A new nationwide DWDM network has been commissioned by a leading ISP in Iraq...

A new nationwide DWDM network has been commissioned by a leading ISP in Iraq. Fibre provider IQ Networks has selected a transponder-free DWDM solution from Menara Networks to build a national 10Gbps IP-over-DWDM network.

The solution is built with tuneable OTN XFP transceivers for complete DWDM transponder replacement. This saves on space, cost and power consumption while offering high performance optical networking functions, including integrated ITU-T G.709 OTU-2 framing, OTN alarms and performance monitoring processing, Forward Error Correction for OSNR gain, automatic receiver threshold adaptation and SBS suppression for up to 2,000 km transmission.

“We were looking for an architecture that places our IP/MPLS nodes at the centre of the network rather than a client to the transmission layer,” observes Martin, IQ Networks CEO. “Menara’s innovative OTN “System-in-a-Module” provides all the necessary performance and management capabilities without burdening our network with the high cost, footprint and power consumption that plague the transponder-based architecture.”
