The Lucent WaveStar family represents a cornerstone in the evolution of optical networking, offering high-capacity, scalable solutions designed to meet the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth in carrier and enterprise networks. Built on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, WaveStar systems enable the simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams over a single optical fiber, dramatically increasing network capacity while reducing infrastructure costs.
Engineered for reliability and flexibility, WaveStar products are ideal for long-haul, metro, and regional applications. They support a wide range of protocols and data rates, making them a versatile choice for service providers looking to maximize fiber efficiency and future-proof their optical transport infrastructure.
Whether deployed as part of a legacy system or integrated into modern optical networks, Lucent WaveStar remains a trusted solution for high-performance, carrier-grade optical networking.
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM):
Enables the transmission of multiple wavelengths (channels) over a single optical fiber, significantly increasing bandwidth capacity.
High Scalability:
Supports up to 160 wavelengths per fiber, allowing service providers to expand network capacity without laying additional fiber.
Protocol and Bit Rate Transparency:
Compatible with various protocols including SONET/SDH, ATM, IP, and Ethernet, supporting bit rates from 155 Mbps to 10 Gbps and beyond.
Modular and Flexible Architecture:
Designed with a modular chassis and plug-in card system for easy upgrades, reconfigurations, and maintenance.
Long-Haul and Metro Capabilities:
Suitable for long-distance backbone networks as well as shorter metro and regional deployments.
Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (OADM):
Enables selective access to specific wavelengths at intermediate points in the network without disrupting other traffic.
Integrated Network Management:
Includes advanced management software for provisioning, monitoring, and fault detection, enabling efficient end-to-end network operation.
Redundancy and Fault Tolerance:
Offers carrier-grade reliability with support for optical protection switching and redundant hardware options.
Low Latency Performance:
Optimized for minimal delay, making it suitable for latency-sensitive applications like voice and financial transactions.
Field-Proven Reliability:
Deployed globally by major telecom carriers, the WaveStar platform has a solid track record for durability and performance under demanding conditions.
