Ethernet and fiber remain the backbone, but a single access technology no longer defines the WAN. Instead, it’s being reshaped by the convergence of Wi-Fi, 5G and satellite connectivity, each with its own unique set of strengths and constraints. Keynote Overview Bosack will draw on both historical insights and forward-looking trends to inform how enterprises and carriers should approach next-generation WAN design. Key themes include: 5G: From hype to reality – How far deployments have come, and where private 5G and edge computing are proving their worth. Layering technologies – Why the future isn’t “5G or Wi-Fi,” but “5G and Wi-Fi,” with fiber as the anchor and satellites extending coverage to hard-to-reach locations. Constraints to consider – Spectrum efficiency, energy consumption and infrastructure costs, plus the growing need for zero-trust security in distributed networks. Industry Research That Sets the Stage Recent studies highlight just how transformative this convergence will be: Private 5G + Wi-Fi 7 can boost network efficiency by 75–80% while lowering operational costs by as much as 30–35% over five years. Wi-Fi 7 field tests show real-world throughput over 1 Gbps at 40 feet in the 6 GHz band, proving its readiness for dense enterprise environments. Why It Matters The WAN is no longer about a single technology, but integration. The organizations that thrive will be those that design networks capable of adapting in real time, balancing performance, efficiency and security. Bosack’s keynote offers both a historical perspective on how we got here and a strategic roadmap for where the WAN is headed.

I'm Buffy Harakidas of JSA, and we have two very special guests today joining me from XKL. We have Casey Inman, she's the Director of Sales and Marketing, and we also have Chad Lamb. He is the Principal Solutions Architect. So, welcome. Casey: Thank you. Thank you for having us, Buffy. Buffy: Absolutely. So, it's day three of ITW 2025 and we are going to be talking more about XKL and a little bit more about your roles within the company. So, why don't we start with you, Casey? Casey: Absolutely, thank you again for having us. So at XKL, our mission is to make DWDM easy. We really want to empower our customers to be able to light dark fiber and take advantage of layer 1 optical network solutions. Part of how we do this is that we have in-house experts. Our company is founded and run by Len Bosack, who's the original co-founder of Cisco, and then we also have our Director of Engineering, Mike Fahy, who's been with us for 20-plus years. And then Chad, who's with us today, who helps run our product roadmap. All of these folks have tons of experience with optical transport, optics in general, which are very complex. And they've been working on it from 10G to 400G, and now we're actually looking at prototyping and we have 800G in our lab right now. One of the things we do really well is that we're very consultative. Our customers have said things like “you can tell that XKL's systems are designed by engineers for engineers”, and we do all of this while still taking into account their business and their customers’ needs. And then just a little bit about me and then I'll pass it over to Chad. I've been with XKL for a little over two years now. I was brought in to help design and execute the go-to-market strategy, and now I'm really focused on how we drive the vision to make sure that we can help our customers solve their problems at the layer 1 optical network. Buffy: Well, you're doing a great job. We're definitely hearing more and more about XKL since you've joined the team. Casey: And then I was going to have Chad just really quickly introduce a little bit about himself. Chad Lamb: Thank you. I'm Chad Lamb. I've been with XKL for 25 years, a long time, and I really focused on product line development. I work really closely with the sales, marketing, and the engineering team to develop solutions to help our customers solve their problems, rather than create new ones. Buffy: Well, that's important. We don't need any new problems. You recently released two new products, correct? The Fiber Patch Panel and the DAT100, which I understand were inspired by your unique approach. Why don't you talk a little bit more about that? Casey: Yeah, absolutely. I’ll start with our fiber management system, our XKL Patch Panel, and then we'll go ahead and move into the DAT100 after we've spoken about that a little bit. One of the things about the patch panel is it seems so simple when you look at it, but if you think about the way that operators are having to deploy hundreds and thousands of these in data centers, it really does become an important piece of the puzzle. When it's designed well, it can help reduce operational overhead and debugging time. We are very hands-on with our customers. We observe them in their environment and watch them really struggle with having to feed cables through the back of the rack. Then the labeling is confusing. Just like many of our products are designed by engineers for engineers, we took a second look at this and Chad really helped lay out how to redesign this patch panel. So we've now implemented clear labeling, as well as better cabling, which is going to help save operational overhead. Chad had some additional technical things he wanted to touch on about that product. Chad Lamb: Right. Thanks, Casey. The patch panel came about from customers. They’re trying to deploy equipment and time and time again they're struggling with breakout cables. This really started back at 4x10 gig circuits but then 4x100 really made the problem worse and 8x100 for the 800 gigs even worse. So these breakout cables, labeling, patch panel confusion—it all added up to deployment problems and delays in getting circuits brought up, which cost our customers money. We heard horror stories of deployment delays for something as simple as this patch panel and cabling exercise. So we came up with a solution. That’s what we do—we solve customers’ problems. Buffy: Solving problems in today's challenging landscape is definitely most important. Casey: One of the other things that we designed similarly—purpose-built—is the DAT100, our DarkStar Aggregation Transponder. The goal of this system is to give operators an option to extend the life of their 10G circuits that they're still supporting in the network. We designed the DAT100 to provide operators an efficient way to, instead of managing and running 10G down one channel, run 100G down that same channel and still support their 10G. I know Chad has a lot more about the design and the technical elements. Chad Lamb: Yeah, thanks Casey. The DAT100 is really unique, it’s layer 1 10G aggregation. What that means is we've done a purpose-built FPGA approach. It’s not a switch ASIC or router ASIC inside this. That results in about 10x improvement in latency and about a third of the power draw than a typical aggregation deployment. This has enabled our customers to go green and support their 10G circuits, while being much more spectrally efficient in putting the 100G down their fiber. Buffy: Thank you for giving us more details on the DAT100. Sounds like you created these solutions specifically to meet some of the pressing challenges within the industry for your customers. For sure. What trends are you seeing in the optical layer of the network? Casey: Yeah, absolutely. Honestly, we could talk about optical networks for hours, but I’ll go ahead and focus on just a couple of the main trends we’re seeing right now. I’ll break it into two pieces. We’re looking at how we can provide operators and network designers with a solution that will give them the capability to more easily offer spectrum, as well as wavelengths, to their customers. They want it to be easy to provide services. So we’re in the process of designing a solution that helps solve that problem at layer 1. And the other thing we’re actively looking at is 800G. How are we deploying that? Who needs it and when do they need it? I’m going to pass it over to Chad to tease a little more on our new products. Chad Lamb: Thanks, Casey. Flex Grid solutions are not new, but the efficiencies we’ve provided with this new product—a WSS-based solution—give us the ability to provide customers with 800G support today, even if they’re not deploying 800G for a while. The solution integrates amplifiers, optical channel monitoring, all the statistics needed to operate the system—and we do it in a way that the typical network engineer can deploy, manage, and control. We hear a lot from customers about the complexities of existing solutions. They don’t understand how to operate them and have to go to their vendor for additional services and support. What they really want is to control their own network. That’s what we’re providing with this new solution. And it will be 800G ready—so when they’re ready to move to the next level, it’ll be very easy for them to do so. Buffy: Well, thank you so much, Chad, for giving us some insights and a preview of the new solution there. Is there anything else you want to add, Casey? Casey: Yeah. I’ll leave you with this: XKL is focused on helping empower operators and designers to build the networks of the future. But we’re also very focused on supporting them today—the designers, the operators, the network engineers—with the problems they’re facing now. And we’re having a ton of fun doing that at XKL. Buffy: Well, having fun is the most important while you're working so hard to solve these challenges for your clients. Casey, where can viewers go if they want to learn more about XKL? Casey: Yeah, absolutely.

