Ekinops allows TaaS model with OTN launch
www.ekinops.com
Ekinops has delivered its first Ekinops360 ETSc, a new compact optical transport networking (OTN) platorm that enables a new Transport-as-a-Service (TaaS) model for service providers. Te Ekinops ETSc leverages field-proven technology using the
latest advances in network processor chipsets to enable a new TaaS model for service providers, with the performance requirements that today’s high-capacity, high-value services demand. OTN makes TaaS possible by allowing it to match the amount of bandwidth used to the client data rate for any size service, from gigabit Ethernet (1.25Gb/s) to 400GbE with dedicated resources end-to-end and rapid provisioning capability. It provides full OTN switch capability, with scalability from
100Gb/s to 6Tb/s, to address the requirements of any network node from access to the core. As small as 1RU and with low power consumption, it can even be used as customer premises equipment (CPE) for layer 1 services. Highly agile and flexible, the ETSc can be used for both new and existing infrastructure deployments, as well as for service delivery. Initial interest came from a new North American Tier 1 customer
Infinera has introduced the ICE6 Turbo, a coherent optical solution that can operate above 100 GBd. Produced in Infinera’s in-house, US-based fabrication centre, ICE6 Turbo is a performance- optimised configuration of Infinera’s 1.6T (2 x 800G) ICE6 coherent optical engine. With the introduction of the
Turbo mode, ICE6 is able to provide up to a 30 per cent performance boost in high- speed applications. Te result is a solution that enables network operators to support 4 x 400 GbE services using a single optical engine across long-haul distances and 3 x 400 GbE services across ultra-long-haul distances, driving down the cost per bit of delivering high-speed

optical services. By supporting more 400 GbE services in a single optical engine across longer distances, ICE6 Turbo can provide economic benefits to network operators. It leverages the capabilities
of the company’s monolithic indium phosphide-based photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology and is enabled by the holistic co-design of the various optical engine components and pioneering optical networking features, including second-generation Nyquist subcarriers, long- codeword probabilistic constellation shaping (LC-PCS), dynamic bandwidth allocation, and soſt-decision forward error correction (SD-FEC) gain sharing.

and the ETSc is currently undergoing full field validation and integration into an open, multi-vendor SDN-controlled environment. Te new OTN platorm can also be managed by Celestis NMS, Ekinops’ converged network management system, which provides a single tool for end-to-end management of both Ekinops360 OTN and WDM networks.
