Altera’s Optical Transport Network (OTN) solutions provide the optimum level of integration and flexibility while addressing the increased development-cost and time-to-market challenges inherent in complex transport applications.
Our IP portfolio supports entire OTN design applications in a single device, scaling from 10G to 100G and beyond, and supporting multistage, low-order OTN multiplexing at ODU0 and ODUflex granularity.
Our integrated OTN intellectual property (IP) solutions will:
- Simplify your design by providing fully integrated, tested IP solutions for transponder, muxponder, and packet-optical transport system (P-OTS) applications to meet network requirements
- Increase flexibility and reduce risks by utilizing our FPGA programmability
- Streamline your system integration and customize a solution to meet your requirements, such as supporting a custom FEC algorithm or interfacing to a proprietary backplane
- Reduce solution cost and focus your internal resources on developing specific features to your product by licensing our standards-based IP
