LONG HAUL TRANSPORT

DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Carriers are seeing a rapid increase in long-haul traffic driven by growth in Internet capacity, content distribution, commercial services and mobile voice and data applications. They are looking for cost-effective high-capacity multi-reach transport solutions with scalability to prevent increasingly frequent network overbuilds and simplified operations to minimize operational complexity and expenditure.

KEY APPLICATIONS

• Carrier backbone infrastructure
• Corporate backbone

SOLUTION

The FSP 3000 platform provides a cost-effective multi-reach solution for high-capacity optical transport over regional and nationwide distances.  Multiple reconfigurable node configurations support flexible network topologies with long unregenerated reach at 10Gbit/s and 40Gbit/s per optical channel (100Gbit/s in near future). IP/Optical integration with leading router vendors decreases overall network cost (CAPEX and OPEX).

FEATURES + BENEFITS

• Lowest cost-per-bit transport
• 80 channels of 10Gbit/s or 40Gbit/s (up to 3.2Tbit/s) with sub-wavelength aggregation
• High density transponder and muxponders
• Up to 800Gbit/s per single-depth rack 
• Full WSS-based ROADM portfolio to enable dynamic optical networking
• Extended reach in excess of 2500 km through EDFA and Raman optical amplifiers
• High performance, adaptive all-tunable optical interfaces
  
• High availability
  • Integrated network protection/restoration
  • Full G.709 functionality for end-to-end optical channel management
    
• Ease-of-Use
• Integrated GMPLS Control Plane for topology discovery and simplified provisioning
• IP/Optical integration with routers (optical interfaces, control plane, NMS)
• FSP NM/SM platforms for simplified management
