Add/drop platform and wavelength-selective switches
Oclaro announced an add/drop routing platform for next-generation reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs). The platform, which supports colourless, directionless, contentionless (CDC) and flexible grid ROADMs, can be tailored to a system vendor's requirements and includes such functions as cross-connect switching, arrayed amplifiers and optical channel monitors.
"If we make the whole thing [add/drop platform], we can integrate in a much better way"
Per Hansen, Oclaro
