CoastCom Lets CustomersSet Their Fiber Free

A leading manufacturer of voice and data communications equipment for public and private networks, CoastCom (Booth 1521) has expanded its product line to include the GigaEdge 8200 next-generation CWDM reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) and GigaEdge 2330 mini multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP).

The GigaEdge 8200 is a service network solution, a multiprotocol system for integrated transport of voice, video and data. It adds value to and extends the life of existing infrastructures for TDM, ATM, SAN, IP, SONET or SDH networks.

With up to 30dB of link budget, it is suitable for incremental capacity expansion between central offices, yet its ability to operate in outside plant conditions makes it equally suitable for upgrading digital loop carrier networks at the very edge of the optical network. Its plug and play WDM design, small form factor and low power usage all contribute to lowered operational expenses, while its modular design enables low first-in costs, with cost of ownership scaling in line with revenue generation. The GigaEdge 8200 and 2330s flexibility, simplicity and compact design make them suitable for a variety of cost-effective solutions.

The GigaEdge 8200 next-generation CWDM ROADM enables carriers, utilities and enterprises to efficiently and cost-effectively transport multiple varying protocols on a single fiber strand or fiber pair, says Arturo Zárate, CoastComs director of product marketing and business development.

The new products expand the CoastCom family of products to provide stratified network solutions from access to core.
