Coriant Sets Industry Benchmark for Low Power Consumption with Ultra-Green 400G Groove Solution

New 400G Muxponder Enables Industry-Leading Energy Efficiency for
High Capacity Optical Transport at 0.20 Watts per Gigabit – 50% Lower
than Comparable Solutions

NAPERVILLE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DCI–Coriant, a leading supplier of packet optical, IP, and SDN solutions to
Tier 1 global service providers and web-scale Internet operators, today
announced a new 400G muxponder for its Coriant
Groove™ G30 Network Disaggregation Platform
that sets an industry
power consumption benchmark at 0.20 watts per Gigabit of bandwidth – 50%
lower than the closest comparable solution. This solution also delivers
features that further improve spectral efficiency and the data integrity
of high-capacity coherent optical networks, while enabling operators to
dramatically lower operating expenses.

Based on 16 nanometer CMOS technology, the Coriant new ultra-green 400G
muxponder, fully equipped with Coriant’s silicon photonics-powered
CFP2-ACO and client-side transceivers, consumes 0.20 watts per Gigabit.
The environmentally-friendly solution is fully compatible with deployed
Coriant Groove™ G30 systems, thereby eliminating the need for forklift
upgrades and simplifying pay-as-you-grow scalability with best-in-class
modularity.

In addition to the industry’s lowest power consumption, the new Coriant
Groove™ G30 muxponder improves optical reach and spectral efficiency
with support for 200G/8QAM programmable modulation. Given its low power
and high density, network operators can now deploy a complete DWDM
transport system – including muxponding, optical multiplexing, and
amplification – all within a single rack unit with up to 1.6 Tbps of
capacity. This alleviates the need for a separate optical line system,
thus reducing space and power requirements. The new compact and flexible
1RU configuration makes it ideal for deployments at networking sites
with space and power restrictions.

“The new Groove 400G muxponder is the industry’s most environmentally
friendly, small footprint solution for high-capacity optical transport
and green Data Center Interconnect,” said Zeljko Bulut, Product
Management, Data Center Solutions, Coriant. “This milestone reflects
Coriant’s ongoing commitment to driving the highest operational value
for our customers – and for the environment – as their capacity demands
scale.”
