Modular Optical Node Platform (mNode)

Data Sheet

The QAMnet mNODE series is a modular platform for fully-customized optical node.

Product Overview

The QAMnet mNODE series is a modular platform for a fully-customized optical node. Designed to meet the requirements for next generation deep fiber HFC, RF over Glass (RFoG) and Cable Passive Optical Networks (Cable PON) applications, the mNODE provides a flexible and cost-effective transport solution. With our patented multiple wavelength technology, the mNODE provides a bandwidth upgrade solution that is also fully compatible with existing HFC/CATV infrastructure and installation.

Depending on the system architecture and bandwidth requirements, mNODE can be configured with all functional blocks to enable deep fiber HFC, RFoG or Cable PON installation. These building blocks include: an EDFA, fiber splitters, a wavelength Add/drop, a WDM/CWDM multiplexer, a CWDM return path laser, return receivers and a protective optical switch.

Based on our patented technologies, the mNODE provides a higher versatility of functions and greater bandwidth capabilities than the tradition node design. The QAMnet design team will assist our customers in selecting the necessary functions from standard modules. There are two versions of the mNODE optical node. The mNODE is available with a weather-resistant outdoor housing.
