A new way to build optical networks with lower complexity, cost and power consumption
Get started
Ultra-efficient 800G
With a new design combining SM-VCSEL and in-house electronics, LiteWave800™ reduces energy per bit up to one-tenth of today’s LPOs. Its standardized 100G-DR-LPO optical interface and OSFP form factor ensure interoperability with existing devices.
Efficient DWDM
With our coherent pluggable transceivers operators can access a broad ecosystem of high‑performance optics supporting a wide range of data rates and distances. This brings scalability and cost-efficiency to many network applications, from the edge to the core.
Versatility
Our MicroMux™ client-side pluggable optics combined with multiplexing functionality offer a wide range of benefits beyond traditional gray interfaces. Leveraging advanced technologies, they support many low-speed clients on a single high-speed port.
Capacity and reach
With patented distance optimization, AccessWave™ SFPs facilitate seamless capacity upgrades up to 50Gbit/s for access and 5G fronthaul links. With a host-agnostic and I-temp design, they can be plugged into radio units or routers, indoor and outdoor.
ZR(+) coherent optics can be used in networking devices, such as thin transponders, routers and OLTs, minimizing operational complexity and cost.
IPoDWDM
ZR(+) coherent optics in routers enable efficient packet-optical transport solutions.
Thin transponders
M-Flex™ thin transponders efficiently host ZR optics and provide benefits like demarcation.
Host independent
Broad portfolio for both Adtran and third-party hosts, including an I-temp 100ZR+ QSFP28.
LiteWave800™ LPO uses SM VCSEL and in house electronics to deliver 1pJ/bit, setting a new power class for 800G optics ideal for modern AI-driven data centers.
Family of ZR and ZR+ coherent pluggable transceivers for cost-efficient DWDM connectivity from the edge to the core.
Efficient thin transponder hosting 100G, 400G and 800G coherent optics in various operation modes.
MicroMux™ Series
Our family of MicroMux™ pluggables enables high-speed port breakouts, supporting conversions from 10G to 10×1G (MicroMux™ Nano), 100G to 10×10G (MicroMux™), or 400G to 4×100G (MicroMux™ Quattro). This eliminates the need for costly pre-aggregation devices and simplifies network scalability.
Our FSP 3000 M-Flex™ bridges the gap between traditional transponder-based and IP over DWDM models, enabling the use of ZR optics beyond DCI.
