The Optical Wave Service of Verizon Global Wholesale is being infused with several enhancements, which leverages the significance of reliable ring topologies and offer diversified services and data links with high speed to users.
The Optical Wave Service, a service with transparency, gives wavelength services with high-performance and point-to-point links that are versatile. The carriers offer the users high bandwidth by leveraging this capacity of transport. The OWS enables the users to monitor the alarms and the performance of networks directly.
According to Verizon Global Wholesale’s product marketing director, Matthew Duckworth, by utilizing the power of their reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexers (ROADM) and metropolitan networks, the transport services that are fiber-based will be expanded. This will enable the high-performance of the point-to-point wavelength services.
A main enhancements enables the interconnection of Optical Wave Service to the SONET ring services of Verizon, for instance, IntelliLight Optical Transport Service and Integrated Optical Service. This enhancement allows the ring users to embed and extend the network with simple and cost-effective service circuits. Provisioning allows the traffic to be fed to the rings, expands the metro rings’ capacity and reduces the data services’ per-bit cost.
The choice of a 10G multiplexed or channelized wave service to a PoP is available to the point-to-point data service carriers. This option provides the carriers to combine lower speed services at the Verizon switching center and the 10G channelized wave service. The users can deliver OWS from a user’s location to a collocation space.
The Optical Wave Service has increased Verizon’s bandwidth from 10 to 40 Gbps. The point-to-point offering of 40 Gbps bandwidth is interfaced as OC768c link.
