The blow-out growth of data traffic brings huge bandwidth pressure to the transmission network. The operators feel urgent to introduce 100G or even beyond 100G technology. Meanwhile the rapid development of IP services and increasingly complicated network topology require the transmission network implement fast service provisioning and provide large-capacity, multi- granularity and multidirectional cross-connect scheduling capability. Therefore, the large-capacity cross-connect transmission equipment with 100G and beyond 100G transmission capability and packet switching function that can schedule ODUk granularity services flexibly and efficiently has become the focus of operators.
Based on iOTN platform, ZTE launches 100G and beyond 100G oriented brand-new universal switching equipment – the ZXONE 9700 series product, which supports 10G/40G/100G/400G/1T transmission rate. It can perform electrical layer switching and packet switching as well as 10G/40G/100G/400G/1T-wavelength optical layer switching. It’s mainly applied in backbone core layer and local/metro networks, completely meeting the operators’ needs for transparent transmission, flexible scheduling, aggregation processing of large-granularity data services and service management monitoring.
