Future Compatibility of 3rd party transceivers

There are more and more customers who realize the value of alternatives and use third-party transceivers. Lucky those choosing EDGE Optics

But there are still those who have remaining fears that third-party transceivers will not work properly.

One of those fears is future compatibility, or, in other words, that a non-original transceiver will not work after an equipment software update/upgrade.

EDGE Optics optical transceiver‘s hardware and software/coding is chosen according equipment vendor's original optical transceiver:

• •if original transceiver support only specific data rate (e.g. 1000M) – hardware used to manufacture EDGE Optics transceiver is chosen as well the one that support only that specific data rate (1000M); if original transceiver support multirate speeds (e.g. 10/100/1000) – then EDGE Optical transceiver as well are manufactured using hardware that support multirate speeds (10/100/1000);
• •EDGE Optics optical transceivers software/coding is prepared according original vendor transceiver code: checksum, encryption, etc. This means the same compatibility and functionality as the original optical transceiver.

There are some exceptions regarding functionality and transceiver description in output fields, but all above mentioned lead to a logical explanation that if, after the equipment software update/upgrade, third-party optical transceivers will not work properly, original optical transceivers as well will not work as they should. Otherwise, it is the manufacturers of third-party transceivers' failure in choosing the right hardware or software/coding preparation.

Choose EDGE Optics and let us take care of future compatibility!
