An TM DWDM+CWDM C A4

This document discusses two examples of combining CWDM and DWDM networks using Transmode equipment. The first example shows using CWDM wavelengths as an overlay network on an amplified DWDM point-to-point link to provide connectivity to an intermediate site. The second example demonstrates using Quad MultiRate Transponders to translate between CWDM and DWDM networks at a hub site, allowing traffic from CWDM networks to be transported on a DWDM fiber pair. The Transmode platform provides modular cards that allow both CWDM and DWDM technologies to be used together under common management.

Amplified DWDM link


Amplified DWDM links utilizes one single-fiber for transmit direction, and the other for receive direction. This enables introduction of optical amplifiers, since these can only operate in one direction.
TM-301

The figure above shows a typical DWDM point-to-point link for multiple channels using one intermediate line amplifier site. Management access to the intermediate line amplifier site is created by using a separate OSC channel (Optical Supervisory Channel). This channel is created by the Control Unit (CU) and is based on a CWDM wavelength channel operating on one of the single-fibers. This setup is very cost-effective, but the question is how the intermediate site can be included in the traffic matrix without introducing a costly DWDM OADM node.

Adding CWDM as an overlay network


The most cost-effective way to overlay more traffic onto the network above, is to add on CWDM-channels that run in parallel with the DWDM wavelengths. In this network example 4x GbE channels are to be carried from each of the end nodes to the intermediate node, i.e. a bus network. The solution presented is to use the CWDM channels for GbE-traffic instead of OSC. Here we use this setup on both single-fibers to give the needed amount of GbE-channels. As shown in the figure, the TP DDGBE unit is used to aggregate 2x GbE signals on two CWDM wavelength channels, giving a total of 4xGbE between the nodes. The embedded management channels of the TP DDGBE provide the needed management access to the intermediate node.

This example network is thus a combination of an amplified DWDM ptp-network with a single-fibre CWDM bus network utilizing the same fibre-pair. All plug-in units can be mounted in e.g. the TM-3000 chassis. The benefits of this solution compared to a traditional DWDM OADM setup is rather obvious. The same concept can be applied on links with multiple intermediate amplifier sites.

This second network example shows how the Quad MultiRate Transponder (TP QMR) can be used to translate between CWDM and DWDM networking. In the two left nodes the TP QMR units are configured as CWDM Transponders to transport the traffic up to a hub node via two separate single-fibers using CWDM -SFPs. Additional traffic is collected in the hub node and all to be transported on a fiber-pair. The number of CWDM channels is now not sufficient and consequently we need to use a DWDM solution.
10G Tunable Transponder

As shown in the figure, two TP QMR units are equipped with CWDM SFPs on one side and DWDM-SFP on the other, thus forming a translation between CWDM and DWDM. The third TP QMR is equipped as a DWDM Transponder using client SFPs on one side and DWDM SFP s on the line side. The two presented examples show the power of the TM Platform. The modularity and flexibility enables almost any mix of technologies and topologies. TM-NEs are managed via the Embedded Node Manager (ENM). The Transmode Network Manager (TNM) is used to manage both TM- and TS-networks. Contact Transmode or a Transmode representative for more information about the complete Transmode offerings.
