Nokia ushers in 00G transport services era with new programmable silicon chipset and next-generation optical networking systems

Press Release

Expanded Nokia1830 PSS portfolio quadruples optical fiber capacity to greater than 70 terabits per second, helping customers meet surging data demand

Photonic Service Engine version 2 chipset offers unprecedented capacity, reach, flexibility, and density, including industrys first single carrier 400G, first long haul 200G and first ultra-long haul 100G

The new 1830 PSS-24x is the worlds most scalable packet-OTN switch, providing up to 48 terabits of capacity per rack

500G DWDM line card provides investment protection for 1830 PSS customers with an instant upgrade to 500G of flexible bandwidth for delivery of 100G services

16 March, 2016

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today introduced a significant expansion of its 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) portfolio, quadrupling optical fiber capacity to more than 70 terabits per second to address surging network data traffic demand. Centered around the Photonic Service Engine version 2 (PSE-2) from Nokia Bell Labs, the enhanced 1830 PSS family doubles wavelength capacities and wavelengths per fiber, giving operators a platform to efficiently deliver the 100G transport services that customers are demanding.

Service providers are under tremendous pressure to scale their networks to meet the demands of large enterprises, cloud operators and Internet content providers for high-capacity, on-demand services - all while maintaining profitability by lowering cost per bit. According to a white paper published by industry analyst firm Ovum, the rapid adoption of 100G router ports for the interconnection of data centers and metro and backbone applications is driving the need for operators to migrate from 10G client services to 100G to keep pace with escalating transport requirements.

Yet capacity alone is no longer sufficient to respond to ever-changing bandwidth demands. Optical transport is evolving from relatively static applications to highly dynamic services that can be turned up quickly and reconfigured on the fly. Nokia is helping operators address these challenges with an expanded 1830 PSS portfolio featuring unprecedented flexibility through the new PSE-2 chipset and industry-leading scale with the 1830 PSS-24x. These innovations and platforms provide operators with a cost-effective way of delivering business-driven 100G transport services.

Highest performance, most programmable optical chipset

The PSE-2 is the worlds most sophisticated and highly integrated electro-optic chipset. It gives network operators the power to nimbly balance wavelength capacity and reach, maximizing the efficiency of every fiber in their network. The Nokia-designed PSE-2 is available in two versions:

The PSE-2 Super Coherent (PSE-2s) provides the ultimate in performance and flexibility for applications with very high traffic demands and potentially challenging distance requirements. It can be programmed with seven unique modulation formats to support optimized 100G to 500G transport wavelength capacities, and distances for applications ranging from metro to ultra-long haul - including the industrys first 400G single carrier, the first 200G long haul and the first 100G ultra-long haul. The PSE-2s lowers cost per bit per kilometer by maximizing capacity for every distance, while using 50 percent less power.
