Our photonic solutions power critical optical infrastructure across telecommunications, cloud computing, enterprise, and emerging 5G/6G networks.
Metro, regional, and long-haul DWDM transport systems for Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers. Our coherent optics support up to 800G per wavelength across distances exceeding 3,000 km, reducing cost-per-bit by up to 40% compared to previous-generation systems. Lumentum modules are deployed across backbone networks in 52 countries.
High-density optical interconnects for intra-datacenter and DCI applications. Our QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers deliver 400G/800G per port with measured power efficiency — under 15W per 400G — enabling rack-scale optical fabrics that support AI training clusters and distributed storage architectures.
Fiber-to-the-desk and building backbone solutions using singlemode and multimode transceivers. Our SFP+ and SFP28 modules integrate seamlessly with major switch vendors, providing 10G to 25G connectivity with certified multi-vendor interoperability and temperature ratings from -5°C to +70°C.
Fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul optical modules compliant with O-RAN and eCPRI specifications. Our 25G SFP28 tunable transceivers reduce cell site inventory complexity while supporting the bandwidth demands of 64T64R massive MIMO deployments across sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands.
Ultra-long-reach coherent transponders designed for submarine cable systems. Our modules achieve OSNR sensitivities below 18 dB at 400G, enabling transoceanic spans without electrical regeneration and supporting the rapidly growing demand for intercontinental data capacity.
Specialty fiber optic components for quantum key distribution, LiDAR systems, and secure government communications. Our modules meet MIL-STD-810 environmental requirements and are available with extended temperature ranges for field-deployable defense platforms.
Choosing the right optical architecture involves trade-offs that depend on deployment context, budget constraints, and long-term capacity planning.
Full fiber deployment (FTTH/FTTP) offers future-proof bandwidth capacity, lower long-term maintenance costs, and superior latency — critical for next-gen applications like 8K streaming and cloud gaming. However, enhanced copper solutions using G.fast vectoring and VDSL2 bonding provide a faster, lower-cost rollout path by leveraging existing telephone infrastructure. For operators with extensive copper plant, the decision often comes down to traffic growth projections: if demand doubles every 3-4 years, fiber's 10+ Gbps symmetrical ceiling justifies the higher upfront civil works cost. For areas with slower growth, G.fast can deliver 1 Gbps over short loops at a fraction of the capex.
Active Optical Networks (AON) provide dedicated bandwidth per subscriber and can reach up to 80 km without signal regeneration, making troubleshooting straightforward with per-port monitoring. Passive Optical Networks (PON) — including GPON and XGS-PON — use unpowered splitters in the field, reducing operational costs and simplifying the outside plant. The trade-off is shared bandwidth: a 1:64 GPON split serves 64 subscribers from a single OLT port. For high-density residential areas where per-user cost matters, PON typically wins. For enterprise or campus deployments requiring guaranteed bandwidth SLAs, AON architectures or lower-split-ratio PON (1:8 or 1:16) are more appropriate.
