Fujitsu unveiled its new 1FINITY Ultra Optical System capable of delivering 1.2 Tbps on a single wavelength, with future upgrade to 1.6 Tbps.
Fujitsu will launch the new platform in the first half of 2023, starting with customers in Japan, North America, as well as throughout Europe where Fujitsu recently expanded availability of its full line of optical, wireless and networking software solutions.
The next generation 1FINITY Ultra Optical System features a digital signal processor (DSP) using latest semiconductor processes and liquid cooling technology with twice the cooling capacity of conventional technology. The newly developed high performance coherent DSP and ultra-high-speed CDM (Coherent Driver Modulator) enable 135 Gbaud capabilities.
The platform also leverages Fujitsu’s continuous C+L ROADM architecture able to handle multiple wavelength bands in a single product, as well as Forward Raman amplification, a technology developed Furukawa Electric in which signal light and excitation light propagate in the same direction in an optical fiber, and the transmission distance is extended by Raman excitation of the signal light.
Fujitsu also noted its new 1FINITY Ultra Optical System can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to similar platforms, while maintaining high data rates of 1.2 Tbps on a single wavelength and 40% greater reach.
Moving forward, Fujitsu plans to offer services using machine learning to optimize network operations and resources for use in combination with Fujitsu’s “Virtuora Network Control Solution” for wide-area network operation and management.
