Muxponder Solutions

Multirate 100G Muxponder IP Solution

With the broad use of 10G in networks and the acceleration of networks from 40G towards 100G, operators are looking for ways to minimize operational complexity by aggregating both legacy clients as well as 10G and 40G feeder networks into 100G for high-capacity transport.

Our Multirate Muxponder IP Solution enables aggregation of your sub-10G, 10G and 40G networks in a single-chip and is capable of supporting emerging client types such as 16G Fiber Channel.

Key Features

• Aggregation of sub-10G, 10G and 40G networks enables network simplification focused on 100G transport
• Industry's first transport solution that supports 16G Fibre Channel clients
• Fully integrated digital core provides client adaptation with forward error correction (FEC), ODTUG4 multiplexing of up to 100G of client traffic, OTU4 mapping and framing and line-side FEC

• ITU-T standard G.709 overhead processing
• Altera's industry-leading high-gain enhanced FEC (EFEC) is available
• Altera common OTN application programming interface (API) software suite

Benefits

• Aggregation of feeder and 10G/40G transport networks into 100G for transport enables network simplification
• Flexible FPGA implementation means you don't have to deal with a costly ASSP respin
• FEC options for both client and line interfaces enhance the value of your network aggregation
• Customization to provide solution differentiation and to streamline your integration efforts
