SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum
Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum"), a market-leading designer and
manufacturer of innovative optical and photonic products, today
announced the formation of the SmartTuning Multi-Source Agreement
(MSA) group with other industry suppliers to standardize an
interoperable self-tuning feature for full-band tunable dense
wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) pluggable optical
transceivers.
Simplified and automated optical solutions are critical to
addressing the rapidly growing demand for high-capacity 5G and
next-generation mobile networks. The SmartTuning MSA supports this
by standardizing the self-tuning feature which will enable
multi-vendor interoperability to aid the scale of 5G fronthaul
applications.
"With the SmartTuning MSA, 5G mobile service providers will be
able to better optimize their network architectures with
easy-to-integrate, cost-effective, and automated optical networking
solutions," said Justin Abbott,
Lumentum Director of Product Line Management, Telecom Transmission.
"This development should also accelerate the expansion of 5G
network infrastructure by enabling more network automation, which
results in less technician time in the field and lower ongoing
network operating costs."
In contrast to fixed wavelength transceivers, tunable solutions
require only a single part number allowing for easier forecasting
and inventory management. Incorporating the plug-and-play,
self-tunable feature adds an extra layer of automation which
further simplifies network installation and operation practices.
Self-tunable DWDM pluggables eliminate the need for labeling or
tracking fibers, reducing the overall operational cost for service
providers. Additionally, the self-tuning functionality does not
require new integration–within systems, the function can be enabled
or disabled. To learn more or to participate, visit the
