New 1FINITY™ Transport Blades Deliver Initial Speeds up to
600G with Low Power Consumption and Exceptional Design
Flexibility
Fujitsu today announced the new 1FINITY T500 and T600 series
bandwidth-variable transport blades, a next-generation family of
optical transponders designed to meet the demanding needs of global
network service providers and data center operators. Combining
exceptional design flexibility and enhanced transport functions,
with leading space and power efficiency, the 1FINITY T500 and T600
series blades deliver maximum performance and provide the
foundation for 5G mobile transport and service-aware conscious
networks.
Based on the latest 16nm CMOS fin-FET digital signal processor
(DSP) technology developed by NTT Electronics (NEL) in partnership
with Fujitsu, the 1FINITY T500 and T600 blades enable up to 2.4
Tbps of service transport in a fully compliant, pluggable 1RU
design. While introducing entirely new levels of capacity, fiber
reach and power to the network, this advanced DSP technology
delivers dozens of operation modes, including leading 64 GBaud,
64QAM transmission for 600Gbps wavelengths; ensuring the 1FINITY
platform is able to provide the best transmission performance
across a wide range of applications, including data center
interconnect (DCI), metro, long-haul and subsea transport.
Offering variability in service and network data rates, baud
rates, modulation rates, channel width and forward error correction
(FEC), the new 1FINITY blades provide network operators with
flexible modes of operation and optimize transport for any
configuration with one solution. Initially available
bandwidth-variable transport rates from 200G to 600G will support
both C-band and L-band transmission, allowing globalization and
full fiber capacity utilization up to 76.8 Tbps per fiber pair.
“As users continue to push more demanding application traffic
over the network, service providers require high-performance,
high-speed transport to enable greater bandwidth capacity,” said
Andrew Schmitt, lead analyst at Cignal AI. “The latest 1FINITY
transport technology enables faster transport speeds, design
flexibility and power efficiency to meet the needs of escalating
mobile, broadband and cloud network traffic.”
Autonomous and automated at the network element level, 1FINITY
blades work with the Fujitsu Virtuora® Network Controller (NC) to
deliver SDN-based conscious networking for reduced operational
complexity. The 1FINITY T500 and T600 series blades will be able to
autonomously communicate optical parameters to Virtuora NC for
capacity and wavelength adjustments based on service needs,
eliminating the need for static network design and end-of-life
planning. This flexibility and programmability enables intelligent
cloud-based applications such as bandwidth optimization, optical
margin analysis, and failure prediction.
“1FINITY T500 and T600 blades are designed to deliver the
bandwidth capacity, flexibility, programmability and power
efficiency that network service providers and data center operators
require as they build tomorrow’s self-aware networks, today,” said
Christine Podraza, head of the optical business unit at Fujitsu
Network Communications, Inc. “This new family of 1FINITY
transponders from Fujitsu ushers in next-generation variable
optical transport that paves the way for 5G and conscious
networking in a more agile, open and fully automated
environment.”

blades, visit Fujitsu booth #3345 at OFC in San Diego, CA, on March
13-15, 2018.
