Boosting Long-Distance Connectivity with Starview’s 100G eZR+ Optical Transceivers
Project Background
A leading network operator in Indonesia needed a robust solution to enhance its optical infrastructure from 10Gbps to 100Gbps to accommodate their growing bandwidth demands. To maintain seamless service delivery nationwide, they required a cost-effective, long-distance transmission solution without excessive infrastructure upgrades.
The Challenge
The existing fiber infrastructure faced high signal loss, making standard 100G ZR optics (30dB fiber budget) insufficient for long-distance connectivity. To address this, optical amplifiers or boosters would typically be required, increasing overall project costs and affecting capital expenditures (CapEx).
The Starview Solution
Starview Technologies proposed the QSFP-eZR+ module, a 100G high-power optical transceiver that supports a 34–36dB fiber budget. This innovative solution eliminates the need for optical amplifiers, significantly reducing costs and simplifying turnover period for the network operator.
Key Benefits of Starview’s QSFP-eZR+ Solution
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces capital and operational expenses by eliminating amplifiers.
- Simplified Deployment: Enables plug-and-play implementation without additional equipment.
- Sustainability: Lowers energy consumption and supports ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.
- Long-Haul Performance: Ideal for network links exceeding 80 km and up to 100 km.
