Applied Micro Circuits Corp., or AppliedMicro
(Nasdaq: AMCC), today announced the demonstration of a complete OTN
network including a 100 Gigabit-per-second Packet-Optical Transport
subsystem supporting the Optical Internetworking Forum's (OIF) recently
completed OTN-over-Packet Fabric Protocol Implementation Agreement (IA).
The demonstration will take place at the company's booth #1453 during
the OFC Conference (OFC/NFOEC)
March 6-8 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The demonstration at OFC/NFOEC will show end-to-end silicon solutions
for multiplexing any client and any line rate traffic from 100 Mbps up
to 100 Gbps. AppliedMicro will showcase its latest OTN framers, mappers,
and physical layer devices on reference boards carrying live
ODU0/1/2/3/4/flex traffic in a versatile OTN network, including:
-
Industry's First OTU4 line-card solution for hybrid OTN & packet
switching in P-OTS
-
Most compact OTU4 muxponder in the market – 10G and 40G clients
-
Market leading OTU2 muxponder/ADM - 16 clients, any rate, any protocol
AppliedMicro ICs featured in the OTN subsystem demonstration include:
-
TPO415/C415, a 100G hybrid OTN and packet switching device
-
PQ60T 10/40G, a mapper/framer PHY, and TPOT/TPO404, a
transponder/muxponder
-
TPO134, an OTU2 Add-Drop multiplexer
-
PPC405, an AppliedMicro SoC that is ideally suited for control-plane
processing
"Carriers are deploying a new generation of switches in their metro and
long-haul networks to replace SONET and enable OTN and Ethernet
packet-based traffic to travel seamlessly at speeds of 100 Gigabits per
second," said Lars Pedersen, Chief Technical Officer of AppliedMicro
TPACK A/S. "The OIF's OTN-over-Packet Fabric Protocol spells out
sub-wavelength switching to the converged optical transport
infrastructure. AppliedMicro has designed products that enable
compliance with this recently announced standard, and our demonstration
at OFC/NFOEC will clearly show our leadership in this area. We also
offer support for all the dominant forward error correction (FEC)
schemes in the market. The inclusion of our HardSilicon™ and
SoftSilicon® products under common API control offers an unmatched
combination of efficiency and flexibility for system vendors.
In addition to its OTN subsystems solution, AppliedMicro will be
demonstrating two advanced Phy chips at OFC/NFOEC:
-
The industry's first CMOS Gearbox™ featuring four 28Gbps interfaces
-
10GBaseT Copper 10G Ethernet Phy that achieves longer reach and the
industry's best EMI noise immunity as tested in discriminating Tier-1
customer labs
