Deployment Spotlight

Real-World Optical Performance

Tier 1 Carrier DWDM Backbone Upgrade

A North American Tier 1 carrier needed to upgrade its 2,800 km long-haul backbone from 100G to 400G per wavelength without replacing existing G.652 fiber or in-line amplifiers. Lumentum deployed 96-channel DWDM systems with our 400G ZR+ coherent modules, achieving 400G transmission across every span while maintaining OSNR margins of 3 dB above threshold. The project was completed in 14 months, delivering a 4x capacity increase at 60% lower cost-per-bit compared to the legacy 100G infrastructure — without a single fiber cut or amplifier replacement.

Hyperscale Data Center Interconnect

A global cloud provider required 800G DCI links between three data center campuses separated by 40-80 km. Lumentum supplied QSFP-DD 800G coherent pluggable modules that integrated directly into the existing switch fabric. Power consumption measured at 18W per module — 35% below the operator's previous 2×400G bonded solution. The deployment connected 1,200 switch ports across the three sites, achieving aggregate throughput of 480 Tbps with end-to-end latency under 0.4 ms.