That 100G is the sweet spot today and comes cost per bit in your routers and switches. So that's gonna be our main focus. We're gonna look at the pros and cons of separating your equipment, layer 1 through layer 3 and talk about what that means. Why is it cost effective to do that? Then we're gonna talk about IP over DWDM, leveraging that, figuring out what the pros and cons are, and seeing if that's an approach that is good for your organization. After that, we'll go into the costs for transceivers – those are the most expensive components in your networking equipment. So our focus here is gonna be on transceiver costs, and then we'll talk about the cost for transporting multiple 100G. Then we'll follow this up with making sure you understand what you need to do to be 800G ready in your networks if you're not already. And that will be very helpful for you to understand as you invest for the future. Chad Lamb: So what are your options for transporting a couple of your 100G – multiple 100G? Your first option is just have lots of fiber so you can have very short reach optics, and your routers and switches, and have one pair of fiber per 100G circuit. If you're fiber rich, that's a great way to do it. It’s the lowest cost in terms of transceivers, but not everybody's got the resources to have lots of fiber. So the second option is pretty popular if your organization is able to do this: using IP over DWDM. This is where you install the DWDM transceivers right in your switch or your router. You have to have some understanding of the optics. You have to buy mux/demux filters, amplifiers, etc. The DWDM transceivers are expensive, much more so than the short reach stuff that's in option one. But it is what you have to do if you want to try to put more 100G circuits on a single fiber pair. And then, of course, there's the optical engineering expertise that you need in order to be able to do this. And then lastly, the more traditional approach would be to use transponders and muxponders. There are more boxes to manage when you have to do that, when you go that route, so that would be a drawback for going with transponders and muxponders. But the transceivers are still the same cost as in option two, and then arguably it's a higher capex, but a lower opex than IP over DWDM. So that, that really depends. It's subjective on the types of transponders you buy and what your organization's capabilities are in terms of being able to support IP over DWDM. Chad Lamb: So why would you want to consider separating the layers? For DWDM, the critical component is the transceivers, they have a life cycle of at least 7 years – typically 10 years. So that means the usefulness of that component is gonna last a long time. Whereas if you look at a switch, those are basically printed, right? They're on a dye that they can lower the line-width and in about 1.5-3 years, you're gonna get a new generation of a switch chip. And then for a custom ASIC, that's the requirement for a router, you've got a longer lifecycle for the chip, because that's a full custom chip. But you can expect that a router with that inside will be about a 3-5 year life cycle. So that doesn't mean that you're gonna get rid of these things in 7 years, 1.5 years or 3 years, it's just the next generation of that thing will be ready in that time. Chad Lamb: So for example, let's say you buy a transponder – that's a layer 1 product. That also includes switching capabilities – a layer 2 feature. That transponder should be deployed for at least 7 years because of the cost of the transceivers, and you're gonna have to do that to recoup your investment. But in that same timeframe, there'll be about 3 generations of switching technology improvement. Not a big deal if you're not worried about looking to capture the latest generation of switch chips, but there is a cost-improvement and power-draw improvements. There's a lot of reasons that you want to go to the next generation switches, but you're not going to be able to because you combined layer 1 and layer 2. Chad Lamb: Let's just talk briefly about the pros and cons of IP over DWDM. This is a pretty popular approach that people go with for trying to improve their capacity or extend the reach of their network. So some of the pros: you don't need to buy muxponder/transponder equipment. I think that's the main draw. Why buy an extra box if you don't need to do that? So therefore there are few boxes in your network and fewer boxes to manage, fewer boxes to get certified on – lots of advantages there. And it's less rack space, power, cooling. There's less stuff.The capex is going to be less when you consider that you don't need to buy the transponder. You do need to buy some of the other capabilities that DWDM networks require. But generally speaking, it would be a little bit lower in capex. DWDM capable switches and routers will be needed. So what does that mean? You have to be able to tune the lasers. You have to be able to get the information out of the lasers from the operating system. And a lot of switches and routers are not capable of doing that, so you have to be careful on what you deploy for switches and routers. What are the cons? Well, it's higher opex, so your staff is going to need to be able to figure out how to do this deployment. They're gonna have to do a little bit of optical engineering, they're going to have to figure out what kind of parts to buy. There's a lot more opex overall to keep track of the wavelengths and everything else that might be going on in your network. And that segues into scaling difficulties. So as you add more capacity to an IP over DWDM solution, it gets harder and harder to scale. Management of layer one equipment, transceivers in particular, is a weak point in many of the switch and router software packages that are out there. They're not used to all of the telemetry and the information that's available in the DWDM lasers. And so you're left with an inadequate amount of information to monitor your network. And there's no demarcation point. So this can be important for a lot of different industries where you need a hard line in the sand between the outside point and the inside point, that would be your demarc point. And then there are difficulties if you're trying to integrate other aspects of layer 1, other features like, BERT, switching protection, and OTDR features. These are not easily integrated with an IP over DWDM solution. Chad Lamb: So let's talk a little bit about cost. The DWDM transceivers are the biggest cost component in your network. So this is an important item to look at, and it's pretty straightforward to compare these components. So if you're just doing non DWDM networking, a 100G LR 10 kilometer reach is about $2.50 per gigabit. Iif you need to go further than 10 kilometers, you can do the ZR4. That's about $25 per gigabit. So these are obviously your first choice. You want to be able to reduce your costs, but this is not DWDM. You can't go any further or expand any more on your 100G circuits with those transceivers. So next you get into the DWDM transceivers. So we're looking at the coherent devices. The next one on the list there is the 100G coherent. And these are all 2025 prices, so these are relative numbers. Your mileage will vary depending on your sources for your transceivers, vendor A versus vendor B. Are you buying it from a non-preferred country with high tariffs or are you importing it – or not importing it at all and buying it directly in the US? So these numbers are really relative to your organization. But a 100G coherent is gonna be about $5,000. So that price drop jumps up to $50 per gigabit – that's starting to get up there. But then if you get to the 400G stuff, the 4x100G coherent ZR+, and the brights, you can see how the cost per bit is really dropping significantly. And when you get to the 800G, which will be readily available this year, now the price is really starting to get down there where it makes that a very attractive solution. So how can you take advantage of this pricing? In the top diagram, that's an IP over DWDM example. So in this example, we're transmitting 4x100G using the 100G coherent transceivers. So you can see in this example, the cost of just the transceivers is about $100 per gigabit. Plus you’ve got your equipment, of course, the mux/demux filters, but just for the transceivers. If you go to a transponder-type solution, then the price drops significantly, because you're able to take advantage of the fact that transponders can, can use the 400G optics and you can aggregate multiple 100G that way. So it's really something to think about as you grow and expand that this capability is not gonna happen unless you buy a 400G router board or 800G router board. Those are very expensive. Also note that if you did go with the IP over DWDM solution here. You still need to buy DWDM-capable switches and routers for that approach. But I think this clearly shows the cost per gigabit is significant if you go with a transponder-type solution. Chad Lamb: Now, let's just talk about what it would take to make sure you're 800G ready. So if you were to go with either IP over DWDM or the transponder/muxponder solution, you want to make sure you're buying and putting in the infrastructure you need to be 800G-ready. So the main components that you have to be aware of are the filters that are going into your network, the amplifiers, and if you have them, dispersion compensation modules. We'll talk briefly about that, but dispersion compensation is not needed for coherent transmission. So if you have those in your network you really wanna get them out to be able to take advantage of 400G and 800G. On the filter requirements, it comes down to the bond rate of the technology – the rate the data is actually moving. And this just summarizes it. I'm not gonna go into the details here on what this all means, but suffice it to say that the right column there is telling you what size filters you better have in your network if you want to be 100G ready, 400G ready, or 800G ready. And this is showing an example of if you were to use what's called a flex grid filters. These are programmable WSSs or ROADMs. You can really jam more data into your fiber and it’s much more spectrally efficient, a much more efficient use of your fiber to try to transport your signals down. So in the top example, that's using 75G channels.Those are a hundred gig ready channels. And the next example, if you were to try to be 400G or 800G ready you have to have wider channels. And so you have fewer that you can get down that fiber. But with a flex grid, you can mix and match your data rates and be much more efficient in your use of the fiber. And those are the basic considerations.  [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" background_enable_color="off" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_testimonial url_new_window="on" portrait_url="https://xkl.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image1.png" quote_icon="off" quote_icon_color="#007FE0" quote_icon_background_color="#FFFFFF" font_icon="G||divi||400" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" background_color="#eaeaea" link_option_url="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-lamb-a6698610" global_colors_info="{}"]Chad Lamb, Chief Systems Architect Chad currently serves as the Chief Systems Architect at XKL, helping customers design DWDM network topologies tailored to their specific needs.

