Alcatel-Lucent brings Photonic Service Engine
Alcatel-Lucent is introducing the Photonic Service Engine (PSE), a new chip for fiber optic networks that offers double the capacity, and four times the speed of today's networks. Built on innovations from Bell Labs, the Alcatel-Lucent Photonic Service Engine supports 400 gigabit per second (400G) data transmission speeds on optical networks. The Photonic Service Engine will bring substantial improvements to 100G coherent optical networks, which are being deployed by operators today. The PSE also lays the foundation for the smooth migration to 400G networks in future.
Keiichi Makizono, Corporate Officer, Deputy Unit Head, Technology Unit & Division Head, Network Division, SOFTBANK TELECOM, Japan said, "Speed is a factor for all service providers today: the speed of the network and the speed with which new services can be brought to market. With millions of people looking to us to access the full range of online content, we see Alcatel-Lucent's 400G innovation as the gateway to a long, successful future."
James Watt, President of Alcatel-Lucent's Optics Division said, "From the start we correctly identified the challenges presented by 100G transport, applied the correct technology solution and commercialized it, a decision supported by the deployment of our solution with more than 55 customers worldwide. The introduction of the Alcatel-Lucent 400G Photonic Service Engine is the latest example of how we are continuing to develop leading technology and leverage innovations from Bell Labs to redefine 'state-of-the-art' in optical networking and keep our customers ahead of the game."
