IP OLS

IP applications are reshaping optical networks, driving a shift to designs based on IP principles. This evolution favors shorter point-to-point links with coherent ZR/ZR+ optics in IP-over-DWDM (IPoDWDM) architectures that typically span up to 100km, making simple open line systems (OLS) an ideal fit for streamlining planning and management of the optical layer. Even so, open line systems can be complex to set up and operate, often requiring deep knowledge of optical networking technologies. Our FSP 3000 IP OLS eliminates these challenges, making IPoDWDM interconnects easy to deploy, manage and troubleshoot – even without specialist optical expertise.

The latest addition to the FSP 3000 IP OLS Series is an ultra-compact solution that supports Adtran and third-party ZR coherent interfaces up to 1.6Tbit/s and provides scalability for up to 16 wavelengths. Designed for simple deployment and management, it features an 8-channel mux/demux filter and pre- and booster amplification with fully automated power management, all within a single card that can be housed in an FSP 3000 1RU chassis or other standard FSP 3000 chassis. For ultimate deployment flexibility, multiple chassis options are available, including 300mm depth chassis with side-to-side airflow or 600mm depth chassis with front-to-back airflow, each with either AC or DC power. The FSP 3000 IP OLS also features zero-touch provisioning, automated span equalization and integrated channel and fiber monitoring, reducing operational complexity while ensuring high performance and real-time network visibility.
