Nokia Siemens Debuts Optical Platform
Nokia Siemens Networks has launched the hiT 7080’s version 4.2, a high capacity and multi-service optical network platform designed to be compact and scalable, support any network topology, and be deployed anywhere in the network.
With a higher port density than previous versions – 16 vs. eight – it reduces the number of extra cards and platforms required. It is a multiservice provisioning platform offering direct interworking with DWDM via colored interfaces and OTU2 interfaces (ODU1 multiplexing into ODU2 is supported).
As a metro/core platform, it is designed to support switching capacities of 40G low order and 340G high order as well as multiple interfaces, including Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and 10G Ethernet connections. It features automation, remote management, and a multi-failure protection functionality.
