The PL-1000GT is PacketLight’s 100G Multiprotocol Multirate Muxponder/Transponder for high capacity long haul optical transport solutions.
It is ITU-T OIF standard based platform for providing a unified 100G optical transport layer supporting various client services including: 40G/100G LAN, 10G LAN/WAN, STM64/OC-192, OTU2/3/4 and 8G/10G FC over a single coherent 100G OTU4 wavelength.
The PL-1000GT is designed to provide 100G transport solution in modular and cost effe ctive way for building long distance networks. It uses pluggable optical modules on all the client optical interfaces, as well as standard based protocols on both client and line side. It is targeted for meeting the market demands for low power consumption, rack space savings and reduction in the overall solution CAPEX and OPEX by increasing the spectral efficiency of the optical transport solution by a factor of 10.
The PL-1000GT resolves the market dilemma of having to choose between 40G and 100G solutions by mapping up to two 40G clients into a 100G uplink. The platform thus allows migration from current to future service requirement (protocols and rates) seamlessly without infrastructure replacement.
The PL-1000GT integrates with PacketLight’s PL-2000 and PL-1000TN to deliver carrier-grade, high-end OTN network solutions capable of serving multiple applications and protocols of Data, Storage, TDM, ATM and Video
networks.
Highly suitable for applications such as:
• Building efficient Long-haul networks up to 2000Km spans
• Increasing the capacity and spectral efficiency of existing 10G/40G long-haul networks
• Implementing backbone for Utility, Oil and Gas and mining industry
• High bandwidth connectivity for data center and cloud computing
