Network architectures: IPoDWDM or active DWDM? The choice of architecture affects costs, flexibility, and control over data transmission. GBC Photonics S100 supports both approaches, allowing you to tailor the solution to your needs.
IPoDWDM – simplicity and savings
DWDM modules mounted directly in switches/servers,
lower energy consumption and CAPEX,
no additional devices (transponders),
works well in simple topologies without high SLA requirements.
You can choose between a compact 1U enclosure or larger 2U and 5U systems. The modular design allows you to install only what you need—today and in the future.
uses transponders in the network,
provides a demarcation point and the ability to monitor optical parameters (Tx/Rx, power, OSNR),
allows the use of modules from different manufacturers,
guarantees full control and high reliability.
IPoDWDM
The growing demand for data means increasingly higher monthly operating expenses (OPEX).
