 Transmode's 1x4 ROADM is a powerful part of the TM-Series enabling cost optimized flexible networks based on DWDM technology. Built for dynamic network applications, the ROADM allows hitless wavelength allocation and future proof traffic design.

Key benefits with Transmode’s 1x4 ROADM are in short:

  • Multiple use - can be used in bus topologies as well as three- and four-way mesh nodes with local add-drop
  • Can be combined into a direction-less ROADM configuration allowing flexible handling of traffic
  • Provides add/drop of any wavelength from/to any port, giving maximum flexibility in wavelength allocation
  • Built-in Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) for easier channel power balancing
  • Compact design, giving small footprint
  • Low Power Design ensuring low total cost of ownership

The 1x4 ROADM unit is a compact solution (occupies only 2 slots) for all network topologies. It is fully supported as a unit in the TM-3000 chassis and works as a building block for reconfigurable add-drop nodes in up to 4 dimensions.
