Packet Optical Transport

While there are no certainties in life, there is an absolute need in mission-critical networking – the need to support TDM and packet services in the same network. And, increasing bandwidth, driven by the growth in video, is driving networks to Wave Division Mutliplexing (WDM) for scalability. Packet Optical Transport (POT) collapses all three needs – TDM, packet and WDM – into one box.

Packet Optical Transport delivers the benefits of convergence to mission-critical networks. POT puts any combination layers 1 (optical, WDM), 2 (SONET, Ethernet) and 3 (IP, MPLS, PBT, TDM) into one box.

WDM including cutting-edge ROADM technologies
Ethernet and MPLS switching support with the latest connection-oriented features
Reliable SONET support of legacy services
Cross-Connect between technologies to transparently support TDM to SONET migration

The result is reduced complexity and cost. Packet Optical products are characterized by modularity, hybrid switching fabrics, N degrees of transport and blade-based functionality.

Packet Optical Transport Architecture

The key features and benefits of POT include:

Reduced Complexity – multiple functions in one chassis reduces operational, port, power and space expenses
Flexibility – Blade-based architecture enables layers 1, 2 and 3 in one box
Technology Integration – a single OAM&P for end-to-end services
TDM to Packet Migration – cross-connect fabric enables a transparent evolution
Increased Reliability – consolidated functions eliminates points-of-failure such as jumpers and simplifies protection
