400G IOWN Network Solution

The IOWN Network Solution (400G) combines the IOWN-related technologies of NTT and those of IP Infusion, a software company based in the United States, to enable high-speed, high-capacity, and low-power consumption communication.

Benefits for Service Providers

The companies stated that service providers such as data center operators and telecommunication carriers can use the solution to build simpler and lower-cost inter-data center networks based on 400G ZR/ZR+ for high-speed and long-distance transmission.

This will contribute to a 50 percent reduction in the construction and operation costs of network equipment, a 40 percent reduction in power consumption, and a decrease in rack space.

Technical Specifications and Components

The IOWN Network Solution (400G) provides a switch/router capable of long-distance transmission at 400 Gbps. Its software and hardware are disaggregated, consisting of a network OS (software), white box switches/routers (hardware), and 400G ZR/ZR+ optical transceivers (optical transceivers). Depending on the needs, customers can combine optical transceivers that comply with open standards and are fully validated, the companies explained.
