Simplified, Cost-Effective Operation
The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP provides capital and operational efficiency by addressing the
increasing demand for multiple services, greater transport capacity, networking flexibility, multiple
distance options, and management simplicity in a single platform. With innovative technology, a
metro-optimized Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP introduces intelligence to metro DWDM transmission
while addressing the continued need for increased bandwidth.
The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP uses the operational simplicity introduced in the Cisco ONS 15454
MSPP with user features such as multilayer graphical network, node, and card visibility; A-to-Z
network-based wavelength service provisioning; and graphical software wizards to simplify and
speed user operations for such tasks as initial ring turn-up, service provisioning, and network node
and bandwidth upgrades. The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP uses this architecture to introduce a level
of operational simplicity unheard of in metro DWDM networks. Using IP in the optical service
channel and MSPP-like software, the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP supports the following:
●
Scalable wavelengths (1–80) for superior cost-versus-growth trade-off, with in-service
growth to 112 wavelengths
●
Transport of 150-Mbps to 40-Gbps wavelength services, as well as aggregated TDM and
data services, for maximum service flexibility
●
Efficient GE and 10GE transport over DWDM with the Xponder service blades. Available in
two version (20-GE client ports and 2-10Gbps trunk ports, or 2-10GE client ports and 2-
10Gbps trunk ports), the Xponder provides unprecedented flexibility to map GE ports onto a
10Gbps Wavelength performing a variety of Layer-1 or Layer-2 functions. This new
approach provides a more efficient use of available bandwidth and unprecedented GE over
DWDM mapping and traffic policing flexibility.
●
Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP) on a blade combining add/drop multiplexer
(ADM) and transponder functionality using multirate SFP (client) and XFP (trunk)
configurable interfaces to consolidates many of the aggregation functions traditionally
performed on MSPP platform with multiple service blades and common cards. With one
blade, carriers are able to aggregate OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and GE signals (on a user
definable port-by-port basis) on to a single-wavelength trunk circuit
●
Flexible transmission capability up to 1240 miles (2000 kilometers) through the use of
advanced amplification and FEC or E-FEC technologies to support a wide range of
networking applications
●
Ready-to-use card architecture for complete flexibility in configuring DWDM network
elements: terminal nodes, optical add/drop nodes, line amplifiers, and dispersion
compensation within amplified or unamplified networks
●
High shelf density for high-bandwidth (10-Gbps) wavelength services
●
Fully reconfigurable degree-2 optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) for superior network
flexibility and reduced complexity
●
Mesh and multiring topology support in the optical domain with the possibility to manage
nodes facing up to eigth degrees
●
Flexible add/drop capabilities, from 1- to full 112-channel granularity, supporting both band
and channel optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs)
