks Overview

Packetlight creates equipment for fiber-optic data transport over dark fiber & WDM networks.

Wait, first - what is WDM?

WDM (Wavelength-division multiplexing) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i.e., colors) of laser light. This technique enables bidirectional communications over one strand of fiber, as well as multiplication of capacity. (Wikipedia)

Packetlight offers a variety of WDM & OTN (optical layer transport) products such as:

100G to 200G Products

Based on 100G/200G DWDM muxponder/transponder/ADM products. These products cover short haul, DCI (data center interconnect), metro, and long haul applications. Among the 100G to 200G products:

1.6T DCI Optical Transport Platform - adjusted for data center interconnect, cloud and colocation providers, and high capacity applications.
200G ADM for Long Haul - perfect for metro and long haul applications.
200G Single Wavelength Muxponder - made for next generation data center interconnect and metro applications.

Sub 100G Products (1G-40G)

Packetlight provides a series of highly flexible CWDM/DWDM/OTN optical networking platforms for data, storage, voice and video transport. The Sub 100G products include:

Universal 1G to 40G Transponder - DWDM/CWDM 622M to 40G 1U transponder which can support up to 8 transponders.
WDM Sub-10G Transponder - a multi protocol optical transport device that supports facility protection in CWDM, DWDM and dark fiber optical networks.
10G DWDM OTN Transponder - used for unified transport of different protocols over common fiber optical network.
