Scalable to 1.6 Terabits per second (Tbps) transponder capacity per shelf and supporting a stackable virtual chassis configuration with a single management interface, the DZS Saber-4400 is ready to address the unique challenges of today’s optical edge. The new requirements for optical edge deployments, include meeting growing transport requirements of multi-gigabit fiber broadband service deployments and providing upgraded connectivity for 5G cell towers, while accommodating multiple wholesale and vertical enterprise customers. By introducing what DZS believes to be the first coherent optical edge transport platform optimized for deployment in non-climate-controlled environments, Palmetto Engineering & Consulting, a leading telecom engineering consultancy, estimates that service providers can realize savings ranging from approximately
The introduction of the industry’s newest compact and flexible metro and edge optical transport platform could not come at a better time for service providers. Governments globally have set aside more than
“Accelerating trends like the: MMG program; proliferation of 5G mobile xHaul; increased transition to XGS-PON for rural broadband deployments; and push for business service scalability and agility are all driving demand for bandwidth at a new location in the network – the optical edge,” said
The DZS Saber-4400 platform supports a range of modules that can each scale up to 400 Gbps per wavelength and beyond. The use of coherent optics in transponders allows distances of up to 120 km to be achieved without amplification, while the addition of amplifier modules can more than double this reach, with mid-span amplification reaching even farther. The DZS Saber-4400 platform module options range from commercial and industrial temperature coherent muxponder/transponders to expandable multi-degree CDC Flex-Grid ROADMs, flexible optical cross-connects, add/drop modules, Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), Raman amplifiers, path protection modules as well as support for future Layer 2/Layer 3 switching and routing modules, giving service providers unprecedented flexibility and power to quickly respond to changing bandwidth demands at the optical edge.
“We were amazed at the capabilities of the DZS Saber-4400 platform and immediately recognized that our service provider clients who are deploying XGS-PON or looking to address the backhaul needs from their 5G cell sites would benefit greatly from cost-effectively bringing the bandwidth and reach of coherent optics into their networks,” said
For service providers that need to streamline their end-to-end network performance, initiate multi-service, multi-haul transport upgrades, deliver remote connectivity to datacenters or business services or deploy fiber-deep architectures, the DZS Saber-4400 platform is ideal for cost-effectively transforming optical network infrastructure to meet hyper-speed edge traffic demands and deliver an emerging class of differentiated network services to consumers and businesses.
Saber-4400 Key Differentiators:
- Cost-effective: Compact, open modular form factor allows Saber solutions to be cost-effectively deployed in existing cabinets, reducing the cost to address rising transport requirements at locations such as cell towers or remote fiber communities, enabling significant savings
- Power Efficient and Climate Hardened: An environmentally hardened platform leveraging coherent optics that can operate between -40 °C to +65 °C, eliminating the need for heat exchangers and air conditioning upgrades in existing cabinets or including these elements in new cabinets
- High bandwidth, Long Reach: Ability to transport multiple 100G-400G+ coherent circuits to a distance of up to 120 km in a compact form factor enabling scale and ease of deployment for remote 5G or 10 gigabit services
- Ideal Solution for Middle Mile Grant Recipients: The DZS Saber-4400 meets “Buy America” requirements, making it ideally suited for many
U.S. government funding programs designed to close the digital divide - Full CDC-Flex Grid ROADM Capabilities to the Edge: Significantly expands the typical range of deployment for ROADMs, establishing a new strategic capability at the network edge
- Combining to Deliver a New Level of Capacity: When deploying the Saber-4400 with the recently introduced DZS M4000 high-performance edge aggregation and mobile transport system and extensive portfolio of Velocity Optical Line Terminals (OLTs), service providers can now deliver a new level of multi-gigabit throughput, low-latency, and symmetric capacity for optical access and edge networks
