Analysis of DWDM-based Beyond 100 Gbit/s Hybrid Networking
data communication traffic has experienced explosive growth. To meet the demands for high-speed
high-capacity data transmission and the diverse network application scenarios
hybrid network beyond 100 Gbit/s (B100 Gbit/s) using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has increasingly been recognized as an effective solution. This paper analyzes the requirements
key technologies
and practical case studies of such networks
providing technical support and guidance for building high-capacity and efficient communication networks.
【Methods】

This paper first outlines the requirements for developing B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networks
including network capacity expansion and support for complex network architectures. Next
it details the key technologies for these networks
including constellation shaping
spectrum shaping
and flexible grid technologies. To support bitrate design in hybrid networking
a method for calculating Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) in cascaded Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) communication systems is presented
using parameters such as channel configuration information
transmitted signal optical power
and EDFA gain and noise parameters
to calculate the output OSNR for each wavelength across the link. Finally
by integrating a foreign network case study and based on actual OSNR evaluation
a rational hybrid rate network design is performed
demonstrating the application effectiveness of B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid networking in engineering projects.

Implementing B100 Gbit/s DWDM hybrid network
after flexibly configuring transmission rates and bandwidths based on OSNR evaluations
achieves hybrid rate networks deployment at 200
600 and 800 Gbit/s. This approach fulfills the high-capacity requirements of core sites while accommodating the long-distance
extensive span requirements of edge sites. Furthermore
network upgrades and expansion are smoothly accomplished within a three-year period.
【Conclusion】

Practice demonstrates that B100 Gbit/s DWDM networking effectively enhances network capacity
flexibility
and spectrum resource utilization. It also provides room for the continuous network evolution
playing a crucial role in advancing the development of high-capacity optical transmission networks.
