Frequently asked questions
Common service provider · optical questions, answered by the Uniqcli Team.
What is Routed Optical Networking?
Cisco's architecture that moves coherent DWDM optics (400G ZR/ZR+) into the router, collapsing the separate IP and optical transport layers into one — fewer boxes, less power, and simpler operations.
When should I use ZR+ pluggables versus a transponder?
ZR/ZR+ pluggables fit metro and regional spans directly from the router; longer or higher-channel-count spans still use NCS 1000/2000 transponders and amplification. We model reach, channels, and budget before quoting.
Can I converge without replacing my whole optical line system?
Often yes — Routed Optical Networking can overlay onto an existing line system and migrate in phases. We design the path so services stay up during the transition.
Do you scope the fiber and amplification too?
Yes — transceivers, amplifiers, ROADM degrees, and fiber characterization are counted alongside the routers so the optical budget closes at turn-up.
