Fujitsu and KDDI Analysis introduced this week the profitable improvement of large-capacity multiband wavelength multiplexing transmission expertise utilizing put in optical fibers. In a joint assertion, the 2 corporations introduced that they’ve developed expertise enabling the transmission of wavelength bands apart from the C band, which has not been utilized in medium- and long-distance business optical communications, utilizing a batch wavelength conversion and multi-band amplification expertise.

Expertise Advantages

“The optical fiber communications community launched with this expertise allows wavelength transmission at 5.2 occasions the multiplicity of present business optical transmission expertise. This permits for the utilisation of put in optical fiber amenities to extend communication visitors in an economical and labour-efficient method,” stated the businesses on December 4.

Advantages for City Areas

The expertise is predicted to make it simpler to develop transmission capability in city areas and densely populated residential areas the place set up may be difficult. It additionally has the potential to considerably scale back the time required to begin the service and minimize prices.

The event was reportedly undertaken as a part of the ‘Analysis and Growth Venture of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Put up-5G Info and Communication Methods,’ commissioned by Japan’s New Vitality and Industrial Expertise Growth Organisation (NEDO).

Put up-5G optical networks

As a part of this effort, from October 2020 to October 2023, Fujitsu and KDDI Analysis engaged in a mission to boost the efficiency of post-5G optical networks. As the quantity of communication visitors will increase, the C band alone is predicted to have inadequate transmission capability.

To handle this, the 2 corporations aimed to extend the wavelength band used from the C band (wavelength band: 1,530 nm to 1,565 nm) to the L band, the S band, the U band, and the O band, with the purpose of creating it multi-band.
