News summary:
- OIF interoperability showcase of an expansive multi-vendor
ecosystem demonstrates disaggregated networking across a 1,000km
link
- Demo built on Adtran FSP 3000 OLS showcases high-performance
400G transport with high degree of integration and ease of use
- Collaboration of 47 members emphasizes scalability, efficiency
and multi-vendor interoperability
Adtran today announced that it’s playing a key role in the
Optical Internetworking Forum’s (OIF) most extensive multi-vendor
interoperability demo to date, held at the Optical Fiber
Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC). Central to the
showcase is Adtran’s FSP 3000 open line system (OLS), which
delivers 400Gbit/s OpenZR+ transceiver interoperability across a
1,000km link. The OLS features advanced automation and optimization
for maximum performance and user-friendly operation. Involving 47
member companies, the demo marks a major milestone in open
networking and highlights the commitment of the OIF community to
driving the future of high-performance, efficient and scalable
network solutions.

“Interoperability continues to be at the heart of our vision for
the future of optical networking. This year, by showcasing our FSP
3000 OLS’s capacity for 400Gbit/s OpenZR+ transceiver
interoperability over regional distances, we’re pushing the
boundaries of end-to-end network performance,” said Stephan
Neidlinger, VP of global business development at Adtran. “Together
with our fellow industry innovators at the OIF, we’re spotlighting
what can be achieved when we unite behind intelligent, open
architectures. This shared dedication to supporting multi-vendor
environments will ensure superior network performance and new
levels of flexibility for our customers.”
The demo uses Adtran’s FSP 3000 OLS to interconnect 400Gbit/s
OpenZR+ pluggable transceivers from different suppliers over a
bidirectional link that extends up to 1,000km. This comprises eight
spans and utilizes Corning’s SMF-28 ULL and Contour fibers. The
setup uses compact amplification modules integrating EDFA and Raman
amplification, OSC, monitor ports and auto-span equalization. This
enables an OLS configuration with a high degree of integration,
performance, automation and ease of use. It also features terminal
nodes with flexible multi-degree ROADMs for power equalization and
scalability. The configuration provides an open hardware platform
with programmable interfaces that pave the way for interoperability
across various data rates, modulation formats and upgrades to
800Gbit/s transport.
“This demo is a testament to the power of strategic
collaboration and technological integration, epitomizing the core
principles our FSP 3000 OLS was built upon: openness, scalability
and cutting-edge performance. Through concerted efforts with our
OIF partners, from renowned component manufacturers to key industry
players, we’re crafting solutions that will provide the
adaptability and optical prowess our customers need for the
networking challenges they face,” commented Ryan Schmidt, GM of
optical transport at Adtran. “By focusing on customized solutions
and embracing an ecosystem-wide approach, Adtran is not only
tackling current network complexities but also setting the stage
for future advancements, ensuring that our customers will always
stay ahead of the game.”
