Coherent systems have many advantages over traditional amplitude transmitters. The main advantages are an increase in the distance between intermediate points (due to the high sensitivity of the receiver and resistance to interference), it is not necessary to install dispersion compensators and reduce the number of amplifiers on the line. These benefits reduce capital investment in infrastructure and reduce maintenance costs. The management system supports the previous generation of domestic DWDM systems, which allows you to control 1G, 2.5G, 10G and 40G networks.
