The Apollo OPT9648 is a high-capacity OMLT system targeted for metro core and regional/long-haul applications with a multi-terabit universal fabric. By just plugging in the right cards, you can configure it as a high capacity ODU cross-connect, high capacity CESR system or OMLT system, supporting any mix of ODU and packet switching. By using a variety of L1, L2 and L3 service cards and switching fabrics options, the OPT 9648 meets your network requirements. Part of ECI’s 1Net framework, the OPT9648 supports a variety of state-of-the-art ROADM modules, fix and tunable lasers and a GMPLS-based control plane, enabling fully flexible WDM networks with colorless, directionless and contentionless functions.
Easy provisioning of new services: Plug-and-play and ease of installation, reducing opex and
capex significantly
Multiservice and future-proof: Universal fabric ensures there is no stranding of assets over
time as the traffic mix changes, and support for OTN as well as packet traffic ensures strong
ltiservice support of both new packet and legacy circuit-based services
Flexibility & modularity: Universal I/O slots ensure full utilization of the chassis and eliminate
the potential stranding of any I/O card assets. Photonic modules, L1 and L2/3 service cards can
be installed in any of the universal slots. In stand-alone optical configuration, the fabric slots are
used as any other universal slots in the system
Pay-as-you-grow: No penalty over functionalities not deployed right away, through scalable I/O
and the addition of new technologies, such as WDM or CESR, only when needed
