Padtec introduces a next generation optical amplifier for ultra-long distances

This latest generation product, the remote pumping amplifier, developed by Padtec, uses state-of-the-art technology for high capacity data transmission over ultra long distances.

Padtec, a leading manufacturer of optical transport systems, brings to the market its ROPA (Remote Optically Pumped Amplifier) C +.  The ROPA C+ is part of Padtec’s family of optical amplifiers. Other amplifiers provided by Padtec include EDFA, Raman and the most compact hybrid models (EDFA/Raman) on the market.

As a result of the research and development effort carried out by Padtec, the ROPA amplifier system will enable data transmission at extremely high rates (in the order of terabits per second) over very long distances, without the need to build intermediate regeneration stations. Spans can exceed 300 kilometers, up to three times the distances achieved by conventional amplification systems.

For Manuel Andrade, Padtec North America’s CEO, the development of this generation of amplifiers is in line with the company’s commitment to constantly invest in the evolution of its product line, providing the market with innovative solutions and state-of-the-art technology in optical systems communications. “Padtec is one of the few companies in the world that controls the process of developing and producing optical amplifiers. With this project, the intention is to continue to evolve and, thus, maintain our position of technological leadership in this segment”, he adds. Andrade notes that, for Padtec’s customers, investment in new product development ensures the availability of solutions capable of meeting the needs of users – current and future – with greater capacity and quality in data transmission.
