Metropolis®Multi-Wavelength

Optical Amplifier (OA)

The Lucent Technologies Metropolis®Multi-Wavelength Optical Amplifier

(OA) is a versatile, compact, and flexible system that helps overcome the

distance limitations of DWDM technology. This cost-effective unit is part

of the Metropolis

®

Wavelength Extension Solution portfolio, and is fully

interoperable with Lucent products without the need for additional, costly

components. It offers an energy efficient, self-configuring design, and

simplfied rack mounting with both front and rear access for easy access.

Features

• Variable Optical Attenuation

• Plug-and-play design

• SNMP and TL1 management

• Gain-flattening and
transient control

• Stand-alone transponders

• One-, two-, or four-channel
OADM units

Benefits

• Bridges long distance networks
through wavelength extension

• Saves floor space with
compact design

• Provides low-maintenance
performance and management

• Offers operational flexibility

• Delivers stability and efficiency

Applications

• Metro, backbone, and access –
single and multiple wavelength
span extension

• Mid-span access

Extends multiple wavelengths up to 140km

The Metropolis®Multi-Wavelength OA helps bridge long distances
in your network. It can extend single or multiple wavelengths up to
140km in a single span or over multiple spans of up to 100km each.

Offers compact size and flexibility

The minimal power consumption and compact size of the Metropolis

®

Multi-Wavelength OA helps keep operating costs low. It is available in
two standard width sizes: 19x12x2 inch and 23x12x2 inch. This product
can be used as a line amplifier, transmit amplifier or pre-amplifier, and it
can be configured for mid-span applications.

Provides low-maintenance performance and management

Long-term network operation and management are facilitated by
managing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), TL-1,
and/or alarm relays with industry-standard methods. Overall operating
efficiency can be improved through its optical management capabilities,
such as variable optical attenuation.

Delivers cost savings and efficiency

The Metropolis®Multi-Wavelength OA is designed to provide a
simple, scalable and cost-effective wavelength extension solution
for your network. Installation is facilitated since there is no need for
shelves or circuit packs. Plus, when combined with the Metropolis

®

Passive WDM System, it presents a cost-effective way to extend
wavelengths greater distances.
