Cable-Tec Expo 2018

Narrow Band Tunable

Fraire, 13 October 2017.

Skylane Optics, a supplier in high performance optical transceivers, will be exhibiting and showcasing the use of Narrow Band Tunable optical transceivers for three target applications

  • Linecards for Metropolitan areas up to 80km in distance
  • Mobile Fronthaul where the environmental conditions can be harsh
  • Remote PHY where optical transceivers are being used in outside cabinets to support Data, video and voice services (see image : https://www.skylaneoptics.com/en/narrow-band-tunable-2/)

Skylane Optics CEO, Philippe Bolle commented, “We are seeing the explosive growth of Internet traffic and the need for MSOs to address the sparing and provisioning of multiple wavelengths in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Introducing some tunability within the modules dramatically reduces the sparing costs by as much as 95% and reducing the quantity of part codes by the same amount”.