In this series, we will interview key executives from the broadband and optical industry segments about new and emerging trends in each industry segment. And now onto the episode. Sean Buckley: Hello, welcome to Light Wave and BTR Broadband Paul's podcast. I'm your host, Sean Buckley, Editor in Chief of Light Wave, and BTR. Today we have two optical networking experts. We're gonna talk about some really great innovations at XKL. Joining me is Chad Lamb, Chief Systems Architect at XKL. Along with him is Darren Yuet, Marketing Manager for XKL. Welcome, Chad and Darren to the program. Chad Lamb: Thanks for having us, Sean. Appreciate it. Sean Buckley: Yeah. All right. So here we go. With more interest in disaggregated approaches to network hardware current trends and management, what should businesses prioritize when evaluating their options? Chad Lamb: Yeah, Sean. The disaggregated approach is really popular these days. It allows you to really optimize your purchases and make your decisions in terms of getting the best solution for that aspect of your network. It allows you to separate out and compartmentalize different aspects of your network. And so a disaggregated approach, as you said, is really popular these days. The problem that is happening though is disaggregated management comes along with that. Software and the management of this hardware is oftentimes an afterthought. People are very much focused on design investigations. Designing a good, robust network, looking at features and capabilities — whether it's Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3 — and the management aspect of it is left to the end. It's not as important in the initial investigations and and testing. Many people get caught up in the feature set at Layer 1. For network engineers, that's always their biggest challenge, and they tend to focus on bandwidth and data rate and what are the flex-grid capabilities and ad-drop, and all these great features. But the ability to manage and control that, it becomes a problem once they realize where they're at. So their management philosophy that they currently have employed with their existing equipment, the switches or routers, servers, et cetera oftentimes does not work well when they try to integrate the optical layer equipment. So when you're choosing your vendors, it's important to consider the entire ecosystem, the entire environment, not just the hardware and your hardware requirements and distances and reach and growth and capacity. But also — are you gonna be able to manage this equipment? How are you gonna be able to control your network and control your own destiny? We hear from customers that they really are at the mercy of their vendors in some respects because they don't know what to do in certain situations. They have to call up, get support, have somebody come out and help them with the problem. And network engineers really don't want to have to rely on outside capabilities and skillset in order to to manage their stuff. And this can be a problem, not just with lower-end equipment. Maybe you're buying something for very special use case and it's a small piece of your network, it's not an integral part of things from your network standpoint. But these things really proliferate all the way up into the upper echelons of your network as well. Very high end transport gear, for example. The management aspect of this is often siloed. And one example of that, if you consider like an IP over DWDM solution, where you have network engineers taking the pluggables and putting them right in their router, they're then forced or have to consider how are they gonna provide the amplification, the filtering, the flex-grid filters and these other components that go along with building up the rest of their network. Many of these things come with a web interface for management or some JavaScript things that just don't work well with their existing management environment and their management philosophy. Sean Buckley: Darren, you wanna add anything? Darren Yuet: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I think one more aspect of that when procuring equipment is just to do a internal audit when introducing new software, just to make sure it's scalable across your network, but doing that within a controlled environment at first. That means revisiting your conditional automations just to make sure those aren't affected. Another thing to consider is user and role management as well, especially when certain permissions and access are usually given to specific users that have moved on to different parts of the org or are out of the organization. So having good ownership of coverage even at layer one when changes aren't as frequent. It's always good to be able to stress-test your team and your equipment to ensure that the environment is healthy. One way to get ahead of this is to proactively ask for a mid file, for example, from your vendor just to see if their software's based in SMP, and you can test compatibility ahead of time. Sean Buckley: Chad, can I come back to something? You talked a little bit about IP over DWDM. Where is the market with that? I'm actually gonna talk to a carrier tomorrow about this topic, but how is that evolving from the XKL perspective? You mentioned some interesting challenges I know that people are grappling with, but there's also benefits too. Chad Lamb: Yeah, it is a double-edged sword. The pluggables, there's a lot more common specifications at the higher data rates now when you get 400G ZR specification they did a pretty good job of defining what is needed to support that that kind of capability, so you have multi-vendor solutions out there so you're not locked into a single transceiver vendor, for example. And 800G is similarly positioned where, for the baseline ZR interfaces, you'll be able to support a common interface that will allow multi-vendor interoperability. And so if your switch and router can support the footprint — the power consumption, tuning, a lot of the telemetry that these devices, these various complex devices, that have an awful lot of data like prefect post-effect counters, a lot of different things that you wanna monitor and manage, and if your switch and router can step up and handle all of these aspects of the pluggables — then the next step is okay, so now what do you do to combine all the channels that you're gonna have with this and amplify? How are you gonna deal with, do you want flex grid? You can buy that. Basically a WSS-type mux/demux. So they're used to dealing with their switch and their router, and they're managing now. They can get some optical stuff out of  their switch and their router, they can start using these pluggables. But then they go to a whole different management environment, to look at, monitor, and manage the amplifiers and the tunable filters or whatever the aspects of the DWDM network that they have to build on their own. So IP over DWDM has its use cases but it doesn't scale well. So if your channel count is modest and your data rates are modest you can really take advantage of not using a muxponder or transponder. And as long as you can manage the rest of it, it's a reasonable approach that people can go with. It's got a lot of dependencies. Like I said, if you get a 400 pluggable, does your router allow you to tune that? Does your router give you all of the telemetry that this device is providing? And so that's another key aspect of this and you gotta be aware of it. Sean Buckley: Interesting, that's for sure. I'm gonna come back to the disaggregated approaches to the network hardware. How do those apply to network operators who have outsourced their management in terms of software and on the disaggregated side? Darren Yuet: At least in my conversations with network engineers, in an ideal world, they still wanna manage their own equipment in-house. They don't want to have to call their equipment provider to get support even on minor issues. I guess the benefit of outsourcing your network management is that it mitigates risk and you don't have to dive deep into the GUI or be aware of any software that you're not familiar with, your team's not familiar with. So that comes at the cost of paying for that outside help through these support contracts. When a problem does arrive you still have to be in contact with that third party team to diagnose and resolve an issue and sometimes the timing is never right with those, so they become unpredictable. But in our experience when support isn't outsourced, our own customers have mentioned they really only interact with Layer 1 equipment at configuration and then during regular maintenance windows. That means that you can go months or years without using those GUIs provided by vendors, so if a GUI is unintuitive or overly complex, it becomes really time consuming and frustrating for a team that's short staffed especially if those changes still require going into the CLI or the NMS if it's not found in the GUI. That feedback definitely influenced our decision to offer a CLI versus a GUI. So the interface looks and feels like a network box, like a router or a switch. So that engineers can make changes on the fly and it integrates right up into their NMS like Cacti, OpenNMS, IOS all of that managed through SNMP. Sean Buckley: Keeping things smooth.  Okay, great. Chad Lamb: Yeah and the other side of that, Sean, I ust wanna interject here for a second. Network Engineers are oftentimes a little afraid of this spooky Layer 1 stuff. They don't necessarily understand the optics, they don't understand how the light goes down the fiber, they know some of the basics. And managing these components that build your optical layer and your DWM transport can be a daunting task to them. And so that's why it's really important, as Darren mentioned, the CLI, for example, is very router-like. That's great, right? You always have that foundation to work at. That doesn't mean you're gonna be there very often, but knowing that when that emergency arises, when all else fails, you need to be able to get down to the bare bones of the box and do something. And so having that familiar CLI underneath all of this really gives the Network Engineer the confidence he needs to say, 'Hey, I can do this. I can manage this gear. It's not voodoo. It's not magic. And I don't need to be an optical physicist to be able to solve my problems.' Sean Buckley: Yeah. Making it easy and seamless, sure. What are some of the complexities that service providers underestimate when designing a network? And I think a lot of our discussion is leading into that here, but do you both wanna take that on? Chad Lamb: Yeah, that's a great question. Outages obviously are the top of the list, right? Networks are designed to handle problems. They're designed from the beginning to to work around issues. Things happen. Hardware fails. Backhoes take out fiber, right? Being able to plan for that is really important. And part of our approach to DWDM and providing solutions to customers is to consult with them and discuss with them these things. They don't necessarily know all of the components make up or can be in their optical network. They've heard of an OTDR, their fiber provider will give them an OTDR result when they lease the fiber, but they don't necessarily understand that they can get that same feature in the integrated XKL solution, where if you do have that fiber break, the OTDR is just gonna run automatically and instantly deliver a trap. It'll send you a text message, whatever you need, whatever is your operating mode for management. And it will give them that report instantly, and then they can start diagnosing and understanding, right? They can send their team, dispatch them out to that location, address the problem, get things up and running again. Same thing with optical protection switching. This is a pretty common function at the optical layer, and oftentimes it's approached as a disaggregated solution. When you aggregate it, when you integrate it all in, and you do that under the same management plane, that allows for the Network Engineer to easily take advantage of that feature, understand what it does, and and be aware and prepared for when that fiber does get cut. And the OPS switches over, uses the backup path, and he gets all the telemetry information he needs to deploy his team, to figure out what needs to happen next. So it's not just these great hardware features that are important to help providers have a robust network and make sure their customers don't go down. They need to empower themselves to be able to manage this equipment too. So this part, the network design part, which we really help them out with and we give them this guidance like, 'Hey, you got this OTDR feature, you got this OS feature integrated, this is how works. This is how we mitigate some of your concerns about the failure modes.' Some customers, they want have redundant equipment all the way up. Pairs of switches, pairs of routers, pairs of Layer 1 stuff, pairs of fibers, pairs of everything. That's one end of the scale. And you have some people on the other end of the scale, they don't even have a pair of fibers. They have a single strand of fiber. So you really need to work with your customer closely to let them know what are their options and how can they design a robust network that they can manage and control. Sean Buckley: Because a smaller telco versus let's say a bigger customer, a big telco or a large cable company. Or a small, independent, I don't know, let's take an electric CO-OP getting into fiber to the home, or whatever it may be. All of those are different kinds of networks and they all have different topologies and different needs. I guess trying to understand the different nuances is what you guys are talking about, giving them that visibility. How is XKL working with your service provider customers to solve these problems that both of you have laid out? Let's talk a little bit about that. Darren Yuet: Yeah, absolutely. As Chad was alluding to earlier we see a wide range of requirements and resources that companies dedicate to their networks, larger companies, as you said, Sean, like they have dedicated Optical Network Engineers, most likely who they can rely on as subject matter experts for their network architectures. Some Tier 2, Tier 3 service providers simply don't have the human resources to learn DWDM to the extent that they need to to make these critical decisions, so XKL can help them on the design side and even if their network is already entirely built-out, XKL helps works through blockers and provide options. Because teams aren't really ever done building their networks or making enhancements, so the key from there is just avoiding extraneous or overkill solutions and understanding alternatives that they didn't know existed at the time. So an example of this is our work with Scatter Creek. They're a local rural ISP here in Washington State. They were evaluating different solutions, but they had a specific architecture in mind already so their network team wanted to manage it in-house 100%. And part of their philosophy was being fully responsible for it, being able to understand what the software does and solve problems internally. So we matched them with a solution that was simple enough to understand, but also configurable to his liking because he likes to tinker with his network and be able to set those traps and alerts as we mentioned earlier. And even in our onboarding, in our training with them they took that in stride with virtual training, online demos. And by the time deployment came around it was crickets, essentially. Our team was ramping up and waiting for their support calls, but they just never came. It was that easy, and they loved it. So the minimal training was enough. And, some vendors might quote, a five figure deployment cost for an onsite configuration, but we want to empower the engineers who wanna do it themselves to be able to do that, and it's extremely gratifying that we ended up saving them, I think, 40% on their operating expenditures, which they were able to pass down to other local Washingtonians. So very fulfilling to be able to help out our local communities. Sean Buckley: That's the very nature of the smaller independents. Trying to get things done and that's why they've been pioneers in things like fiber-to-the-home and broadband, etc., so that's great to see. Chad Lamb: Just for a moment here, if you push into that 40% OPEX number, what really that comes down to is the engineers have empowered themselves here. We've empowered them to now control their network. They can manage it. They can understand what's going on without having to call us up to come out and say, 'Hey we got this thing happening. I don't know what happened. What's going on here?' They can do it. So that OPEX is oftentimes overlooked because you've got this staff and they're working and how do you quantify those costs? By providing them this ability to keep the management plane out of these management silos so that you have an entire network here that's gotta work in concert. The Layer 3 equipment, Layer 2, Layer 1 — your servers, your sand servers, everything has to work together. And they need to be able to manage this stuff from a central facility or whichever way they like or prefer to manage it. And so that's where that OPEX comes from, changes at the optical layer, the DWDM layer, as we said, they're so infrequent that they happen maybe every couple months. Maybe every couple years, really. And so if you're a network operator and you deployed this stuff and a couple years go by and you need to make an adjustment, or you want to do a firmware update, or there's something you wanna, do you're reluctant to get in there because you're not sure you remember what to do. You do something infrequently, right? You forget. And but by making the management interface familiar — they're dealing with their switch, their router and their servers on a daily basis  — if we make things look like that equipment, but provide these robust DWDM capabilities, they can get in there every other year or whenever they need to, they're not concerned about it. It's very straightforward. They know that they'll be able to pick it up really quickly. So I think that's another aspect of the OPEX that's overlooked oftentimes. When you talk about this Layer 1 stuff, it's expensive. These lasers are expensive, all this stuff. But what about the OPEX? That's expensive too, when you really add it up. Sean Buckley: I look forward to maybe following up with that customer at some point, but great. Thanks both of you. I'd like to bring this to a conclusion, do a little wrap-up with some final thoughts and how you see things shaping up for 2025. I hear there's some good light coming out with some of this industry glut thawing out, but I'd love to just in general hear some final thoughts from both of you and see what we should expect next year. Chad Lamb: Well certainly at the optical layer, 800G is coming. That's a big lift for your router ports, but that's not expected to be in many customer networks in 2025. But the DWDM side of that will be available in early 2025. And you don't necessarily need to have an 800G port on your router to take advantage. You can do a lot of aggregation of your 100G. We can take 8 x 100G and feed it down an 800G on the lineside. So you get some spectral efficiencies, you get to take back some of that spectrum that you had to burn at the lower data rates. And so even though the 800G router ports are not gonna be ready in 2025 — or I shouldn't say they're not gonna be ready, they're out there. If you can stomach the cost, go for it — but 400G is still almost unobtainable for a lot of customers in terms of their router ports. So we've gotta get through 2025 with increased number of 400G router ports. Meanwhile, the 100G is really proliferating throughout the networks, so every layer, lots and lots of 100G. So at our layer, the optical layer, we're happy to transport that 100G, but we can do it more cost-effectively and go further aggregating that up to 400G and then soon 800G. So that's what I see happening in 2025 in terms of pluggables and support for higher data rate transmission. Sean Buckley: And Darren, over to you and we'll round out here. Darren Yuet: Absolutely. Just to piggyback off of what Chad was saying, we're not only looking at the bleeding edge here, but also finding opportunities for existing networks or networks that aren't seeing extreme or bigger leaps in bandwidth requirements and helping them, those types of customers, maximize their existing fiber utilization as well. We're still developing products for 10G. We're still looking at other opportunities to use DWDM in cross-connects and data centers, for example. There's a lot of opportunity, I think, well within the existing technologies, but just continuing to maximize our team and their expertise to help customers find ways to enhance their existing networks as well. Not just the bleeding edge application. Sean Buckley: For sure. And that reminds me of some other conversations we've had recently too. Great, I thank both of you and I look forward to talking to you more as we wrap up the end of 2024 and going into 2025 and spending more time with XKL and your customers. It's certainly a lot to talk about, but again, thanks both Darren and Chad for joining us today and happy holidays to everybody out there. Looking forward to seeing how things unfold as we move forward into 2025, I think it's gonna be an exciting year. Thanks again for your time and have a great afternoon.

