100G Metro Access Muxponder Rack Module

MICROSENS is leading the industry with a true coherent 100G access unit to address the increasing bandwidth demand seen in today’s metro and access markets. The growth in the number of data centers located in metro networks combined with the growth of high speed Ethernet business services is causing unprecedented demand for access capacity and putting pressure on metro networks to deliver. While non-coherent based optics may deliver attractive price points, the market has shown a clear preference for coherent transport because it delivers four times the spectral efficiency and superior transport performance.

MICROSENS designed 100G Metro Access specifically for the access market so they deliver maximum performance at low cost for higher and faster ROI. The modules all use pluggable client optics for easy interconnection to customer equipment and tunable line optics supporting all 88 DWDM channels so they can carry up to 8.8 Tbps on a single fiber without compromising performance. The modules are very compact delivering 2x100G units in only 2RU and highly power efficient at just over 1W per gigabit of transport bandwidth. Combining this with ease of operation, unmatched price points and superior performance makes MICROSENS the clear choice in 100G solutions.
