Optimized for best-in-class 100G service density and low power consumption, Ciena’s WaveLogic Ai MOTRs are optical transponder and service channel interfaces that enable a more scalable and programmable infrastructure. Ciena’s WaveLogic Ai (WLAi) MOTR combines four 100G QSFP28 clients and one programmable 400G coherent line interface in a single-slot form factor. With its pluggable QSFP28 client ports, operators can accommodate high-speed 100GE services or OTU4 connections with an efficient, pay-as-you-grow operational model. One variant of the module includes an Optical Protection Switch (OPS) port directly on the card for integrated optical layer protection without the need to deploy additional hardware. WLAi MOTR operates flexibly in any of the existing 6500 D-Series and S-Series shelf configurations, from the compact 6500-D2 (2RU height) to the half-rack 6500-S32 configuration, so network providers can select the appropriate form factor to match specific capacity and power/space requirements.
Features and Benefits • Addresses all application requirements with a single module that leverages a payas-you-grow operating model • Maximizes channel capacity for all applications, with tunability from 100G to 400G in 50G steps • Increases service availability with a variant that integrates an Optical Protection Switch on the card • Offers unprecedented, real-time optical networking performance data with the programmability required to make networks
requirements. The WLAi MOTR interface integrates Ciena’s programmable WaveLogic Ai coherent modem technology, which allows users to tune capacity from single wave 100 Gb/s to 400 Gb/s to maximize capacity for any distance. Users can transport twice the capacity per wavelength versus 100G/200G solutions, or extend signals over three times the distance at equivalent capacities to gain significant economic savings. Specifically, 400G can be deployed in metro and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications, 300 Gb/s for regional applications, 200 Gb/s for long-haul terrestrial,and 100G for >10,000 km compensated submarine links.
