ADTRAN announced on March 25, 2025, the launch of AccessWave50™, the industry’s first full C-band tunable 50Gbit/s SFP56 DWDM PAM4 pluggable transceiver. This technology is specifically designed to help mobile network operators expand 5G fronthaul capacity.
The AccessWave50™ enhances network efficiency by replacing two 25Gbit/s transceivers with a single 50Gbit/s unit, lowering power dissipation to less than 3W and simplifying deployment. It supports zero-touch provisioning, auto-tuning, and smart tunable technology, ensuring plug-and-play efficiency without manual wavelength configuration.
The transceiver features ADTRAN’s patented distance optimization and signal shaping technology, ensuring robust performance over 15km on SMF28 fiber. Its full C-band tunability and G.metro technology enable easy integration with existing MNO software platforms and maximize spectral efficiency, while being compliant with I-temp requirements for outside plant applications.
