Key functionality of Coriant CloudWave Optics includes flexible DWDM modulation schemes, one line card/different client cards, and same line module in different products for guaranteed interworking. Coriant CloudWave Optics offers the most advanced and adaptable flexi-rate functionality based on implementation of software-programmable 4QAM (QPSK), 8QAM, and 16QAM flexibility which, in combination with flexi-grid, enables the simplified provisioning of dynamic reach- and/or capacity-optimized superchannels. Coriant CloudWave Optics addresses a broad range of optical transport applications, including metro, regional, long haul, ultra long haul, and data center interconnect. Typical use cases include:
- optimization of bandwidth vs. reach on same service module
- longer protection path with lower bandwidth
- reduction of 3R
- simplified operations, less card types.
Judge's comment: "Impressive, comprehensive solution."
