TEL AVIV, Israel – PacketLight Networks, a leading provider of DWDM and OTN solutions, today announced the launch of the PL-8000M 2 x 800G Muxponder, designed to address the growing demand for high-capacity, cost-effective optical transport solutions. Its technology and flexible architecture make the PL-8000M ideal for rolling out 800GbE, 400GbE, and 100GbE services or for enhancing existing network capacity.

The PL-8000M delivers up to 1.6Tb/s of capacity using two 800G pluggable OpenROADM coherent optical modules in a 1U device. The device integrates key optical layer components—mux/demux, EDFAs, and an optical switch, offering a complete optical networking solution that simplifies deployment and reduces operational costs.

Designed with a pay-as-you-grow architecture, the PL-8000M ensures future-proof scalability. Its interoperability with any third-party switch or router allows seamless integration into existing networks while providing a full demarcation point between the service and the DWDM network. This enables complete visibility and performance monitoring for client services.

The PL-8000M supports standard optical modules interfaces for the 100GbE, 400GbE and 800GbE services, and supports Layer-1 GCM-AES-256 encryption for secure communications, as well as QKD for future encryption needs. The device ensures efficient utilization of the optical spectrum and high-performance transport reducing the number of coherent transceivers needed.

Key Applications:

  • High-capacity data center interconnect (DCI) for enterprise, AI, and cloud computing networks
  • Service provider managed optical transport demarcation
  • Upgrading existing OTN/DWDM infrastructure with 800G wavelengths
  • Secured and encrypted communication for 100/400/800GbE services

“The PL-8000M reflects PacketLight’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric design, increasing network capacity while reducing cost and power per bit,” said Koby Reshef, CEO of PacketLight Networks. “This solution mitigates the challenges of modern optical networks, providing customers with the capacity, flexibility, and security they need to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry driven by emerging AI applications and high-capacity connectivity needs.”
