Adtran FSP 3000 OLS plays key role in OIF’s largest-ever demo at OFC

The demo uses Adtran's FSP 3000 OLS to interconnect 400Gbit/s OpenZR+ pluggable transceivers from different suppliers over a bidirectional link that extends up to 1,000km. This comprises eight spans and utilizes Corning's SMF-28 ULL and Contour fibers. The setup uses compact amplification modules integrating EDFA and Raman amplification, OSC, monitor ports and auto-span equalization. This enables an OLS configuration with a high degree of integration, performance, automation and ease of use. It also features terminal nodes with flexible multi-degree ROADMs for power equalization and scalability. The configuration provides an open hardware platform with programmable interfaces that pave the way for interoperability across various data rates, modulation formats and upgrades to 800Gbit/s transport.
