SpectraPath
SpectraPath Provisioner™
Product Overview
XKL’s SpectraPath Provisioner is designed with no data rate restrictions to provide maximum control of your existing capacity. Carve, balance, and allocate your spectrum through this WSS-enabled, reconfigurable tool to avoid forklift upgrades.
Additional capacity becomes monetizable, creating opportunities for revenue generation. Improve utilization of your fiber assets while delivering wavelength services and Spectrum-as-a-service to customers along the same fiber pair.
The Provisioner is GUI-free, avoiding the hassle of multi-day Java updates and management hurdles. A simple, familiar CLI eases the tuning process and reduces maintenance.
The Provisioner serves as an integral part of an XKL network solution or can inter-operate with any optical networking equipment. Easy to integrate and operate, there is no need for specialized optical engineers to ensure network optimization.
Integrate the SpectraPath Provisioner with XKL’s DWDM solutions or add it seamlessly to your existing hardware to enhance your entire layer 1 network.
- Zero cost software updates.

XKL Solution Implementations
Revenue Services
The Provisioner’s management flexibility can be adapted to create new revenue streams through Spectrum-as-a-service or wavelength services by leasing out excess bandwidth.
Connect to customer hardware with a switch/router, and link a Provisioner alongside a DQM (mux/demux) to control how much spectrum is allotted to customers.
Node Link to Core
Converge your network architecture by attaching the Provisioner to your core in order to create a spur.
The Provisioner can work alone as an end node in place of a filter, alongside additional Transponders or Muxponders, or alongside additional technologies like IPoDWDM within your OLS.
