Low power, 8 Watts, 2 x 10G single chip
OTN muxponder solution from Exar
Exar Corporation has introduced the low power, 8 Watts,
2 x 10G single chip OTN muxponder solution, MXP2 ASSP that
supports new G.709 features include ODU0/ODUflex and GMP
mapping and designed to help customers future-proof their
networks with support for the newest OTN standard features.
Exar claims it is the industries first OTN muxponder solution.
Exar says the data explosion coupled with the growing roll-out
of packet-based networks has driven the OTN standard to
include support for many client signals and the flexibility
of mapping to different container sizes and the new features
help alleviate data traffic congestion and increase the
effectiveness of the network whether it is Metro, WAN, LAN
or Wireless Backhaul. The MXP2 ASSP, with support for the
new G.709 features, provides any service, on any port with
any mapping enabling OEMs to expand their ROADM or Edge
Services product offerings to include support for Gigabit
Ethernet, High-definition Video and SAN protocols.
"The market has been waiting for suppliers to 'catch
up' and support the multi-signal requirements they need
in today's data-intensive, always-on environment,"
said Rich Deboer, vice president and general manager at
Exar. "The MXP2 ASSP delivers on these requirements
and as we have heard from our customers the market is ready
to embrace OTN."
