Undersea Network
Modeling Tool

Tyco Telecommunications’ long-length ocean simulator supports the development of advanced undersea cable technology. The tool is verified against many laboratory test bed experiments, field trials, and full-capacity demonstrations on installed systems. This state-of-the-art, proprietary computer modeling tool is used for the design of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) communication systems and offers many benefits, including:

• Qualification to model systems over 12,000 km in length, point-to-point and branched networks
• Accurate representation of the physics affecting optical signal propagation
• Accurate modeling of various modulation formats, including polarization multiplexed signals
• Excellent accuracy in predicting channel performance for new systems and upgrades
• The capture of a broad range of transmission and amplifier technologies from legacy systems and new research initiatives
