Avanex Expands 10G Tunable Transponder Portfolio with Optical Duobinary Modulation.FREMONT, Calif. -- Avanex Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AVNX), a pioneer of intelligent photonic solutions that enable next-generation optical networks, today announced that it has expanded its 10G extended reach tunable transponder A receiver/transmitter on a communications satellite. It receives a microwave signal from earth (uplink), amplifies it and retransmits it back to earth at a different frequency (downlink). A satellite has several transponders. product portfolio. Avanex's new PowerReach[TM] 10 Gb/s Optical Duobinary (ODB ODB Our Daily Bread ODB Object Database ODB Old Dirty Bastard (Wutang clan & rap group) ODB Old Dirty Bastard ODB Open Database ODB Ontario Drug Benefits ODB Cordoba Spain (airport code) ) transponder combines Avanex's market leading Lithium Niobate modulators with its tunable transponder design to create a high performance extended reach tunable transponder with reach capability up to 160 km without added amplification. The PowerReach ODB advanced modulation technology provides higher dispersion tolerance and narrower laser line width - two key features that allow optical signals to travel longer distance with low transmission bit error. The PowerReach ODB can typically achieve a bit error rate below 10-3 with OSNR OSNR Optical Signal Noise Ratio OSNR Optical Signal to Noise Ratio as low as 12 dB through +-3200 ps/nm, while maintaining power consumption below 12 W (7W at 35oC). The PowerReach ODB is also compliant with large form factor 300pin MSA (Metropolitan Service Area) An urban area with at least 50,000 people plus surrounding counties. There are 306 MSAs and 428 RSAs (rural service areas) in the U.S. MSAs and RSAs are used to allocate cellular licenses. standards. The advanced features of the PowerReach ODB allow equipment manufacturers to provide highly reliable, cost effective extended reach transmission network solutions. The PowerReach ODB is available for sample testing with selected customers, and is expected to be released in full production in Dec. 2007. This innovative product will be displayed at the 33rd European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication Conference (ECOC ECOC European Conference on Optical Communications ECOC Error Correcting Output Codes ECOC Experimental Combat Operations Center ECOC Enhanced Combat Operation Center ECOC Emotional Cycle of Change ) on September 17 - 19 at the Internationales Congress Centrum centrum /cen·trum/ (sen´trum) pl. cen´tra [L.] 1. a center. 2. the body of a vertebra. cen·trum n. pl. cen·trums or cen·tra 1. , in Berlin, Germany.
