<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA: The phases are the launch of the 1830 PSS platform, the development of high-capacity coherent transponders, the C+L band technology, and ongoing enhancements of power consumption and spectral efficiency, among others. Also, Nokia has made major progress on the five G transport, cloud-scale inter datacentre interconnect, and metro aggregation networks, especially on the Nokia 1830 PSS platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Q: Communicore, when you deal with Nokias Solutions and many other vendors’ products, how do you and Nokia ensure that you get good-quality products? <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA: It is the combination of their innovative nature, intensive testing and standards, and continuous improvements. Their optical networking products are crafted in a fashion compliant with logical multi-source agreements and international standards. Nokia also spends a lot on R&D so that it remains competitive in the optical space, which translates to high-quality products and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Q: What interfaces and connectors do Nokia DWDM equipment support?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA: In the case of Nokia’s DWDM equipment, many interfaces, connectors, and other mechanisms are provided, enabling integration to different network elements. These include standard optical interfaces such as SFP and SFP+and more complex interfaces designed for coherent transmission. Types of connectors, such as LC connectors, are supported. The equipment also has electric interfaces that offer client connections and support different Ethernet rates for mobile and fixed network applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Q: How does Nokia manage the increasing capacity requirements in optical networks?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA: There are ways that Nokia’s approach to address capacity limitations in optical networks includes some of the following. There is also the construction of coherent transponders, which have a high capacity of over 800G per wavelength, optimizing the C and L band technology to increase the optical spectrum usage and deploying flexible grid technology to utilize the available bandwidth capacity better. Also, Nokia’s technologies are consistent with more sophisticated formats of modulation as well as advanced techniques of forward error correction to enhance capacity over already existing fiber optic infrastructure.<\/p>\n
