Optelian—a designer and manufacturer of optical transport systems—announced the availability of two new system cards—RDM-2x1 and OCM-40—for ROADM and network monitoring applications. The capabilities enabled by Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexing (ROADM), says Optelian, allow operators to realize operational savings when reconfiguring optical channels at remote locations. Rather than sending technicians to a site, provisioning is done easily and quickly at the operations centre. The RDM-2x1 features include unrestricted add/drop of 40 channels at 100 GHz spacing, remote per-channel power equalization with > 15 dB dynamic range; optical specs allow cascading of RDMs for all-optical transmission >1000 km. Optical channel monitors (OCMs) that continuously monitor and report the optical power levels of all 40, 100 GHz spaced DWDM channels are useful for remote performance monitoring, fault localization, and optical power balancing.
