Use WaveSuite to achieve your business objectives
Optimize network performance and operations
Use WaveSuite to deliver the performance, reliability and security your customers demand from optical networks. WaveSuite helps you minimize human error and ensure that your network is set up, monitored and managed for peak capacity and efficiency. This reduces your CAPEX and OPEX.
You can also use WaveSuite to protect your network, services and customers from unauthorized access and denial-of-service attacks. WaveSuite helps you improve fault diagnosis and mean time to repair to further reduce OPEX, and provides accurate and streamlined problem resolution so you can deliver on service-level agreements (SLAs) and protect your revenue.
Scale network capacity
WaveSuite ensures that you always have real-time information about network performance and demand trends, and can seamlessly add new hardware and applications. Insights on trends will help you optimize your network and identify potential issues before they occur so you can protect your SLAs.
When it’s time to scale up, WaveSuite provides a complete status of your network inventory and topology for open optical line systems and coherent terminal end points. You can import this information directly into the WaveSuite planning application, which will help you design, plan and lay out your network more efficiently while making better use of available resources. WaveSuite can then deploy your chosen configuration directly to the network, streamlining the process and avoiding errors. When new capacity is available, WaveSuite helps you accelerate service order delivery to increase customer satisfaction and shorten time to revenue.
Monetize network assets
WaveSuite can make sure that you get maximum value from your network. It helps you automate service order orchestration and expose new service types for new or existing subscribers. It also helps you generate new revenue by extending premium value-added services to existing customers.
WaveSuite makes service slicing, spectrum sharing and virtual private network slicing easy and delivers all the assurance you need so you can offer and adhere to strict SLAs. You can also use WaveSuite to monetize your network synchronization capabilities.
WaveSuite automation applications
The flexibility of WaveSuite allows you to customize your automation levels to your operational environment. Each application can be used alone or in conjunction with others to plan, commission, provision, analyze and optimize your network to lower costs and increase reliability, or go to market faster with new services and grow revenue.
WaveSuite Network Operations Center
Enhance the Nokia optical network management software with more openness and functionality. Use it to deliver optical network services faster, ensure service protection and restoration, visualize your network clearly, and rapidly integrate your equipment.
WaveSuite Resource Controller

WaveSuite Health and Analytics
Real-time network intelligence that helps you make more informed decisions. Developed with Nokia Bell Labs, WaveSuite health and analytics combines expertise in optical networks and data science, including artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Use it to maximize fiber optic link performance, predict network issues and reduce network disruptions.
WaveSuite Advanced Diagnostics
Enhance the diagnostic capabilities of WaveSuite network operations center with a troubleshooting automation engine. Use it to rapidly identify and resolve issues before they impact SLAs, and to precisely locate and isolate fiber impairments.
WaveSuite Synchronizer
Control for the entire network synchronization infrastructure. Use it to simplify the distribution of precise frequency, phase and time synchronization information, and to monetize your network synchronization capabilities.
WaveSuite Optimizer
Maximize network performance and enable proactive planning through multilayer scenario analysis for when unexpected events occur. Use it to efficiently manage your optical network and improve its spectrum utilization so you can ensure that it delivers maximum capacity and value.
WaveSuite Planner
Facilitate efficient optical network design, planning, layout and analysis. Simplify the design process between multiple teams, ensure synchronization between network designs and the physical network, and accommodate optical termination points such as card-based interfaces, 400ZR/ZR+ pluggables, alien wavelengths and multivendor open photonic networks. Use it to seamlessly transition to multivendor line systems while maximizing the value of your network investments.
WaveSuite Service Enablement
Increase revenue without increasing CAPEX. Use it to create a more accessible network that caters to a larger customer base and enables new go-to-market channels. WaveSuite service enablement unlocks revenue potential through patented B2B2X software models, enables network virtualization, and facilitates new services and business partnerships based on the optical network-as-a-service business model, including connectivity-, spectrum- and synchronization-as-a-service.
