Lynx provides DWDM and OTN solutions for networks that need more capacity, longer reach, greater resiliency or better use of existing fibre infrastructure.
Applications range from data centre interconnect and AI infrastructure to metro and long-haul transport, Layer 1 encryption, fibre monitoring and capacity expansion over existing DWDM and CWDM networks.
Lynx can help evaluate service rates, capacity, distance, fibre availability, security and existing infrastructure to determine the right optical transport architecture and equipment for the application.
Explore common applications for increasing capacity, extending network reach, improving fibre utilization and protecting critical optical connections.
Private backbones move mixed 10 GbE to 400 GbE and Fibre Channel between sites on one fibre pair with optional AES-256 encryption and link protection.
Links from 400 G to 800 G keep GPU clusters in sync with sub-millisecond latency; bandwidth scales by licence as compute grows.
DWDM transponders carry encrypted 400 G and 800 G channels from landing stations to inland cores with automatic power control and diverse paths.
Coherent optics extend 100 G to 400 G services to about 4 000 km; software keys lift capacity from metro to national reach while analytics confirm SLAs.
Lynx supports optical transport applications including data centre interconnect (DCI), AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, metro and long-haul transport, Layer 1 encryption, fibre monitoring, alien wavelengths, single-fibre networks, DWDM over CWDM and specialized video transport.
Yes. DWDM allows multiple independent wavelengths to share the same fibre, significantly increasing available capacity without deploying additional fibre. The appropriate solution depends on fibre availability, distance, optical loss and required service capacity.
In many cases, yes. Alien wavelengths and open optical networking can allow new capacity to operate over existing third-party DWDM infrastructure. Compatibility depends on the existing optical system, wavelength plan, fibre characteristics and required service rates.
Yes. Depending on the platform and network design, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, OTN, video and other services can be transported over common optical infrastructure at different data rates.
Yes. Selected PacketLight platforms support integrated Layer 1 AES-256 encryption, allowing traffic to be protected at the optical transport layer without changing the underlying applications or higher-layer network architecture. Encryption capabilities and certifications vary by platform and configuration.
The right solution depends on service rates, required capacity, distance, fibre availability, network topology, resiliency, security and future growth. Lynx can evaluate these requirements and help identify the appropriate optical architecture, equipment and configuration.
