Coriant showcases real-time optical performance awareness at OFC 2017

Coriant, a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end packet optical and DCI solutions announces new toolkit designed to maximise dynamic optical networks with real-time performance awareness and control.
In a live demonstration at OFC 2017 (19-23 March), Coriant will showcase how its new software-enabled tookit Coriant Aware™ Technology can aid faster and simpler new wavelength planning and provisioning, increase reach and capacity, and improve service availability.
"With Coriant Aware™ Technology we are showcasing the critical role of residual margin in optical network performance optimization," said Stefan Voll, Vice President of Product Management, Coriant. "Residual margin is the most useful measure of received signal quality to date, allowing determination of how much room there is for the signal to degrade without impacting error free operation."
Coriant Aware™ Technology will be introduced in phases, with initial OPE functionality available for trials beginning in Q2 2017.
