Ciena: Coherent ELS

Ciena’s coherent-optimized edge line system, Coherent ELS, is a high-capacity open line system (OLS) that is designed to fully address next-generation edge photonic line system requirements, in a compact hardened form factor, while reducing costs and enabling unmatched operational simplicity. The ELS enables, for the first time, extended temperature coherent line system deployments in uncontrolled environments.

Judge’s Comment: “Simplified quick and easy installation for open platform at photonic layer and automatic turn-up.”