Eliminating the transponder saves money, but there’s more to it than just a simple drop-in replacement. In this article, we dive into the costs, the impact on the network and network management, and the scaling of the IPoDWDM solution. We weigh the pros and cons to help you understand where and when IPoDWDM makes sense. What is IP Over DWDM? IPoDWDM combines IP switching/routing with DWDM (dense wave division multiplexing) optics. The idea is to install DWDM optical transceivers directly in the switch/router instead of the typical grey-optics transceivers. Add an external Mux/Demux filter, amplifiers, and dispersion compensation (if necessary), and traffic can now cross the city (or even the state) directly without the need for a transponder. Each router port is a channel, and single-mode fibers can support up to 192 DWDM channels, depending on data rate and channel passband requirements. In network architecture terms, IPoDWDM collapses the IP and optical networking layers. The router now has direct visibility into the health of optical links, so new strategies for bandwidth management and fault tolerance across sites can be implemented to optimize the converged network — not just the individual layers. A holistic approach improves performance metrics such as packet latency, utilization, and rerouting times. DWDM transceivers for router interfaces IPoDWDM is not new – the concept and its various implementations have been on the table for some twenty years. What’s new is the widespread availability of 100G and 400G transceivers, with 800G on the horizon, that effectively shrink the rack-mounted transponder into a small pluggable form factor that fits in a switch or router port. These DWDM transceivers are coherent and “colored,” meaning that the operating wavelength (or color) is tunable and not the standard 850/1310/1550 nm wavelengths of grey transceivers. By using a different wavelength (or channel) for each router interface and then combining all the interfaces with a Mux/Demux filter, multiple channels can be transmitted using only a single fiber pair. Higher-end switches and routers are often required for IPoDWDM, because they support the enhanced processing capabilities and advanced management features to handle the complexities of DWDM integration. Such features include: Cooling: DWDM transceivers generate more heat than grey transceivers and require sufficient cooling mechanisms within the switch/router to maintain optimal performance and extend its lifespan. Tuning: The transceivers need to be tuned to specific wavelengths. Tunable optics allow for dynamic adjustment of wavelengths as network demands change. Management: The switch/router management software must be able to interface with the transceiver's Digital Diagnostic Monitoring or CMIS (Common Management Interface Specification), which is the standard used by transceivers supporting 100G or greater data rates. DWDM transceivers have been available in the market for many years and come in a variety of form factors – OSFP, QSFP, QSFP28, and more. More recently in the past few years, transceivers for long-distance transmission based on the ZR/ZR+ standard have become available and require a QSFP28 (100G) or QSFP-DD (400G) port. Management Challenges IPoDWDM merges the IP and optical layers of the network, and hence the management model changes with the switch/router controlling the optics. This introduces several management challenges: Color Management: Managing multiple wavelengths directly in a switch/router increases complexity due to the need for precise wavelength assignment and continuous monitoring to prevent overlap and interference. This process requires robust software for real-time wavelength management. Example: If two data channels are mistakenly assigned the same wavelength, then one channel will not work and will be blocked by the Mux/Demux filter. Telemetry and Monitoring: Comprehensive monitoring tools are essential for maintaining network health. This includes reading a variety of counters, optical power level monitoring, OSNR (Optical Signal to Noise Ratio), eSNR (electrical Signal to Noise Ratio), a variety of optical link performance metrics, and robust event handling (alarms, traps, threshold-crossing alerts, etc.). However, not all switches/routers support the full suite of telemetry tools required for such detailed monitoring. This limitation would pose significant challenges for network teams lacking the resources to regularly review this data for events, traps, or for long-term trends in the data. Cost Considerations The cost dynamics of IPoDWDM can be attractive because less hardware is needed, and entry costs are lower. However, the savings are often marginal in the long-term and are contingent on specific network configurations and needs. Note that Mux/Demux filters, amplifiers, equalizers, and dispersion compensators are still necessary, depending on the topology and modulation techniques being used in the transceivers. Other features may also need to be added, like optical protection switching at the DWDM layer and integrated OTDR capabilities. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src="https://xkl.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IPoDWDMcostsavings.png" title_text="IPoDWDMcostsavings" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" header_2_font_size="18px" global_colors_info="{}"]Cost Structure An upfront purchase of a pluggable optics solution can result in significant savings compared to using dedicated DWDM optical transport equipment. The savings come from two main fronts: The elimination of transponders or muxponders. Instead of a full-featured OLS (optical line system), the optical transport equipment can be simplified to Mux/Demux filters and optical amplifiers. The intelligence now resides on the switch/router to manage the interfaces, links, and traffic. On the switch and router side, a higher-end model is required for IPoDWDM. If the switch or router needs to be upgraded, that cost should also be considered. DWDM transceivers are more expensive than grey transceivers, but the additional expense is more than offset by eliminating transponders. The reduced hardware requirement also means space and footprint savings, which can be important when rack space is limited. Breakeven Point IPoDWDM is cost-effective and manageable for networks with a relatively lower number of channels It is well suited for users with a manageable number of sites and a relatively stable network topology (i.e. without a constant stream of moves, adds, and changes). As the number of channels increases, management complexities grow, and incremental costs rise, making IPoDWDM less attractive. More DWDM channels also mean larger Mux/Demux filters. Depending on the filter technology, more channels mean more insertion loss, which in turn could mean more amplifiers and the need to actively manage these amplifiers. The specific breakeven point of how many channels or links beyond which IP over DWDM loses its competitiveness depends very much on the specific use cases and the legacy equipment that can be leveraged. In addition to the CapEx, the OpEx of IPoDWDM is higher than for transponder/muxponder solutions. More optical transport knowledge and training is needed for the IPoDWDM solution. The management aspect of IPoDWDM must also be considered. Wavelength management and amplifier controls and monitoring are often an afterthought, but should be addressed early on in the decision-making process. Licensing and Compatibility when using IPoDWDM with an OLS If an OLS is used instead of a Mux/Demux and amplifier, the OLS vendor may charge an additional licensing fee for carrying non-native wavelengths. When the wavelength originates from a DWDM transceiver instead of the vendor’s transponder, it is considered an alien wavelength. These alien wavelength licensing fees, in addition to port activation and software usage fees, can add to the overall cost and complexity of the network. Evaluating the total cost of ownership across a 5-year time horizon is essential. The upfront savings are significant but become diluted over time once annual fees are included. Ensuring compatibility between different types of equipment and DWDM optics is crucial for a seamless and scalable network. Selecting vendors with flexible and interoperable solutions can mitigate these issues. Scaling Up Can IP over DWDM effectively scale up to create a mesh backbone for your core routers? Effective solutions involve a combination of traditional DWDM components and advanced IPoDWDM technologies. Here are two solutions for scaling the optical transport network to support IPoDWDM: IPoDWDM With Mux/Demux Filters and Amplifiers This approach leverages the switches and routers for network intelligence. The optical transport equipment is streamlined and relatively static – its main job is to deliver data reliably across the fiber. If the Mux/Demux filters and amplifiers can be configured and managed by the same tools used for the switches/routers, then this approach can be scaled effectively. Full OTN (Optical Transport Network) At a certain scale, DWDM vendors can offer more comprehensive solutions. Having dedicated DWDM equipment allows the end user to support a wide range of DWDM optics, ensuring robust cooling of components, more comprehensive monitoring and control of the optical elements, and a complete end-to-end management solution for every aspect of the network. More network intelligence resides in the optical transport layer to perform functions such as switching, traffic grooming, and rerouting. This flexibility enables customers to scale their networks efficiently. Layer 1 optical protection and OTDR features are typically not available to IPoDWDM solutions. Integrate IPoDWDM with Ease Deploying an IPoDWDM solution can result in capital cost savings. Integrating DWDM optics directly into switches and routers introduces complexities in management and scalability problems. Organizations can make an informed decision about introducing IPoDWDM into their networks by understanding the technical drivers, cost considerations, and solutions that provide scalability. When considering a comprehensive DWDM solution, XKL provides flexible and robust solutions that facilitate the integration of IPoDWDM with traditional DWDM systems.

