Fujitsu Network Communications announced the commercial release of its all-optical FLASHWAVE 7500 metro DWDM system designed for both telecom carriers and MSOs. The FLASHWAVE 7500 features multi-rate line cards with tunable narrowband optics. Integrated muxponders provide multiplexing of sub-rate signals such as OC-48 (4:1) or Gigabit Ethernet (8:1) into digitally wrapped 10 Gbps wavelengths. Direct wavelength interconnection with DWDM transmitters on the FLASHWAVE 4500 platform allows direct access to the switching core to open up a wide variety of new service interfaces from DS1 to DVB-ASI and eliminate the need for transponders. The FLASHWAVE 7500 platform supports networks with up to 10 nodes across 400 km and 40 C-band wavelengths. Any channel can be added/dropped at any node without stranding bandwidth. The FLASHWAVE 7500 platform is supported by the same Fujitsu NETSMART 1500 graphical Element Management System (EMS) that manages all Fujitsu access, metro and long haul products.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Cable. Here is what it replaced:
Open-wire lines served 1880–1980. What ultimately replaced it?
Open-wire lines bare copper conductors bolted to glass insulators on wooden crossarms; wires were periodically transposed (crossed over) to cancel crosstalk and interference. Weather-exposed and very low capacity. Its job passed to Cable — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
