Ciena Optical Multiservice Edge 6500

OME 6500

The Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 or OME 6500 in telecommunication, computer networking and optical communications is a Multi-port multi-protocol system designed by Nortel (now Ciena) that supports TDM/WDM/GigE/10G/40G and 100G ports.^{[1] [2]}

The system supports high bandwidth demands from applications like IPTV, Internet Video, HD programming, and mobile video by increasing the speeds over existing fiber. Normally increasing the speeds from 10G to 40G to 100G typically entails trade-offs such as shortening the distance of each network segment or increasing optical dispersion because the weakening of optical signals as they travel. To prevent this signal loss would normally requires amplifiers or repeaters, or in some cases new better quality fiber would need to be installed. Nortel prevents this by using a signal modulation technology called dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DPQPSK).^{[3] [4]}
