ZTE unveils multi-application 400G device

ZTE introduces 400G/ 1T dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) multi-application network device prototype at the 16th WDM & Next Generation Optical Networking Forum in Monaco, France. This product helps ZTE to deploy solutions and products for 100G and ultra 100G commercial roll out.

DWDM device is said to support seven network applications as the prototype provides high bandwidth efficiency. The device has a multi-subcarrier Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing 400G/1T solution for ultra-long-haul applications. It also is a 16 quadrature amplitude modulation solution for metro and local applications with an industry highest bandwidth utilization rate.

"ZTE's 100G DWDM/ optical transport network (OTN) system supports C-band 80-wavelength applications, standard PM-QPSK code pattern adjustment and coherent detection. It also uses an industry leading advanced soft decision forward error correction technology and provides the industry's strongest 100G transport capability," said a statement.

ZTE Bearer Network Product Line General Manager Chen Yufei said, "ZTE is a world-leading provider of next-generation bearer network solutions, devices and services. ZTE launched the industry's first full-range of 100G bearing solutions in 2010, providing 100G products ranging from switches and routers to WDM OTN equipment and end-to-end solutions from edge layer to core layer."
