What are the benefits for adopting SingTel GigaWaveLite ?

SingTel GigaWaveLite provides an all-optical Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) to meet customers' requirement for gigabit transmission speeds.

SingTel GigaWaveLite offers the following benefits:

• Scalability: A perfect fit for networks that try to meet demands for more bandwidth, SingTel GigaWaveLite can dramatically ramp capacity without disruption to existing services. It provides automatic adjustment of the optical amplifiers when channels are added or removed.
• Survivability: Failure recovery within 50 msec or less
• Data-centric: Infrastructure optimised for carrying data
• Manageability: Service management and open interfaces/connectivity to long haul networks.
• Service transparency: Supports multiple services and bit-rates with a single network interfaces. There is protocol transparency for optical interfaces like ESCON(Enterprise System Connection), FICON(Fibre Connection), Fibre Channel, Fast Ethernet FX, GigE(Gigabit Ethernet), FDDI(Fibre Distributed Data Interface), STM-1, STM-4 and STM-16. DWDM combines multiple optical signals so that they can be amplified as a group and transported over a single fibre to increase capacity.
• Cost Management: Allows you to save hefty cost while increasing bandwidth needed. SingTel GigaWaveLite is a cost-efficient way to achieve high bandwidth in the band at once and at one once.
• Long Distance: It permits travel in longer distance that boosts all channels equally, simultaneously and in a pure optical mode.
• Equipment requirement: It lessens the need for costly signal regeneration units as optical amplifiers are used in SingTel GigaWaveLite technology
• Flexibility: SingTel GigaWaveLite allows expansion of capacity in any portion of a network - an advantage that no other technology can offer.
