Jabil’s photonics business unit, and IP Infusion, have come together to launch a new concept of open line system – the 400G ZR OLS.
Network disaggregation and open solutions are recognised by web scale providers and network carriers as the key critical enablers of agility, time-to-market and overall lowest cost of ownership. The new OLS solution optimises the transport of 400ZR signals over 80/120km by using the IP Infusion OcNOS software stack to meet the massive demand for bandwidth globally.
Within the optical domain, this surge has impacted the products and modules that translate client signals into an optical signal, such as transponders and mux-ponders. Additionally, this surge is evolving towards pluggable coherent modules implementing 400G ZR/ZR+ standards that can be plugged directly into Ethernet switches and/or IP routers.
The new 400G ZR OLS is provided in a standard 1RU chassis and is easy to install into the same Ethernet switch and cloud server rack. The product is available to end customers, network integrators and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in a variety of business models, including as a white label.