The Answer to Growing Data Demands & Network Expansion[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="||0px|||" global_colors_info="{}"]When you need to move a lot of data over long distances, you’ll need DWDM products and technology. Those undersea fiber cables connecting all the world’s continents? Middle-mile networks that serve as the internet on-ramp for remote or rural communities? Connecting your warehouse/factory to your office across the state, or across the country? All DWDM. Regardless of whether you are service provider or building your own optical network, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), is the foundation for transporting gigabit to terabit speeds over long distances. DWDM: Invented To Increase Capacity Before DWDM can be utilized, optical fiber infrastructure must exist between sites. Laying fiber cables is an expensive, capital-intensive undertaking that involves trenching, conduits, rights-of-way, and networking equipment operating in potentially harsh environments. For example, the Southern Cross Cable, with 3 fiber pairs between Sydney and Hawaii and 4 fiber pairs between Hawaii and the US West Coast, cost $1.5 billion to build in 2000. Nowadays, fiber is widely available and can be leased from a number of providers, further decreasing the cost to customers. Increasing bandwidth and capacity to maximize fiber investments, is therefore of utmost importance. Before DWDM, one strand of fiber optics supported a single wavelength (color) of light, or a single channel. This is similar to copper cables, where a pair of copper wires only supports a single channel. However, fiber provides the medium to propagate light and not electricity. By using different wavelengths of light, a single fiber can support a wide range of channels. For reference, many Internet Service Providers utilize equipment that can comfortably support 100G or 400G data rates over a single channel. Combining multiple channels at one end of the fiber (MUX) and splitting them back into separate channels at the other end (DEMUX) is called multiplexing. DWDM does this at the optical layer, not the packet layer. One wavelength may be carrying ethernet traffic between routers, whilst another carries Fiber Channel traffic between storage devices. For more complex network designs such as rings, meshes, and other topologies, Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (OADM) were developed. Modern implementations of this technology are the FOADM (Fixed OADM) and ROADM (Reconfigurable OADM). Wait, what About CWDM? Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) was introduced in the early 1980s, over a decade before DWDM became commercially available. The concept of multiplexing wavelengths is the same for both. As its name implies, Coarse has wider channel spacing, resulting in significantly less channel support in total relative to Dense. For CWDM, specifications are less stringent so lower cost lower performance optics can handle the job. However, optical amplifiers such as EDFAs (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) do not work due to the coarse (i.e. wide) channel spacings of CWDM. This limits its reach and restricts CWDM to local, short range links.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src="https://xkl.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/whydwdm.png" title_text="whydwdm" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="0px|||33px||" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_slider disabled_on="off|on|on" _builder_version="4.27.4" _dynamic_attributes="link_option_url" _module_preset="default" min_height="415.3px" custom_margin="-13px|||||" custom_padding="0px||0px|||" link_option_url="@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI3MzIifX0=@" link_option_url_new_window="on" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_slide button_link="@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI3MzIifX0=@" _builder_version="4.27.4" _dynamic_attributes="link_option_url,button_link" _module_preset="default" background_color="#8300E9" background_enable_color="on" link_option_url="@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI2MjYifX0=@" link_option_url_new_window="on" global_colors_info="{}" sticky_transition="on"][/et_pb_slide][/et_pb_slider][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]# # # About XKL Having been deployed and operational in optical networks for over 30 years, DWDM is a mature and proven technology.

Chad is the Chief Systems Architect at XKL and has traveled all the way from the Seattle area to join us today. This is his first time presenting at NANOG, and we are pleased to have him speaking with us. Welcome, Chad. Chad Lamb:Thank you, and thank you to the program committee for letting me present to you today. Congratulations—you’ve made it to the last talk of NANOG 92! Good job. I know many of you have traveled long distances to get here, and just as your bodies are adjusting to this time zone, you’re going to head right back. Sorry about that! Introduction Today, we’re going to discuss ROADM and FOADM. For those unfamiliar with these terms, I’ll provide a quick primer to get us started. I only have 30 minutes, and I can get a bit wordy, so I’ll move quickly through the basics. After that, we’ll focus on what we hear from customers—because, after all, this is about solving your problems. From there, I’ll dive into topologies where using a ROADM or FOADM might make sense and provide a comparison of these technologies. Finally, we’ll summarize when it makes sense to use a ROADM and when a FOADM is the better choice. Key Acronyms and Terms Let’s set the stage with a few key acronyms: WSS: Wavelength Selective Switch. CDC-F: Contentionless, Directionless, Colorless, Flex-Grid. These terms will come up frequently, so keep them in mind as we go. Customer Challenges We always want to address what you, the customer, are experiencing. Here are some common challenges we hear about regarding ROADM and FOADM deployments: For ROADM Deployments: Software Updates and Fixes: These can be disruptive, especially at Layer 1, where uptime is critical. Hardware Failures: While technology has improved, components like the WSS still face issues, and replacing them is complex. Vendor Lock-In: The WSS is proprietary across vendors, which makes interoperability difficult. Steep Learning Curve: Managing ROADM software and interfaces can be challenging for teams unfamiliar with the tools. Cost and Complexity: Balancing cost versus functionality is a significant consideration. For FOADM Deployments: Lack of Channel Balancing: Equalizing power levels across DWDM channels can be tricky. Cabling and Channel Pre-Planning: FOADM requires precise pre-planning and manual patching. On-Site Visits: Any changes—like adding or dropping channels—require a physical presence. Where Do FOADMs and ROADMs Fit? FOADMs and ROADMs are suitable for any network requiring add/drop functionality, except for simple point-to-point connections. Point-to-Point: No need for an OADM. Ring Topologies: ROADMs or FOADMs allow channels to express through intermediate sites without unnecessary equipment. Multi-Ring Networks: At interconnection points, like a site joining two rings, a ROADM is particularly useful to prevent single points of failure. Architectural Comparison: FOADM vs. ROADM FOADM Structure: Fixed filters (AWG, thin-film, etc.) determine channel routing. Channels: Add/drop channels require manual patching; once configured, changes are difficult. Pros: Simple, cost-effective, low power consumption. Cons: No remote reconfiguration, no channel balancing without external devices. ROADM Structure: Replaces fixed filters with Wavelength Selective Switches (WSS). Functionality: Software-programmable to add/drop or express channels. Supports colorless (any wavelength), directionless (east/west routing), and contentionless (no wavelength conflicts). Pros: Remote management, dynamic adjustments, and channel balancing. Cons: Higher cost, complexity, and power consumption. Key Considerations Channel Equalization: Equalizing power levels across channels ensures they meet transceiver power specifications. ROADMs handle this inherently via WSS, while FOADMs require external equalizers. Noise: Noise originates from amplifiers, filters, and nonlinear effects in the fiber. ROADMs tend to have higher insertion loss but allow finer control. Adjacent Channel Interference: FOADM filters generally offer better isolation (28–40 dB) than WSS in ROADMs (~25 dB). Power Consumption and Failures: FOADMs have no powered components, leading to fewer failures and lower OPEX. ROADMs consume more power and have active components that can fail.  [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src="https://xkl.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ROADMFOADMTable.png" title_text="ROADM:FOADMTable" _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" width="94.2%" custom_margin="|109px||||" custom_padding="|||0px||" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]Conclusion:FOADM is a simple, cost-effective solution for networks with static configurations. It is ideal for environments where manual adjustments are manageable, and cost is a primary concern. ROADM, on the other hand, excels in dynamic environments requiring remote reconfiguration, channel balancing, and advanced protection mechanisms. Ultimately, the choice between ROADM and FOADM depends on your network's complexity, operational needs, and budget.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_slider disabled_on="off|on|on" _builder_version="4.27.4" _dynamic_attributes="link_option_url" _module_preset="default" min_height="415.3px" custom_padding="0px||0px|||" link_option_url="@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI3MzIifX0=@" link_option_url_new_window="on" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_slide button_link="@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI3MzIifX0=@" _builder_version="4.27.4" _dynamic_attributes="link_option_url,button_link" _module_preset="default" background_color="#8300E9" background_enable_color="on" link_option_url="@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI2MjYifX0=@" link_option_url_new_window="on" global_colors_info="{}" sticky_transition="on"][/et_pb_slide][/et_pb_slider][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.27.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"]# # # About XKL XKL helps businesses of all sizes expand and reimagine their networks in innovative ways with built-to-order, cost-effective and easy-to-manage DWDM solutions.

