100G Coherent Technologies Oriented to Next

Generation of ULH Transmission Systems

5 Summary

Summary

Data traffic on networks doubles every two years and the international 100G/100GE standards
have been developing rapidly, which will speed up the maturity and commercial application
of 100G WDM technologies. Steered by the polarization multiplexing, QPSK, coherent
detection, and DSP techniques, the presence and maturity of the 100G coherent PDM-QPSK
system technology marks the transition of analog optical transmission systems into digital
optical transmission systems. This transmision dominates the development trend of future
networks.
Huawei's 100G coherent ePDM-QPSK equipment provides superior performance in
compensating for CD and PMD and the unique capability to withstand fiber nonlinear effects.
The equipment frees transmission links on live networks from using DCMs while at the same
time ensuring excellent transmission performance. In addition, it supports hybrid transmission
of 100G services and 10G or 40G services on live networks, and its expansion capacity has
been fully demonstrated in multiple FOAs. All these facts show that Huawei's 100G
ePDM-QPSK coherent detection equipment is capable of providing highly-efficient 100G
transmission with low TCO.

Standards

Progress of Client-Side 100G Ports and

Related Standards
The IEEE 802.3ba task force has completed defining the standards for 40GE and 100GE
transmissions. According to the IEEE 802.3ba standard, the 100GE transmission requires two
types of ports: 10 x 10G (MMF) and 4 x 25G (SMF). The 10 x 10G ports are used with
multimode fibers in 100 m transmission applications (100GBASE-SR10), and the 4 x 25G
ports are used with single-mode fibers in 10 km transmission applications (100GBASE-LR4)
and 40 km transmission applications (100GBASE-ER4). The IEEE 802.3ba standard was
officially released in June 2010.
