Capella delivers intelligent subsystems for managing traffic through the intersections of next-generation optical networks. As the traffic in optical networks evolves toward IP dominated content driven by the explosion of broadband services, the ability to route, monitor, protect, and maintain optical wavelengths dynamically, remotely, and reliably is essential. Only Capella’s WavePath® Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) with integrated optical channel monitoring (OCM) provides this comprehensive functionality enabling carriers the flexibility and scalability to easily grow their networks while reducing capital and operational expenses associated with planning, deployment, provisioning, and maintenance.

Wavepath® products offer the best performing WSS functionality in the industry featuring the widest passbands and lowest insertion loss, maximizing cascadeability of transparent nodes and minimizing amplification costs. The integrated OCM provides power monitoring, center wavelength monitoring, signal-to-noise ratio variance and the unique diagnostic ability to verify all connections through the subsystem (Capella’s patented Wavelength Connectivity Confirmation). Further, the closed-loop control system ensures optimal performance and reliability over all operating conditions throughout its lifetime.

Capella’s Wavepath® portfolio addresses Photonic Crossconnect (PXC), Ring Interconnect and Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (ROADM) architectures for Ultra Long-haul, Long-haul, Regional, Metro, and Access applications.
