OPTICAL TRANSPORT
Optical transmission technologies for
high-capacity and high-performance networks
Routing and switching technologies form the core of every network infrastructure, but it is the deeper network layers that ensure that services reach the end customer! Based on innovative Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) solutions, optical networks offer the necessary capacities and transmission rates for the reliable transport of today’s and tomorrow’s data volumes.
With many years of expertise and comprehensive know-how, our engineers in the area of optical transport/transmission implement flexible, complex optical networks with transmission rates of up to 800 Gbit/s per channel with up to 96 channels over a single fiber pair – whether in access, metro or backbone/longhaul networks.

The next evolutionary step of optical networks: an optical transmission layer in a fully automated 1U system for wavelengths and data rates of different vendors and DWDM systems
Intelligence/Automation
Agile, flexible networks (SDN/NFV) through automatic (re-)configuration of the transmission network due to e.g. path interruption, bandwidth bottlenecks and when setting up connections
Optical Transport – dedicated services
Pre-Staging
After receiving the systems, Xantaro takes over the testing and pre-configuration of the hardware according to customer requirements before delivery or rather the start of the rollout. The benefits for your project:
- Early identification and replacement of DOA components (dead-on-arrival) or delivery shortages
- Planning security with reliable installation dates
- Reduction of installation time on site due to pre-assembled chassis and pre-configuration
Fibre Characterisation
Xantaro takes on the measurement of highly critical and high-performance optical networks for the complete qualification of the fibre optics and an exact determination of the transmission properties of existing or new fibre optic infrastructures:
- bidirectional measurement of the insertion loss
- bidirectional OTDR measurements to determine the length and spatially resolved attenuation curve
- measurement of return loss
- measurement of chromatic dispersion (to derive compensation measures)
- measurement of polarization mode dispersion for evaluation of physical disturbances and suitability starting from 40G/100G per wavelength
- customized result report
