Dense Multi-Carrier (DMC) technology is a patented, innovative photonic and modulation technology that is applied to OpVista's line of WDM optical networking systems. DMC technology delivers a powerful cost effective solution that enables 40G and 100G wavelengths with high spectral efficiency, for fiber capacity up to 8 terabits/sec, over existing 10G DWDM optical networks without the need for costly network re-engineering. This innovative breakthrough allows service providers to cost effectively expand the service capacity of today's network infrastructure. DMC technology's building blocks allow OpVista to cost effectively adapt solutions to universally cover metro, regional, long-haul and ultra-long-haul optical networks.
OpVista DMC technology delivers the following benefits to Optical Networks:
- Enables 40G and 100G transmission per wavelength on existing 10G transport networks by conforming to the 10G network symbol rate.
- Requires no re-engineering of 10G fiber network infrastructure by ensuring compatibility with dispersion characteristics of existing 10G networks.
- Ensures stability of supply and low cost by leveraging mature, reliable 10G components.
- Accommodates network operators' requirements for bandwidth-intensive services such as high definition video and video-on-demand by enabling wavelength-by-wavelength scaling up to 8 terabits/sec per fiber.
