Smartoptics announced that Commsworld has chosen Smartoptics ROADMs, open management software and muxponders to upgrade its optical core network to 400G. The network connects Scotland with England and can now provide 100G services to customers. Replacing the incumbent vendor's setup with Smartoptics ROADMs and the DCP-404 decreases the required rack space from 10u to 2u.

This reduces both the cost of space and power consumption for Commsworld, increasing competitiveness.