Does it Benefit You?[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.25.2" _module_preset="default" header_2_font_size="18px" global_colors_info="{}"]Optical Networking Industry On paper, the $2.3 billion deal appears to be a win-win. Nokia has a strong market presence in Europe and Asia-Pacific, while Infinera’s home turf is the US. Infinera’s pluggable transceivers are well positioned in data centers, while Nokia’s optical line systems (OLS) have a significant installed base with telecom operators and service providers. The combined business would account for 20% of the global optical networking market, making it second to Huawei and on par with Ciena. “The combined businesses have a strong strategic fit given their highly complementary customer, geographic and technology profiles. With the opportunity to deliver over 10% comparable EPS accretion, we believe this will create significant value for shareholders,” said Pekka Lundmark, CEO of Nokia. Shareholders may be poised to benefit financially, but how about service providers and enterprises that deploy and operate optical networks? Will Nokia ‘pass on the savings’ to its customers? Vendor Lock-In Industry consolidation can be a good thing. Weaker and non-competitive vendors are weeded out, leaving a handful of stronger vendors to thrive. But the flip side of this is vendor lock-in: it’s already difficult to introduce new vendors into an optical network. The fewer the choices there are, the more customers become locked-in to their current supplier. And the larger your supplier is, generally the stronger their negotiating position is, the longer it takes to get feature requests onto their roadmap, and the harder it is to get their attention. Will History Repeat Itself? Besides size, geography plays a role in this acquisition. This deal effectively takes an American supplier out of the equation, with key decisions now made or approved by headquarters in Europe. Is history repeating itself? In 2006, France-based Alcatel acquired Lucent Technologies (home of Bell Labs, which has produced 10 Nobel Prize winners), the sole top tier American telecom supplier at the time. That deal made sense in an era of deregulation and rapid globalization. But the acquisition did not go as planned. After six consecutive quarters of losses and its stock price tumbling by half, CEO Patricia Russo (from Lucent) and Chairman Serge Tchuruk (from Alcatel) resigned in July 2008. Differences between American and French business cultures were widely cited as a key reason for the failure. The New York Times described “a trans-Atlantic culture clash” and Nomura financial analyst Richard Windsor said, “We hope that a new CEO will be able to bridge the cultural divide between the Americans and the French and get all sides pulling together.” Alcatel-Lucent did not manage to turn a profit until 2011. Due to product overlap and financial pressures, several products and product lines (plus related staff) were discontinued or sold off. In 2016, it was acquired by Nokia. Open Networks Interoperability means that even when you mix and match equipment in your network from different vendors, it works. Take Wi-Fi as an example: your routers, range extenders, mobile phones, and smart home devices all come from different vendors, but they all communicate over Wi-Fi and work together (well, for the most part). For optical networks, multi-vendor interoperability is driven by industry standards and associations such as MSA (multi-source agreements) for transceivers and OpenROADM for optical nodes. They increase the number of qualified suppliers, and thus help to drive down costs and prevent vendor lock-in. However, this deal may potentially increase vendor lock-in by reducing the supply of optical modems, chipsets and components available to the industry. Infinera supplies its parts to other vendors, but Nokia and Ciena do not, as they have vertically integrated business models. Only time will tell whether Nokia continues to supply Infinera parts to other vendors, or decides to only supply itself and enhance its competitive advantage.

DarkStar muxponders can now offer fully integrated Mux/Demux filters, EDFAs (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers) and OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers), reimagining long-standing network procurement, management and expansion protocols to create easier, more cost-effective, built-to-order results. XKL’s Darkstar products are deliverable within a 1U or 2U configuration based on individual requirements — with no hidden licensing fees. With these innovative new configuration options, XKL dramatically reduces CAPEX expenditures for ISPs, data centers and organizations of any size. Furthermore, this ability to combine and configure solutions that closely align with customer needs enhances ease across network procurement, deployment, management and future growth. These advantages, unique to XKL, ensure network engineers get exactly what they need and nothing they don’t — putting the choice and control back in the hands of the operators with a network solution that is truly built to meet individual business requirements. Traditionally, when customers need to add additional filters, amplifiers or other components to their optical muxponder or transponder systems, they are met with a range of challenges. Either providers don’t have those capabilities, require the customer to architect those upgrades themselves or charge the customer for a la carte integrations. These conventional procurement methods can be prohibitive to small and mid-sized organizations that struggle to keep costs low, require additional expertise or want to avoid unnecessary features. With this product, XKL offers customers fully integrated and easily expandable options with no licensing fees — all backed by collaborative, consultative support. When a customer needs to expand, additional transponders or muxponders can be plugged into the existing system instead of adding amplifiers or new filter packs, making growth easy. These offerings are also stackable and compact to deliver strong optical networking results with less equipment to manage over a smaller footprint, delivering greater control, power usage efficiency and ease of use on a cost-sensitive business model. “This improvement removes barriers that organizations typically face when expanding their DWDM networks. For example, before this integration, customers were required to run an optical muxponder and a mux/demux amplification system separately. Now, customers simply need to acquire XKL’s optical muxponder to get the same results, unlocking significant advantages for ease of operation, scalability and more,” comments Chad Lamb, Chief Systems Architect for XKL. “Of course, we still allow customers to run their network items separately for more filter and amplifier flexibility. But that underscores exactly what this new offering is about: choice — and the customer’s right to get exactly what they need without being forced into one-size-fits-all frameworks. We’re directly empowering businesses of all shapes and sizes to build more robust optical network solutions for their individual futures.” XKL has been delivering 30+ years of powerful optical networking solutions, putting its industry-leading experience and consultative care to work for the full spectrum of customers’ advanced requirements. With a focus on delivering the very best of open, easy-to-use, built-to-order and cost-effective DWDM technology systems, XKL is known for helping a wide variety of organizations open new digital doors and leverage game-changing fiber optic networking solutions. XKL will be onsite at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, held October 16-19 in Denver, Colorado, at Booth #550. The company will also attend NANOG 89 in San Diego on October 16-18.

amplifier solution that extends the reach of a network. High gain and low noise stem from its multi-stage amplifier design. And as with the rest of the XKL product line, the DUA is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DUA supports up to 4 fiber pairs (lines). Each Line is independent, configured separately. The DUA system is configurable, but able to integrate the required components to create a metro, regional, or long-haul optical network, including Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), Raman Amplifiers, passive tilt and equalization filters, OTDR, as well as Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCMs). DCMs are passive, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based filters that provide the necessary dispersion compensation for any customer fiber type, and are typically required for transmission systems using direct detect transceivers. The DUA system is available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack units (2U) of space and typically uses under 90 watts of power. Easy to integrate and operate, there is no need for specialized optical engineers to ensure network optimization.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

amplifier solution that extends the reach of a network. High gain and low noise stem from its multi-stage amplifier design. And as with the rest of the XKL product line, the DLA is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DLA system integrates all the required components to create a metro, regional, or long-haul optical network, including Erbium- Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), Raman Amplifiers, active or passive tilt and equalization filters, OTDR, as well as Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCMs). DCMs are passive, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based filters that provide the necessary dispersion compensation for any customer fiber type, and are typically required for transmission systems using direct-detect transceivers. The DarkStar Line Amplifier system fits into 2 rack units (2U) of space and typically uses under 90 watts of power. Easy to integrate and operate, there is no need for specialized optical engineers to ensure network optimization. The DLA includes a Mid Stage access port on the front panel. This allows support for add/drop or North/South routes.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

