Optical Boosters and Amplifiers for SDH, MPLS-TP and Ethernet Networks

Reliable optical amplification for high-performance fiber networks

Versa Boosters are optical boosters and optical amplifiers designed to extend the reach and performance of fiber optic networks. They provide reliable, scalable optical amplification for SDH, MPLS-TP and Ethernet applications, supporting both single-channel and DWDM networks.

Integrated as part of DNWP’s complete optical transport solutions, Versa products help maximize network capacity, simplify upgrades and ensure long-term reliability.

Based on MPB Communications’ proven optical amplification technology, Versa Boosters provide a cost-effective solution for both new network deployments and infrastructure upgrades.

The modular architecture supports flexible configurations for both single-channel and DWDM applications, allowing each solution to be tailored to specific network requirements. With their compact design, low power consumption and straightforward installation, Versa Boosters help reduce rack space requirements, simplify deployment and lower operational costs.

Versa Boosters integrate seamlessly with wavelength converters, preamplifiers, Raman amplification and DWDM technologies, providing a scalable platform for increasing transmission distances, expanding network capacity and preparing optical infrastructure for future growth.

Versa Product Family

  • VERSA Power Amplifier (Booster) – Post-amplifier for increasing optical transmit power before launching the signal into the fiber.
  • VERSA Low-Noise Preamplifier – Optical preamplifier designed to improve receiver sensitivity and extend transmission distance.
  • VERSA Wavelength Converter – Converts 1310 nm optical signals to the 1550 nm wavelength range for long-distance transmission, supporting data rates from 155 Mbps to 10 Gbps.

DNWP delivers Versa Boosters either as standalone optical amplifiers or as an integral part of complete optical transport solutions. When deployed as part of a DNWP solution, the boosters are fully integrated into the same Network Management System (NMS), providing centralized configuration, monitoring and management.

Whether the objective is to extend transmission distances, increase network capacity or modernize existing fiber infrastructure, Versa Boosters form a key building block in delivering high-performance optical networks that are ready for tomorrow’s demands.
