What is ROADM?

 

Transmode's ROADM units are a powerful part of the TM-Series enabling cost optimized Flexible Optical Networks based on DWDM technology. Built for dynamic network applications, the ROADM units allow hitless wavelength allocation and future proof traffic design.

Key benefits with Transmode's ROADM units are:

• Multiple use - can be used in bus and ring topologies as well as three- to eight-way mesh nodes with local add-drop
• Available as 2, 4 and 8 individual drop ports providing cost efficient alternatives in both access and metro networks
• Supports cutting edge ROADM node configurations such as colorless, directionless and contentionless nodes, allowing flexible and cost optimized handling of traffic
• Provides add/drop of any wavelength from/to any port, giving maximum flexibility in wavelength allocation
• Built-in Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) for easier channel power balancing
• Compact design, giving small footprint
• Fully integrated with TM-Series and Transmode Network Manager (TNM)
• Low Power Design and small footprint ensures low total cost of ownership

The 1x2, 1x4 and 1x8 ROADM units are compact solutions for all network topologies. They are fully supported as units in the TM-3000 chassis and work as building blocks for reconfigurable add-drop nodes in up to 8 dimensions.
