ROME - Wave-2

Imagine an Automated Data Center
The Robotic Optical Engine™ (ROME)
ROME™, Wave2Wave’s latest innovation in network connectivity, is a
dynamic fiber cross connect for layer 0 automation. ROME™ enables full
control of the physical connections in a data center, allowing changes to
Layer 0 to be made automatically, remotely, quickly, and without manual
intervention. ROME™ supports a wide range of fiber connections from
512 to 2,048 with low optical loss and no latency.
Cutting-Edge Technology
All Roads Lead to ROME™
The Robotic Optical Engine™ (ROME) family of automated connectivity solutions
enables facility operators to deliver new services, design and operate networks
efficiently and flexibly, improve customer service and network performance, and
quickly recover from equipment port and fiber faults.
Wave2Wave’s global teams in the U.S., Israel, and Asia collaborated to engineer
ROME’s patented cutting-edge technology; creating a product which is innovative
in it’s simplicity, and which lowers cost while increasing quality and reliability.
ROME™ Family
3 Configurations to Fit Any Application
ROME #1
The ROME 500 offers 512 fiber connections in either 256 LC
duplex ports or 512 LC simplex ports - available in single-mode
or multi-mode connectivity. Some example applications are:
10G, 100G, and Fibre Channel.
The ROME 1000 offers 1,024 fiber connections with the MTP
form factor. It supports any-to-any connections for applications
such as QSFP+, QSFP28, and Infini-band.
The ROME 2000 offers the largest number of fiber connections
at 2,048, also with the MTP form factor. Like the ROME 1000,
example applications include: QSFP+, QSFP28, Infini-band.

Layer 0 Management
Automated Remote Control
ROME comes with management software to remotely re-configure the physical layer, on
demand or scheduled, handle faults, provision customers and monitor alerts.
ROME uses robotic technology to precisely and reliably make the physical connections.
Because ROME is purely optical, there is no electronic latency and very low optical loss.
Example Applications
Data Center Architecture
ROME can be used in a variety of applications. In the data center, it can be part of the
backbone architecture to provide full layer 0 automation across the entire data center.
Lab Automation
In lab automation, ROME can provide
all the tracking and switching of
connections, reducing the cost and time
of manual connection maintenance.
Leaf & Spine
Spine & Leaf
In the leaf and spine
architecture, ROME can
be part of the spine to
offer on-demand optical
circuits between leaf
nodes for low loss, &
longer life connections.
