WaveLogic Coherent Optics

WaveLogic Coherent Optics are deployed across our optical and routing and switching products to power 100 Gb/s to 1.6 Tb/s per wavelength solutions, driving scalability, intelligence, and programmability—critical elements of the Adaptive Network.

WaveLogic 6

WaveLogic 6 Extreme offers programmable 200 Gb/s–1.6 Tb/s line rates, supporting massive 1.6 Tb/s single-carrier wavelengths for metro ROADM deployments and 1.2 Tb/s across 1,000 km distances while extending 800G connectivity across virtually all network links—even across transpacific distances. WaveLogic 6 Nano enables fit-for-purpose 800G pluggables to meet diverse customer and application requirements, from 10 km to 1,000 km, as well as a 1.6T Coherent-Lite pluggable for data center applications.

WaveLogic 5

WaveLogic 5 Extreme offers programmable 200G–800G line rates to deliver high-capacity connectivity and efficiently transport 400GbE client rates across any distance. WaveLogic 5 Nano introduces 100G–400G coherent pluggables that support a wide range of both interoperable and high-performance transmission modes, so you can extend 400 Gb/s pluggable connectivity—with its power and space benefits—across more applications.

WaveLogic Ai

With WaveLogic Ai, you can tackle unpredictable bandwidth demands with a single hardware module that can optimize capacity across any path and flexibly move bandwidth where you need it. With tunable 100G–400G, it provides double the capacity per wavelength across applications versus 100G/200G solutions—which translates into increased network efficiency and reduced cost per bit.

WaveLogic 3

Looking for a solution that’s proven in over 200 customer networks around the globe—from the shortest metro to the longest compensated subsea link? Meet WaveLogic 3. Optimized for 50 GHz systems, it supports the full mix of service and client rates from 10G to 100G—including full throughput, wire-speed encryption—for transport over 100G–200G wavelengths.
