Transmode chooses coherent for 100 Gigabit metro

Transmode has detailed its 100 Gigabit metro strategy based on a stackable rack, a concept borrowed from the datacom world.
The Swedish system vendor has adopted coherent detection technology for 100 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) optical transmission, unlike other recent metro announcements from ADVA Optical Networking and MultiPhy based on 100Gbps direct-detection.
"Metro is a little bit diverse. You see different requirements that you have to adapt to."
