More info on Lucent WaveStar OpticAir: lucent-optical.com Another Lucent innovation- the WaveStar OpticAir OLS is the new "open air" optical networking system that will dramatically boost the bandwidth of the local data networks. This system allows transmission of 2.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of voice, video and data traffic over a single wavelength directly through the air. Using the Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM), WaveStar OpticAir OLS offers growth up to four wavelengths with the total capacity of 10 Gbps over several kilometers. Backed up by its highly secure design, WaveStar OpticAir OLS also, offers protection against possible interceptions. Coupled with these features, WaveStar OpticAir OLS presents yet another benefit -- quick and easy indoors and outdoors installation. WaveStar OpticAir OLS' flexible design offers the unique technology that complements and enhances the current capabilities of today's fiber-optic networks. Features and Benefits -- High Capacity -- Its DWDM technology allows transmission rates at 2.5 Gbps (OC-48/STM-16) up to 10 Gbps -- Long Reach Open Air System--Allows transmissions of up to 5 km -- Safe -- Complies with the eye-safety standards -- Short Installation Time--Allows quick and easy installation -- Cost-effective--Provides an economic alternative to fiber access Applications The WaveStar OpticAir OLS' flexible design allows multiple deployment options to serve the following applications: -- A high capacity open air solution for accessing media supported events that do not have an existing infrastructure or where the existing bandwidth is insufficient in meeting the high traffic demand. -- A temporary span/fiber recovery solution to maintain continuity of service and to act as a secondary backup -- A metropolitan link that provides building-to-building or campus network access -- A "Last Mile Access" solution for applications requiring enhanced bandwidth capacity , such as voice, data, internet and CATV Product description The WaveStar OpticAir OLS consists of two terminal units that are used for transmit and receive of the signals. Each terminal unit composed of a telescope and one or more shelves depending on the number of the wavelengths deployed in the system. High power amplifiers are used as part of the design to ensure error-free transmissions of up to several kilometers. The system also includes optical translator units to allow easy deployment of the system into the existing networks and to provide and open interface for multi-vendor access.
