ADVA targets access with its latest pluggable module

• The 25 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) SFP28 is self-tuning and has a reach of 40km
• ADVA’s CEO, Christoph Glingener, in his plenary talk at ECOC 2022 addressed the unpredictable nature of technology adoption.

ADVA has expanded its portfolio of optical modules with an SFP28 for the access market.

The AccessWave25 is a self-tuning dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) pluggable.

The SFP28 is designed to enable communications service providers to straightforwardly upgrade their access networks from 10Gbps to 25Gbps.

ADVA made the announcement just before ECOC 2022.

ADVA Optical Engines adds bidirectional multiplexing

• ADVA expands its multiplexing modules to include the network edge
• The company is developing optical modules as part of a three-pillar business strategy
• ADVA’s merger with ADTRAN is approaching its conclusion

ADVA has expanded its family of multiplexing optical modules with a 40km bidirectional design for access networks.

Until now, ADVA’s three multiplexer optical module products have focussed on IP routing and switching.

The multiplexing modules combine lower-speed optical interfaces into a higher-speed port.

The company unveiled its 4-by-10-gigabit MicroMux Edge BiDi, its first multiplexer module for the network edge, at the OFC show held in March in San Diego.

Ranovus readies its interfaces for deployment

• Products will be deployed in the first half of 2015
• Ranovus has raised US $24 million in a second funding round
• The start-up is a co-founder of the OpenOptics MSA; Oracle is now also an MSA member.

Ranovus says its interconnect products will be deployed in the first half of 2015. The start-up, which is developing WDM-based interfaces for use in and between data centres, has raised US $24 million in a second stage funding round. The company first raised $11 million in September 2013.

Saeid Aramideh"There is a lot of excitement around technologies being developed for the data centre," says Saeid Aramideh, a Ranovus co-founder and chief marketing and sales officer. He highlights such technologies as switch ICs, software-defined networking (SDN), and components that deliver cost savings and power-consumption reductions. "Definitely, there is a lot of money available if you have the right team and value proposition," says Aramideh. "Not just in Silicon Valley is there interest, but in Canada and the EU."

Ranovus developing DWDM links for the data centre

Ranovus has raised US $11 million in funding to develop Terabit capacity links for the data centre. The Ottawa-based start-up plans to use dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) technology to create huge data pipes that reduce significantly the power consumption, and cost, per bit.
