AppliedMicro Announces Full Solution Availability of Industry's First 100G OTN ...
23.02.12
The 100G transponder/muxponder is capable of multiplexing any
combination of 10G and 40G client signals into a 100G OTN signal (OTU4).
As a member of AppliedMicro’s family of 100G OTN solutions, the
Muxponder is designed to help operators expand network capacity of the
Internet by a factor of ten to support increasing global demand for high
definition video, mobile, social networking, business transactions,
video conferencing and cloud computing services. Additionally, these
100G OTN pipes are being deployed between high capacity data centers
where significant growth is driving demand for higher speed connections.
AppliedMicro’s 100G Muxponder supports any combination of signals from
10G and 40G Ethernet to legacy OC192/OC768 SONET/SDH, as well as 8G and
10G Fibre Channel. As a result, the solution can carry both data and
storage traffic efficiently and can be used for file and backup
synchronization between large data centers. It also interoperates with
all major forward error correction (FEC) schemes in long-haul optical
network architectures. The solution unifies AppliedMicro’s TPO/TPOT404
transponder/muxponder and PQ60T 10/40G mapper/framer PHY with a common
Application Programming Interface (API) that enables efficient
integration and maintenance efforts for equipment vendors.
