The Sorrento Networks GN-CS is an optical transport platform that delivers dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) capabilities for mission-critical network infrastructure. Part of the GigaMux family, it expands bandwidth efficiency by supporting multiple wavelength channels per fiber pair—enabling a single 10G link to scale to 80 channels of 10G traffic. The platform transports 10G, 40G, and 100G client traffic while maintaining ultra-low latency performance critical for high-frequency applications. It operates over extended fiber spans reaching 1500 kilometers without regeneration through electronic dispersion compensation, adapting to varied fiber plant conditions.
