Optical Communications
JDSU offers the industry's broadest portfolio of optical communication components, modules, and subsystems applications throughout the network. This includes a full selection of both active and passive components as well as increasing levels of intelligence and integration in modules, circuit packs, and subsystems for telecommunications, data communications, and cable television.
JDSU supports its customers in all market segments throughout the optical communication network.
CATV systems are evolving from television broadcast networks to WDM bi-directional systems that support a variety of services including broadcast television, video-on-demand and high-speed Internet access via cable modems. JDSU offers a line of integrated components specifically for CATV.
Enterprise networks provide a variety of services including virtual private networks (VPNs), Intranet and Internet access, voice, and more. JDSU provides a broad range of optical products for enterprise networks including transceivers, transponders, EDFAs, transmitters, receivers, CWDM, DWDM mux/demux, optical switches, and WaveReady™ edge access products.
FTTx applications bring higher-bandwidth fiber nearer to the user and include fiber-to-the-curb, fiber-to-the-office, and fiber-to-the-home architectures. These segments of the network include Passive Optical Network (PON) architectures such as BPON (broadband PON), EPON (Ethernet PON), and GPON (Gigabit PON) and require lower costs than do upstream portions closer to the network core. JDSU provides products for FTTx applications from the central office transmission modules, switching and amplifiers to couplers and splitters used in PON architectures and is expanding its portfolio for this emerging market.
JDSU offers a wide range of components and modules for transmission, wavelength-division multiplexing/demultiplexing, amplification and wavelength management for terrestrial long haul.
JDSU offers a variety of products to meet the needs of metro access networks. These products accommodate shorter distances between nodes and bit rates from DS1, DS3, and 155 Mb/s up to 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s.
Metro Core/Regional Metro DWDM applications provide inter-business, inter-office and connectivity to long-haul carriers' Points-of-Presence (POPs). JDSU provides a broad range of products for Metro Core DWDM applications including EDFAs, optical monitors, add/drop modules, and a wide range of components.
Metro Core/Regional Metro SONET/SDH applications provide inter-business, inter-office and connectivity to long-haul carriers' Points-of-Presence (POPs).
JDSU offers a variety of products for optical cross connect applications. These products include colorless wavelength blockers, ROADMs, transmitters, receivers, transponders, switches, modulators, and more.
JDSU offers a family of products for storage area networks, including 1.x, 2.x, and 4.x Gb/s Fibre Channel products.
The components and systems for undersea transmission require stringent qualification requirements and specifications to ensure high reliability over an extended life. JDSU provides amplifier components such as 980 nm pump lasers and Raman pump lasers, couplers/splitters, WDMs, circulators and isolators for wet-plant and a full portfolio of components, modules, and subsystems for dry-plant submarine applications.
