AUDI relies on the latest DWDM system technology from Pan Dacom Direkt to link its modern data centers on the Innovation Campus in Bavaria (Germany).
The SPEED-OTS-5000 systems offer Audi high flexibility and short response times while reducing operating costs such as fiber optic rental. Above all, the uninterrupted expandability of the system increases investment security in order to grow with the increasing demand for transmission capacity.
This is achieved by the multiple redundant design of the two locations via two routes and independent SPEED-OTS-5000 systems for both the LAN and the SAN network. It uses the SPEED-MUX 800G, the world‘s first modular 800 Gbps multiprotocol multiplexer card with pluggable CFP2 modules and Layer 1 AES 256 Bit Encryption.
With up to 400 Gbps per DWDM channel, Audi benefits from high flexibility while using future-oriented technology. Using all 64 available DWDM wavelengths together, up to 25.6 Tbps can be transmitted over a single fiber optic line.

Looking for a modern technology to interconnect data centers, Audi came across DWDM technology. The high transmission rates possible with this technology create a powerful solution that prepares Audi perfectly for the future. This paves the way for sustainable and high-performance innovation development in the areas of autonomous driving, electromobility and intelligent networking.
