Fujitsu picks optical transport processor
Fujitsu has chosen the Intel Corp optical transport processor product line as a key component across its dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) platforms
The Intel IXF30009 is the industry's first optical device that provides the full range of G.709 compliant optical transport network (OTN) management features. These features will enhance carriers' abilities to cost effectively manage their networks. Optical transport processors are modular building blocks that enable networking equipment manufacturers to create standards-based products for metro, long-haul transport and DWDM systems, with shorter time-to-market and reduced development costs.

Developers can use these components to build optical network solutions by using the OTN management features.
"In the last year, carriers and multiservice operators have asked specifically for OTN capabilities", said Minoru Takeno, Group Vice President, Photonic Systems Group, Fujitsu.
"We chose the Intel optical transport processor product line because of its advanced OTN support, which enables us to build flexible and compact line cards for DWDM systems such as Flashwave7500".

"The Intel products allow us to standardise and offer transparent OTN services to the market early, while also reducing development and inventory costs".
"A close engagement between Intel and Fujitsu led to a robust and standards-based solution that allows Fujitsu to offer faster time to market and first to market advantage to its customers", said Howard Bubb, Intel Vice President and General Manager of the Communications Infrastructure Group.
"By using Intel components, Fujitsu's solutions enable its telecom carrier customers and multi-service operators to further capitalise on the existing infrastructure by transporting multiprotocol clients over existing optical transport networks".
The Intel IXF30009 is designed specifically for a broad range of applications, offering transparent aggregations of four 2.5Gbit/s signals and strong forward error correction capability that increase the reach of optical networks.
The aggregation of 2.5Gbit/s into 10Gbit/s client signals helps customers to extend the use of their existing 2.5Gbit/s network infrastructure while smoothly migrating to 10Gbit/s equipment.
This is particularly important for today's heterogeneous networks operated by multiple carriers.
