Digital Lightwave Optical Wavelength Manager (OWM) Series 2™

The Digital Lightwave OWM Series 2 is a high-performance optical layer monitoring system, combining the features of an optical spectrum analyser and a fast optical channel monitor. It is ideal for both DWDM long haul and metropolitan area network applications.

The OWM Series 2 combines optical channel monitoring (OCM) and optical performance monitoring (OPM) into a real-time optical layer monitoring (OLM) system. This enables proactive optical signal surveillance in the all-optical domain.

The OWM Series 2 monitors the spectral characteristics over the C Band including central wavelength, power level, Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) and Spectral Width, measured as Full Wavelength Half Maximum (FWHM). Any channel deviating from normal conditions is reported within milliseconds. Long-term drift of these parameters can be tracked and analysed, thus providing input for network tuning and resource allocation. The OWM Series 2 enables service providers to resolve channel-specific problems, often before a degrading channel suffers critical data loss. This translates into reduced network downtime and the ability to avoid violation of service level agreements (SLA).
