The WaveReady Intelligent Line Amplifiers (ILAs) are rugged, compact 1- and 2-rack unit (RU) optical amplification nodes that reduce the complexity of optical amplifier deployment, management, and operation, especially in harsh environments. Deployable as a pre-amp, post-amp, or in-line the WaveReady ILA is self optimizing, auto adjusting, and easy to use.
Highlights
- Reduces cost and complexity of amplifier deployment, especially in harsh environments
- Extended temperature operation eliminates or reduces cooling requirements in remote locations
- Reduces complexity with integrated filtering and termination and two optional OSC channels for either WaveReady or third-party
- Minimizes physical footprint with compact 1R or 2RU footprint by up to 85 percent compared to conventional solutions
- Exceeds standards for conduction emissions immunity; ideal for deployment in electrical utility substations or other industrial networks
Applications
- Router-to-router interconnect
- Long-distance amplification
- Multi vendor networks
- Utility substation deployments
Key Features
- Amplifies up to 88 channels using both east and west amplifiers while occupying 70 to 85 percent less space compared to conventional solutions
- Operating temperature up to 65°C
- Supports built-in fiber optic power loss monitoring and automatically compensates for temperature variations in the fiber plant
