SN 3000 Intelligent Optical Switch
Multiservice Aggregation and Grooming in an Optical Edge Switch
Combining multiple functions (ADM, BB-DCS, optical transport, and intelligent optical switching) in a single, compact network element offers a flexible solution to service interface, scalability, and inter-office facility (IOF) challenges at the network edge. The SN 3000 aggregates and grooms diverse services (TDM, PDH, ATM, IP, Ethernet) with maximum efficiency, at speeds from DS3 and E1 to OC-192/STM-64.
Applications
- Efficient multi-service aggregation and SONET/SDH ring termination, with integrated ADM and BB-DCS functions
- Cost-effective Ethernet service solutions
- Intelligent bandwidth management and flexible bandwidth services (OVPN, CNM, scheduled bandwidth) at crucial edge points
Support for sub-rate and full-rate Ethernet services includes an implementation of the Virtual Concatenation standard that routes individual constituent circuits over separate and diverse paths to enhance network resiliency. The SN 3000 brings the full resources and capabilities of a Sycamore intelligent optical infrastructure to the network edge.
