Nortel OPTera Long Haul 1600 System
The Nortel OPTera Long Haul 1600, now known as the Optical Long Haul
1600, is an open, multiservice photonic system that transports Ethernet
and 2.5G/10G wavelength-based services over regional and long haul
distances with high reliability and performance. The OPTera Long Haul 1600
extends the capacity advantages and fiber savings of dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) technology to provide open connectivity of
wavelength services for a wide range of applications, from IP and
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) to multi-vendor synchronous optical
network (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) equipment.
Nortel Networks OPTera Long Haul 1600 offers optical add/drop
multiplexing (OADM) to enable the add/drop of local traffic without
terminating express optical channels. This flexible design scheme provides
loss-free insertion of the OADM and high-capacity drop, allowing the
network to grow seamlessly in response to increased volumes and changing
traffic patterns.
