DZS is working with Infinera to bring game-changing new integrated ICE-X Coherent Pluggable solutions to market for mobile xHaul and ultra high-speed symmetrical business services from 25GE to 400GE. The solution combines the recently introduced DZS Saber 2200 Coherent Ethernet Switch and Infinera’s intelligent coherent pluggables. Jason Lauzon, Strategic Sales Director at DZS, explains:  

- The introduction of the DZS Saber 2200, a high-capacity layer 2 Ethernet aggregation switch that can act as an XR Leaf node

- The unique features of Saber 2200, including 24 ports of 1, 2, 10, and 25 gig with four coherent line ports that can be XR Optics acting as a leaf note or 100 Gig coherent using QSFP DD technology.

- The DZS Saber 2200 will operate as a leaf node leveraging Infinera’s ICE-X’s ability to support point-to-point or point-to-multi-point applications. The integrated solution enables service providers to cost-efficiently deliver 25GE, 50GE, 75GE, 100GE and 200GE enterprise-class services over current Passive Optical Networking (PON) infrastructure. 


Solution highlights:

  • High capacity, low latency comprehensive Layer 2 networking support enabling mobile front/mid/backhaul capabilities
  • Key Time Sensitive Networking features including Integrated Grand Master Timing
  • Supports enhanced common public radio interface eCPRI/CPRI transport capabilities via Radio Over Ethernet (ROE)
  • Advanced Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) support enables service providers to optimize bandwidth and improve network efficiencies
  • Supports point-to-multipoint applications over 100GE interfaces
  • Enables the ability to dramatically reduce the number of optical transceivers and aggregation sites, offering significant CapEx reductions
  • Enables service providers to maximize router efficiency, density, and simplicity, while aligning CapEx and actual bandwidth requirements
  • Seamlessly adapts to changing bandwidth demands and traffic patterns
  • NETCONF/YANG managed
  • Supports redundant, field-replaceable power units

Stay tuned for more updates and technology use cases from DZS and their partnership with Infinera.
