…applications and data rates. The product is expected to simultaneously aggregate multiple traffic types, including SONET/SDH (at both the SONET levels of OC-12 and OC-48 and the SDH rates of STM-4 and STM-16), ATM and fast IP in a ring environment, providing network survivability and the ability to add or drop…

…flexibility as well as ease of maintenance and operation * Multi-protocol support * 1G/2G/4G FC and FICON, ESCON, Fast Ethernet, GbE, STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12 and STM-16/OC-48 * Client bit rate range from 125 Mbps to 4.25 Gbps at 850,1300 or 1500nm Ciena may from time to time make changes to the products or…

Government agencies and military bases have deployed traditional Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs) throughout their networks to offer end-users high-speed OC-12, OC-3, DS3 and DS1 services. With the growth in bandwidth requirements for data, there is a need for deployment of next-generation ADMs that offer Ethernet…

…capacities from 50 Mbps up to 10 Gbps. This provides much greater flexibility than forcing customers into one of the standard POS service capacities (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and OC-192). * Improved Data Service Availability – CoreDirector combines intelligent mesh functionality with traditional SONET/SDH protection…

…pay for the aggregate rate of traffic running around the ring - not for the bandwidth that actually is used by customers. For instance, to deliver OC-12 (STM-4) service using SONET gear to a total of four customers on a ring, a carrier must deploy an OC-48 (STM-16) ring with costly OC-48 (STM-16) equipment…

…2000. Flexible Concatenation In legacy networks, bandwidth demand is arbitrarily shoehorned into SONET/SDH-sized transport containers (OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, etc.). Ciena is using a combination of silicon and software to redefine how carriers access bandwidth within each bitstream. Flexible Concatenation…

…upper hand." Ciena is enabling OC-48 and OC-192 Wavelength Services today, and with Ciena?s Transparent Service Multiplexing technology, OC-3 and OC-12 wave services also are cost-effective through the high-speed transport of SONET/SDH-framed signals, including payload and overhead, on a single wavelength…

…to replicate data over privately-owned Wide Area Networks (WANs), and also over service provider leased lines (Private Line GbE, DS3, SONET OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, SDH STM-1, STM-4, STM-16). In addition to the solutions available in EMC Select, Ciena also provides the following storage related services…

…-to-point connections, a customer could realize approximately $47,000 savings per year with the hubbed SONET Services by provisioning one aggregated OC-12 port with channelized, switched delivery to four different OC-3s at four different end locations. The services allow carriers and service providers…
