Increases the range of a 10+ Gb/s link on conventional multimode fiber up to 10 km (6.2 miles) without deployment of new optical fiber.

The majority of fibers deployed in local networks are standard multi-mode optical fibers (OMx, 62.5/125 μm or 50/125 μm). These fibers are limited in bandwidth. Depending on the topology and lengths of the cables deployed in the network architectures, the transmitted bit rates are limited to 1 Gb/s or even 100 Mb/s.

By eliminating modal dispersion, AROONA-STAR circumvents this limitation without replacing the existing fibers. This innovation provides a flexible and affordable solution that reduces the investment in upgrading the cabling infrastructure. Regardless of the network topology, the AROONA-STAR box can transport 10 Gb/s or more over 12 multi-mode fibers and thereby support evolutions in network traffic, without long, complex and expensive new deployment.

For links <800 m (0.5 miles), the AROONA-STAR box is installed at just one end of the fiber links. At remote sites, only the multi-mode patch cords should be changed by standard single-mode patch cords.

For links >800 m (0.5 miles), a REACH EXTENDER box is required at the remote site at the other end of the fiber links in order to ensure modal adaptation and thereby increased bandwidth of long multi-mode fibers.

Passive system and independent of the communication protocol used, it works with either 1,310 or 1,550 nm single-mode commercial transceivers. AROONA-STAR is also compatible with WDM technologies, enabling a gradual and flexible increase of the network capacity towards very high speeds in addition to ensuring the durability of the cabling infrastructure.
