Pirelli Broadband Solutions has announced the launch of its Light Wavelength Division Multiplexing platform. The platform expands on the Pirelli City8™ Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) platform by adding low-end Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) capability.  This combination supports six CWDM wavelengths, each operating at 2.5Gbit/s, and 16 DWDM wavelengths, each operating at 2.5 or 10Gbit/s, for a total capacity of 175Gbit/s on a single platform.  The DWDM channels support optical amplification, allowing links of up to 200km without the use of dispersion-compensation.