DarkStar Mux/Demux featuring integrated amplification and protection switching options. As with the rest of the XKL product line, the DMD-A is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DMD-A offers an array of optional integrated features for optimal network flexibility and manageability. It aggregates and provides monitoring capabilities for a mix of 1G through 800G technologies, resulting in greater control and scalability. The DMD-A provides a variety of filter options including 12, 48, or 96-channel Mux/Demux with 4-band or 6-band filter, all of which allow for point-to-point or east/west configurations. There is support for up to four Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) and 1 Raman Amplifier, depending on other installed options. The DMD-A also includes an integrated optical switch for path protection, as well as Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCMs). DCMs are passive, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based filters that provide the necessary dispersion compensation for any customer fiber type, and are typically required for transmission systems using direct-detect transceivers. The DMD-A can serve as an integral part of an XKL network solution or can inter-operate with any optical networking equipment that utilizes the standard ITU grid with 50GHz, 100GHz, or 200Ghz channel spacing. Along with reduced power consumption, the DarkStar Mux/Demux is compact in size—available in either 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. Easy to integrate and operate, there is no need for specialized optical engineers to ensure network optimization.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

As with the rest of the XKL product line, the DMD-P is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DMD-P is a passive device (i.e., not requiring power or cooling) that aggregates and provides monitoring capabilities for a mix of 1G through 400G technologies, resulting in greater control and scalability. The DMD-P provides a variety of filter options including 48-channel or 96-channel Mux/Demux, or 4-band or 6-band filter, all of which allow for point-to-point or east/west configurations. Offering the same optical filters as the DMD-A but without the DMD- A’s amplification capabilities, the DMD-P device can serve as an integral part of an XKL network solution or can inter-operate with any optical networking equipment that utilize the standard ITU grid with 50GHz or 100GHz channel spacing. The DMD-P requires only 1 rack unit (1U) of space. Easy to integrate and operate, there is no need for specialized optical engineers to ensure network optimization. Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

global_colors_info="{}"]The DSM10-5R is part of XKL's DarkStar DWDM Muxponder family of products and is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DSM10-5R provides 1G - 10G services through ten softconfigurable channels—set to 5 channels East, 5 channels West. These systems include optical amplifiers for extending network reach, filters, protection solutions, and other optical components that are required for any optical network. A network based on DSM10-5R systems can grow to 40 channels (400G) by adding the DarkStar Mux/Demux (DMD), making them ideal for point-to-point and rings, data center interconnect, as well as for those who are unsure about future bandwidth requirements. DSM10-5R systems install in under an hour and require only 1 rack unit (1U) of space. A typical DSM10-5R uses between 66 and 83 watts of power, and has a data propagation latency of 20 nanoseconds (ns) per system. The DSM10-5R is a DWDM appliance. As such, network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. All the complexities of building an optical network are handled by the DSM10-5R system, leaving network administrators with confidence in their deployments.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

global_colors_info="{}"]The DSM10-10 is part of XKL's DarkStar DWDM Muxponder family of products and is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DSM10-10 provides 1G - 10G services through ten softconfigurable channels. These systems include optical amplifiers for extending network reach, filters, protection solutions, and other optical components that are required for any optical network. A network based on DSM10-10 systems can grow to 40 channels (400G) by adding the DarkStar Mux/Demux (DMD), making them ideal for point-to-point and data center interconnect, as well as for those who are unsure about future bandwidth requirements. DSM10-10 systems install in under an hour and require only 1 rack unit (1U) of space. A typical DSM10-10 uses between 66 and 83 watts of power, and has a data propagation latency of 20 nanoseconds (ns) per system. The DSM10-10 is a DWDM appliance. As such, network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. All the complexities of building an optical network are handled by the DSM10-10 system, leaving network administrators with confidence in their deployments.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

scalable growth. These systems enable customers to soft-configure the aggregation of 1G - 10G services, including optical amplifiers for extending network reach, filters, protection solutions, and other optical components that are required for any optical network. A network based on DQM10-12 systems, 12x10G channels, can grow to 48 channels. One way growth is accomplished is by stacking DQT400 systems, and cabling to the expansion ports of the DQM10-12. This creates a solution of 10G and 400G DWDM channels. The DQM10-12 contains the Mux/Demux filters and amplifiers that are shared with the DQT400 systems. DQM10 systems install in under an hour and are available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. A typical DQM10 (i.e., 12 DWDM channels) uses 90 watts of power, and has a data propagation latency of 20 nanoseconds (ns) per system. The DQM10 is a DWDM appliance. As such, network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. All the complexities of building an optical network are handled by the DQM10 system, leaving network administrators with confidence in their deployments.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

global_colors_info="{}"]The DQM100 is part of XKL's DarkStar DWDM Muxponder family of products and is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DQM100 comes with either one or two 100G DWDM channels, each of which employs a tunable 100Gbps coherent CFP transceiver. These systems enable customers to soft-configure the aggregation of 10G Ethernet services. The DQM100 is an optical appliance, and as such, includes optical amplifiers and channel filters fully integrated and pre-configured at the factory. DQM100 systems are ready to grow up to 36 channels with the addition of a DarkStar DMD Mux/Demux. The DQM100 solution includes a powerful aggregation scheme based on statistical multiplexing. This approach to data aggregation optimizes channel utilization, provides bandwidth shaping controls, and gives the customer complete control over their data transport. Under the instantaneous demands of real-world internet traffic, statistical multiplexing leverages the statistics of real-time demand, allowing many more users to transmit their data packets over a shared channel than would normally be the case if a static aggregation approach, such as time-division multiplexing, were employed. As a result, statistical multiplexing can help lower the cost of building and maintaining an optical network. DQM100 systems install in under an hour and are available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. A typical DQM100 (i.e.,1 port) uses 164 watts of power. The DQM100 is a DWDM appliance. As such, network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. All the complexities of building an optical network are handled by the DQM100 system, leaving network administrators with confidence in their deployments.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

global_colors_info="{}"]The DQM400 is part of XKL's DarkStar DWDM Muxponder family of products, and is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. This system enables customers to soft-configure the aggregation of 100GE and 400GE services. Network managers only need to swap the client optics in order to migrate from 100GE to 400GE. There are no licensing fees or additional costs to enable the 400G channels. The DQM400-4 utilizes the latest pluggable coherent technologies to enable metro and long-haul connectivity for high-speed data networks. The DQM400-4 system installs in under 30 minutes and is available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. A network based on DQM400-1 systems, 1 400G channel, can grow to 12 channels. Growth starts by adding 3 more client and DWDM transceivers to the DQM400-1, making it a DQM400-4. Growth to 12 channels is accomplished by stacking DQT400-4 systems, and cabling to the expansion ports of the DQM400-4. The DQM400-4 contains the Mux/ Demux filters and amplifiers that are shared with the DQT400-4 systems. Network administrators can deploy and commission this system in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

global_colors_info="{}"] The DQT10 is part of XKL's DarkStar DWDM Transponder family of products and is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. These systems enable customers to soft-configure the aggregatation of 1G - 10G services, including optical amplifiers for extending network reach, protection solutions, and other optical components that are required for any optical network. An extension of the DQM10 family of DWDM systems, the DQT10 muxes waves outside of XKL's typical integrated chassis, thereby allowing network growth to 96 channels and augmentation of existing networks via alien wave injection. The DQT10 systems are factory configured for 120G, 240G, or 360G of transport, making them ideal for point-to-point applications, data center interconnect, as well as for those who are unsure about future bandwidth requirements. DQT10 systems install in under an hour and are available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. A typical DQT10 (i.e., 12 DWDM channels) uses 90 watts of power, and has a data propagation latency of 20 nanoseconds (ns) per system. Network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. All the complexities of building an optical network are handled by the DQT10 system, leaving network administrators with confidence in their deployments. Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.     [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="3_5" _builder_version="4.19.5" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="62dd67cd-5842-4456-8115-e1aa965a0abd" header_2_font="Montserrat|700|||||||" header_2_text_color="#FFFFFF" header_2_font_size="27px" max_width="500px" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Technical Features[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="default" text_text_color="#FFFFFF" text_font_size="18px" header_2_font="|700|||||||" header_2_text_color="#FFFFFF" header_3_text_color="#FFFFFF" global_colors_info="{}"]Integrated System Architecture: DWDM Solution.

architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. These systems enable customers to soft-configure the aggregation of 100GE and 400GE services. Network managers only need to swap the client optics in order to migrate from 100GE to 400GE. There are no licensing fees or additional costs to enable the 400G channels. The DQT400 utilizes the latest pluggable coherent technologies to enable metro and long-haul connectivity for high-speed data networks. DQT400 systems install in under 30 minutes and are available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. The DQT400 utilizes the DarkStar DMD Mux/Demux in order to aggregate up to 48 channels at 400G per channel, or 96 channels at 100G per channel, on a single fiber pair. Alternatively, the DQT400 can provide alien wave injection into an existing customer network. The DQT400 systems are fully tunable and allow for a customer to grow their network to 19.2Tb in 5U of rack space. A 12-channel DQT400, transporting 4.8Tb of bandwidth, uses only 470W. Network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. 1 Year hardware warranty Zero cost software updates Zero license fees Ultra-high Bandwidth, 1.6Tb per DQT400-4 system Highly scalable systems, stackable up to 4.8Tb connectivity Low-power, minimal cooling, and a compact (1U) footprint XKL’s DQT400 solution is fully capable of meeting the demands of today, with scalability to meet the network capacity requirements for the future.

