Cloud Telecom: Optical network infrastructure
Cloud Telecommunications (S) Pte. Ltd. (Cloud Telecom), a Facilities-Based Operations (FBO) licensed telco in Singapore, has developed a robust optical network platform connecting major data centres using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology. This infrastructure enables multiple light wavelengths to transmit data over the same medium, with each wavelength capable of carrying a 400G line rate. Consequently, each network segment is upgradable to more than 19 Terabits per second.
The deployment of Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) allows for dynamic wavelength routing, power balancing, and automated path reconfiguration, enhancing network resilience and flexibility. Additionally, the Optical Line Protection (OLP) system provides 1:1 protection for all wavelengths, ensuring automatic traffic rerouting in case of fibre cuts or equipment failures.
