Companies Establish Interoperability
Ecosystem for Network Operators
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”) announced today at the Optical
Fiber Conference OFC 2017 it has established with Ciena
(NYSE:CIEN) the opportunity to leverage Ciena’s WaveLogic coherent
technology for Lumentum’s optical module products, establishing a
new coherent ecosystem enabling system interoperability with other
solutions based on this technology.
“Lumentum is excited to partner with Ciena to help create an
ecosystem for high-speed coherent transmission technology,” said
Doug Alteen, vice president, product line management, Telecom.
“When we combine Ciena’s leading coherent digital signal
processing (DSP) technology with our broad optical component
portfolio, and ultimately our photonic integration capability, we
believe we can deliver to customers compelling value while still
offering interoperability with competing solutions.”
The initial engagement is for development of a 400G transponder
capable of up to 400Gb/s on a single wavelength, with operating
modes suitable for submarine, long-haul, metro, and data center
interconnect applications. This module design leverages the new
Ciena WaveLogic Ai coherent digital signal processor device in
conjunction with the Lumentum industry-leading portfolio of
coherent optical components.
Following the initial 400G transponder, Lumentum intends to
leverage the WaveLogic roadmap to develop future module solutions,
including 400G pluggable modules.
