Applied Micro Circuits Corp., or AppliedMicro (NASDAQ:AMCC),
today announced the industry’s first standard 100 Gigabit per
second (100G) Muxponder (multiplexing transponder) solution for
Optical Transport Networks (OTN). The 100G Muxponder can multiplex
any combination of 10G and 40G client signals into a 100G OTN
signal (OTU4). As a member of AppliedMicro’s family of 100G optical
network processors for OTN, the 100G Muxponder solution is designed
to help network operators expand the capacity of the Internet by a
factor of ten to support the exponentially growing bandwidth demand
as a result of high definition video, mobile, social networking,
video conferencing and cloud computing traffic.

deployments as early as April 2011. (Photo: Business Wire)
The solution unifies AppliedMicro’s TPO404 OTU4 multiplexer and
PQ60T 10-40G mapper/framer with a common Application Programming
Interface (API) that enables efficient integration and maintenance
efforts for equipment vendors. 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.
It also provides interoperability with all major forward error
correction (FEC) schemes in long-haul optical network
architectures.
“AppliedMicro provides a common software API for both its
SoftSilicon and ASSP solutions which makes it efficient to
integrate system software and maintenance efforts onto one platform
or line card,” said Lars Pedersen, CTO of AppliedMicro’s TPACK A/S
subsidiary. “System design for 100G platforms is greatly simplified
and streamlined with a common API, and it provides software
investment protection for future muxponder upgrades as
AppliedMicro’s highly integrated silicon devices come to market
offering even greater cost-reduction potential.”
Additionally, AppliedMicro provides complete reference platforms
for 100G blades and systems to help reduce risk and facilitate the
adoption of 100G technology by equipment vendors and network
operators.
AppliedMicro’s PQ60T is the industry’s highest density, lowest
power 10G/40G Optical Transport Network (OTN) framer/PHY
System-On-a-Chip (SoC) for Carrier Ethernet router and WDM
transport systems. PQ60T additionally achieves unprecedented low
power levels while providing higher capacity for next-generation
systems.
Other members of AppliedMicro’s 100G OTN family include the
TPOT414 and TPOT424 100G transponders for metro/core OTN systems.
Based on SoftSilicon programmable technology, these devices are the
first to market to offer integrated support for the
recently-adopted 100GE (IEEE) and OTU4 (ITU-T) interface
standards.
Pin-outs and data sheets of the 100G Muxponder are available now
to enable equipment vendors to initiate their board layout work
immediately.
