The AgileCore
focus is to deliver capital savings and scalable backbone infrastructure
while simplifying and expediting network operations. Enabling optical
pass-through at OADM and multi-directional nodes with automated point
to any point wavelength turn up is essential to providing these values.
To support optical
pass-through requires the ability to network wavelengths across multiple
line systems where each wavelength within the fiber may have a different
origin and destination. The DLS 1000 couples ultra-long reach DWDM technologies
with automated per wavelength intelligence and control to adapt to the
variable power, noise and non-linear effects associated with variable
optical path lengths. In addition to the capital savings, operational
savings are also generated because lengthy engineering and provisioning
cycles are automated as each wavelength can be monitored and controlled
'on-the-fly'.

Extending Network Flexibility
with Automated DWDM
Capital cost reduction provided by reach and capacity needs to be
complemented with flexibility and operational simplification to build
a scalable optical backbone network in an environment of increasing constraints
on total cost and time. AgileCore combines advances in DWDM transport
with intelligent optical signaling technologies to allow service providers
to add and reconfigure core bandwidth while eliminating traditional engineering
processes from the cycle.
Maximizing
Transparency with Networked Reach
The economic benefit of optical pass-through using optical add/drop multiplexers
(OADM) has gained acceptance in the industry, however the current generation
of fixed-wavelength architectures has limited their usefulness. The DLS
1000 introduces a fully-flexible OADM that provides access to any wavelength
at any location, using full-range tunability (Colorless DWDM). This eliminates
complex pre-engineering of capacity and channel plans, allowing cost scalability
without the risk of stranding line capacity. Coupled with the AgileCore
TPX 1000 transparent switch, OADM-like pass-through benefits can be extended
to network junctions and hubs, maximizing network transparency. Enhancing
this capability is the ability of the DLS 1000 to provide network defined
reach, optimizing system performance around network traffic requirements.
Additionally, where necessary, the system can dynamically configure a
regeneration or conversion point on an end-to-end wavelength path. This
allows fully automated wavelength turn-up regardless of path length. Intermediate
nodes may be equipped as OADM or Transparent Photonic Switch (TPX 1000)
sites,
while Terminal sites can be upgraded in-service
to a TPX 1000 to incrementally grow the network.
Automated
Control Simplifies Operations
A fundamentally different system design approach eliminates the constraints
applied by traditional system link budgets. The DLS 1000 modular amplifier
architecture uses building blocks such as Raman, EDFA and slope-matched
dispersion compensation to accommodate a wide range of actual inter-site
distances and fiber types. The system performs 'in-skin' measurements
of both component and fiber parameters to drive advanced photonic control
that automatically adjusts power along a link, allowing compensation for
a wide degree of variance due to plant characteristics, repair and aging.
Further, enhanced connection trace capability creates intelligent patch
cords that further ease physical connection management and enable automatic
self-test and turn-up.
