VPIlinkConfigurator™
The solution for cost-optimized equipment configuration from VPIphotonics allows easier design, and faster, more competitive response to application requests and RFQs.
VPIlinkConfigurator lets engineers design complex optical transmission systems and predict performance limitations using sophisticated, patented algorithms that run behind an easy-to-use graphical user interface. Powerful link modeling capabilities ensure that designs comply with all physical layer design rules and are cost optimal, taking into account available equipment choices. VPIlinkConfigurator can automatically create Bills of Materials and performance reports in customizable formats.
VPIlinkConfigurator offers the following benefits:
- Configure systems by optimizing node and hut locations, fiber types and equipment
- Support green & brown field configuration for SDH&SONET, linear-ADM/OADM and hub-rings
- Support cascadable OADMs and port-based receivers
- Synthesize alternative solutions using real terminal equipment and vendor components
- Predict limitations on systems performance including optical amplifier characteristics, dispersion, crosstalk, PMD, nonlinearities and interchannel power transfer
- Chart signal power, noise and degradations along the link with uncertainty and min/max limits
- Reconfigure designs and adjust parameters manually, investigate automatically updated charts
- Generate Bill of Materials and performance reports in customizable format
The format of the component parameters has been carefully chosen to mirror data sheets, and to provide sufficient performance information for all significant degradation mechanisms. VPIlinkConfigurator synthesizes alternative solutions for the fiber plant section using predefined terminal equipment and real vendor components.
