FS Unveils High-Density FTD Series WDM Platform: Six WDM Technologies Integrated in 1U for Maximum Rack Efficiency
NEW CASTLE, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FS, a trusted provider of ICT products and solutions, announced the launch of its independently developed FTD Series, an ultra high-density WDM platform. The FTD Series features six WDM products and supports up to nine plug-in modules within just 1U of rack space. Designed to meet the growing demand for flexible, scalable, and space-efficient optical transport, the FTD Series is ideal for modern data centers, carrier networks, and enterprise environments. The evolution of distributed cloud, edge computing, and AI workloads puts network operators under increasing pressure to make more efficient use of rack space and fiber resources. As backbone and metro aggregation nodes scale out to support higher service granularity, operators require modular WDM systems that can consolidate diverse wavelength types, simplify expansion, and reduce the physical footprint. The FTD Series meets these demands with its various products and compact modular design. It primarily features 22 Mux Demuxes supporting DWDM, CWDM, LANWDM, or OWDM technologies, along with other FWDM filters and CEx WDM modules. Moreover, the FTD Series comprises a high-density 1U chassis that accommodates any combination of these modules—for example, up to nine 4-channel, six 8-channel, or three 16-channel Mux Demux units—delivering a 125% increase in integration density compared to previous platforms, which can meet both current and future capacity requirements. Key Features of FTD Series: Integration of Six WDM Technologies: Supports DWDM, CWDM, LANWDM, OWDM, FWDM, and CEx WDM technologies for flexible combination. Ultra High-Density Design: Supports up to nine modules in a high-density 1U chassis, maximizing rack space utilization. Reliable Passive Platform: Delivers dependable, maintenance-free operation with zero power or cooling requirements, reducing long-term operational overhead. Plug-and-Play Design: Front-access modular design supports plug-and-play installation, simplifying deployment and reducing installation time. Scalable Expansion: Adds or replaces modules based on network growth or service changes, enabling dynamic scaling without costly infrastructure changes. Wide Range of Applications: Supports 400G/100G/10G/1G Ethernet, SDH/SONET, and Fibre Channel, etc., making it ideal for DCI, enterprise and campus networks, CATV systems and FTTx deployments. "The FTD Series is a high-density, flexible, and scalable passive WDM platform that delivers the latest generation of wavelength division solutions,' said Bener Peng, the product R&D manager of FS. 'Built with top-tier optical components, it emphasizes operational simplicity, compactness, and versatility.

Over 99% new telecom subscribers join Reliance Jio, Airtel network in May
The total number of telecom subscribers in India grew marginally to 1,207 million in May, with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel adding over 99 per cent of new customers during the month, according to data published by sector regulator Trai on Friday. The total net subscriber addition by telecom service providers was 4.36 million, while Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel jointly added 4.35 million, thereby accounting for 99.84% of the total net subscriber addition in May. The overall growth in subscriber base was offset by losses incurred by debt-ridden Vodafone Idea (Vi) and public sector firms BSNL and MTNL. India's total telecom subscriber base grew to 1,207 million, with landline connections rising by 3.34% to 38.6 million and mobile connections increasing to 1,168.4 million in May. The subscriber base in April was 1,203 million. Reliance Jio dominated the mobile subscriber base — including 5G FWA (fixed wireless access) connections — with a 40.92% share and a net addition of 2.7 million customers, taking its total wireless base to 472.4 million. Bharti Airtel held a 33.61% share, with a net addition of 275,000, bringing its total subscriber base to 390 million in May. Vi lost 274,000, BSNL 135,000, MTNL 470,000 and Reliance Communications lost 30 mobile subscribers in May. In the wireline segment, Reliance Jio led with a net subscriber addition of 1.276 million, followed by Bharti Airtel, which added around 99,000 million new subscribers. Tata Teleservices added 4,890, Vi 1,795, and STPL 252 new subscribers. State-run MTNL was the biggest loser of fixed-line customers in May, losing 66,834 while BSNL lost over 46,000 customers. The total number of broadband subscribers in the country reached 974.8 million in May. Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel submitted internet subscription data in the required format to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India after a five-month gap. Reliance Jio led the broadband segment with 494.4 million subscribers (including both mobile and wireless segments), followed by Bharti Airtel with 302 million, Vi 126.6 million, BSNL 34.3 million, and Atria Convergence 2.32 million. The 5G FWA subscriber base declined to 7.4 million in May from 7.5 million in April due to Reliance Jio shifting over 1 million Fixed Wireless Access - Unlicensed Band Radio (FWA-UBR) subscribers to the FTTx category, which falls under the fixed-line segment.

PLP AND LIGHTERA ANNOUNCE GROUNDBREAKING COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM FOR FTTX CLOSURES AND ROLLABLE RIBBON CABLE
CLEVELAND, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PLP, a global leader in broadband connectivity solutions, and Lightera, a global innovator in optical fiber technology, today announced a new compatibility program that pairs PLP's drop closures with Lightera's rollable ribbon fiber optic cable, streamlining design and deployment strategies for FTTx networks. This new collaboration provides a groundbreaking approach to fiber network design by enabling fiber-dense cables (144-288 fibers) to be deployed using compact closures in small handholes, significantly reducing labor requirements, material costs, and installation space needed for last-mile deployments. "Rollable ribbon cable technology was initially developed for high-density applications like data centers," said Mark Boxer, Technical Manager, Solutions and Applications Engineering at Lightera. This collaboration takes that same high-efficiency design and applies it to FTTx networks, unlocking new potential for compact, cost-conscious fiber installations." The compatibility program combines PLP's COYOTE® STP Pro Series (XL and L) and COYOTE® DTC closures with Lightera's DuctSaver® and AccuRoll® rollable ribbon cables. When used with smaller handholes, the combination of PLP's closures and Lightera's cables offers a highly scalable and cost-effective alternative to traditional loose tube or flat ribbon deployments that require larger dome-style closures and handholes. Taking this approach can result in a 30% cost reduction for the distribution portion of the network versus more traditional methods. "As the demand for fiber continues to grow, network designers need smarter, more flexible deployment options," said Matt Becker, Director of North America Communications Markets at PLP. "This program gives our customers a new level of design agility, delivering high fiber counts in smaller, more efficient packages that reduce overall build costs without compromising performance." PLP and Lightera will showcase the combined solution at Fiber Connect 2025 in Nashville, June 1-4.