With XKL, you get an innovative, open and easy-to-manage optical network solution that meets your exact needs with no ongoing licensing fees. Plus, future upgrades are a breeze.  [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.19.2" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_divider show_divider="off" _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="default" min_height="100px" min_height_tablet="100px" min_height_phone="10px" min_height_last_edited="on|phone" custom_margin="-54px|||||" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src="https://xkl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/DMD-A_XKL_Mux_Demux_Product.webp" alt="Animated gif describing Statistical Multiplexing and how it helps with data processing across fiber optic networks." title_text="DMD-A_XKL_Mux_Demux_Product" align="center" _builder_version="4.23.4" _module_preset="default" min_height="269.6px" custom_padding="3px||0px|||" border_radii="on|14px|14px|14px|14px" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="Feature" _builder_version="4.19.5" _module_preset="default" background_color="gcid-1bcf785a-50e1-437b-b09f-65567babc1de" custom_margin="-71px|||||" custom_padding="0px||50px|||" locked="off" collapsed="on" global_colors_info="{%22gcid-1bcf785a-50e1-437b-b09f-65567babc1de%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}"][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="|100px||100px|false|false" custom_padding_tablet="|100px||100px|false|false" custom_padding_phone="|5px||5px|false|false" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="3209f9d3-a7aa-4219-a629-73e71a2a6159" header_text_align="center" header_2_text_align="center" custom_margin="||10px||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"]DWDM Capabilities [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.24.0" _module_preset="a866673f-2391-48fa-a15c-ea11e9b27c09" text_text_color="#FFFFFF" text_font_size="18px" custom_margin="|10px||10px|false|false" global_colors_info="{}"]All of XKL's DWDM capabilities — spanning transponders, mux/demux filters, amplifiers, OTDR, and more — can be configured into a single compact design (1U or 2U), keeping your CAPEX expenditures low.  Transponders & Muxponders DarkStar transponders and muxponders are the backbone of streamlined DWDM solutions.  Our systems reliably drive data transmission, from 1G to 400G, with ultra-low latency while keeping cost-effectiveness in mind. Featuring state-of-the-art components, our DWDM solutions are built to meet your needs today while setting the stage for seamless expansion and upgrades tomorrow.  Mux/Demux Filters Elevate your network infrastructure with XKL multiplexing and demultiplexing filters.  Combine anywhere from 2 to 96 channels into a single fiber pair, optimize bandwidth utilization and reduce the need for additional physical connections. XKL integrates filters with low insertion loss and high adjacent channel isolation to improve the performance of any DWDM network. Equalizers  XKL’s active or passive equalizer integrations ensure a consistent power across multiple channels and balance channel/spectrum power levels. Passive equalizers employ fixed components and offer static compensation suitable for most metro area network applications. Active equalizers use electronic components to continuously adjust optical signals in real-time and are more beneficial when using amplification to span long distances. Our team of specialists will assist you in finding the optimal solution tailored to your needs. Transceivers XKL offers a wide range of transceiver types, from short-reach gray devices to long-reach coherent DWDM devices.  This allows us to provide the most cost-effective solutions. XKL utilizes multi-sources for transceivers to ensure short lead times for builds, and all transceivers are fully tested for quality control. Every XKL system has “hot-swappable” transceivers and are field replaceable. Amplifiers Transport your data across town, across the state, or across the country using XKL's simple-to-manage optical amplifier solutions.  XKL solutions may include Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) or Raman amplifiers. Our customers can efficiently extend their link distances by deploying low-noise EDFAs in their DWDM system. XKL only uses eye-safe, class 1 Raman amplifiers, allowing you to leverage Raman amplification technology without putting the operator in harm’s way. This provides an extremely cost-effective way for customers to support up to 2,000km link distances.  OTDR XKL DWDM includes the ability to locate faults within your optical network.  OTDR's methodology involves sending signals into the optical fiber and meticulously measuring the backscatter's strength, enabling precise calculations of fiber distance. This empowers our products to pinpoint issues like bad splices and cable breaks helping you and your team immediately respond to any fiber issues and maintain peak network performance.  BERT Precisely quantify error rates and proactively troubleshoot communication systems, reducing downtime and mitigating costly service disruptions.  DarkStar products include the capability to utilize a Bit Error Ratio Test (BERT). Performing BERT can also facilitate capacity planning, while enhancing data security by detecting unauthorized interference in secure communication networks. Note: Utilizing XKL’s integrated BERT capability not only greatly simplifies your testing processes but also saves your business the cost of purchasing a separate test source system, which can run between $5k - $50k. Open Network Management XKL products are open and support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enabling administrators to easily manage our DWDM solutions in the manner they prefer. Use any vendor-neutral network management application to monitor, or our router-like Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure any network elements of our system. XKL inline amplifiers, muxponders, and transponders are all managed with the same mib and CLI interface.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1"

global_colors_info="{}"] The DQT100 is part of XKL's DarkStar DWDM Transponder family of products and is based on XKL’s DarkStar architecture, the foundation for addressing today's IT challenges and scalable growth. The DQT100 comes with either one or two 100G DWDM channels. The 100G data channel can use either tunable 100Gbps coherent CFP transceivers or non-DWDM short-reach CFP transceivers. These systems enable customers to soft-configure the aggregation of 10G Ethernet services. The DQT100 utilizes the DarkStar DMD Mux/Demux in order to aggregate up to 96 wave lengths on a single fiber pair. Alternatively, the DQT100 can provide alien wave injection into an existing customer network. The DQT100 systems are fully tunable and allow for a customer to grow their network to 9.6 terabits of line-side bandwidth. The DQT100 solution includes a powerful aggregation scheme based on statistical multiplexing. This approach to data aggregation optimizes channel utilization, provides bandwidth shaping controls, and gives the customer complete control over their data transport. Under the instantaneous demands of real-world internet traffic, statistical multiplexing leverages the statistics of real-time demand, allowing many more users to transmit their data packets over a shared channel than would normally be the case if a static aggregation approach, such as time-division multiplexing, were employed. As a result, statistical multiplexing can help lower the cost of building and maintaining an optical network. DQT100 systems install in under an hour and are available in 1 rack unit (1U) or 2 rack unit (2U) configurations. A typical DQT100 (i.e.,1 port) uses 164 watts of power. Network administrators can deploy and commission these systems in a fraction of the time it takes to deploy traditional optical transport equipment. Setting up the management network, as well as configuring services, are done in minutes. All the complexities of building an optical network are handled by the DQT100 system, leaving network administrators with confidence in their deployments.   Zero cost software updates. No licensing fees. Simplicity, reliability, durability. Highly scalable solutions.

Len is the 2009 recipient of IEEE Computer Society’s prestigious Computer Entrepreneur Award for pioneering and advancing the commercialization of routing technology, in turn creating profound changes in the computer industry and beyond. Since its creation, XKL’s innovative solutions have continued to shape the landscape of technology and networking. In its earliest days, XKL successfully built a compact, modern replacement for a massive mainframe computer system that had gone out of production. Many of these systems were deployed in key support roles, suggesting a need for a more modern platform as a migration path. The challenge at the time was to find a mainstream usage for a totally new technology: a platform with a desktop-sized footprint but incorporating technology that would bring the system into the 21st century. The resulting product (the Toad-1, below) represented a major technological breakthrough. The system exceeded all design goals and came equipped with such things as a modern disk subsystem and what was, at the time, the industry’s fastest backplane.  [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.19.2" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.23.1" _module_preset="eb3ea38c-dc72-4694-83af-e4fc630b38e4" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Beyond its primary objective, this first-generation product served two important roles: it provided a springboard that propelled XKL into technology solutions, and it enabled us to gather a highly talented technical team that has kept us at the forefront of DWDM innovation. Over the last three decades, XKL has built a reputation amongst network operators and engineers for putting its customers first and providing trusted optical engineering support alongside carrier-class Layer 1, DWDM products. We utilize a consultative approach to gain a deep understanding of our clients’ needs, delivering built-to-order and easy-to-manage optical network solutions that exceed customer expectations — without adding unnecessary complexities or costs. Thanks to XKL’s configuration and testing processes, our clients also benefit from a true plug-and-play experience when deploying and commissioning their DWDM gear. Today, XKL continues its history of innovation with another industry first, including offering fully integrated DWDM solutions in a single, compact 1RU or 2RU design - reducing costs and simplifying management.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="Stats" _builder_version="4.19.5" _module_preset="default"

The original inspiration to build a desktop version of the popular PDP-10 dated back to the 1970s with a DEC development project called “Minnow.” While project Minnow yielded no product, interest in a small implementation of the PDP-10 continued. It was eventually built at XKL by a team of veteran engineers from Cisco, DEC, Hewlett-Packard, and CDC, and led by Len Bosack, the co-founder of Cisco and a veteran of DEC and Bell Labs. XKL called it TOAD, an acronym for “Ten On A Desk.”[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="Footer" _builder_version="4.23.1"
