Business Wire
Applied Micro Circuits Corp., or AppliedMicro (Nasdaq: AMCC),
today announced the TPO415/C415 as the industry’s first standard
Optical Transport Network (OTN) multiplexer to enable 100
Gigabit-per-second OTU4 linecards. As the latest addition to its
portfolio of OTN processors, AppliedMicro’s TPO415/C415 improves
Internet capacity by 10X and addresses growing demand to facilitate
the switching of any client and any rate traffic in
Terabit-per-second Packet-Optical Transport Systems (P-OTS). The
company will demonstrate the 100G multiplexer during the Optical
Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition/National Fiber Optic
Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC), from March 4-8 at the Los Angeles
Convention Center.
The TPO415/C415 addresses the emerging market for OTN and Packet
switching Packet-Optical Transport Systems that are rolling out
over the next two years. During this period network providers and
vendors of transport systems will introduce a new OTN networking
layer that will complement the IP layer and replace SONET/SDH to
enhance the capacity and efficiency of the Internet by several
orders of magnitude. In addition to IP transport, the new OTN layer
will transport more specialized services such as Fibre Channel and
video and allow for migration away from old SONET/SDH networks.
“AppliedMicro is first to market with a standard 100G
multiplexer for hybrid OTN and packet switching systems,” said Lars
Pedersen, Chief Technology Officer of AppliedMicro TPACK A/S.
“TPO415/C415 is future-proof because it is adaptable in meeting
ever-changing customer requirements and evolving industry
standards. It is supplied with the industry’s most advanced
Applications Programming Interface and a hardware reference design
is available to help network system developers with rapid
deployment of 100G systems. AppliedMicro provides the safest path
to 100G P-OTS systems with advanced technology backed by our
market-leading presence and experience.”
The TPO415/C415 contains a flexible OTU4 multiplexer with
support of any size and combination of ODU0/1/2/3/4 and ODUflex
containers. The device offers a 100G capacity ODU Segmentation And
Reassembly (SAR) engine compliant with OIF-IA standards. It also
offers a 100G capacity ODUk/ODUflex packet mapper for support of
hybrid OTN and packet switching. Additionally, an advanced software
Application Programming Interface provides large efficiency for
software integration. AppliedMicro offers the most comprehensive
portfolio in the OTN space with a combination of SoftSilicon® and
HardSilicon™ solutions. TPO415/C415 is the newest part of this
portfolio that covers all applications and allows optimization for
any capacity need.
AppliedMicro’s TPO415/C415 is scheduled to be available in
April.
