Apollo 9904X

Pay as you grow Metro OTN Switch

Apollo 9904X makes it economical to extend the benefits of OTN switching
to metro networks; namely, for grooming multiple layer 1 services onto fewer
wavelengths, rapid software-controlled service provisioning, and dynamicrestoration. Its unique integrated fabric design enables pay-as-you-grow capacity
expansion in 700G increments, up to 2.8T, without having to invest in separate
switching cards. Its 400G CFP2 DCO line interfaces likewise deliver capacity witheconomy. The 9904X also aggregates L2 traffic to reduce the number of costly
router ports, and assigns bandwidth dynamically to this traffic using ODUflex.
Apollo optical transport and switching platforms combine to deliver high-performance access-to-core optical networking solutions
at the lowest cost per bit. Highly modular, they are tailorable into solutions that precisely meet current needs, and can evolve
economically to accommodate traffic growth and new technologies. All Apollo platforms support multiservice client interfaces, as well
as alien wavelengths, shared spectrum, and packet services. They are controllable through Muse Domain Orchestrator, or directly, via
open industry-standard interfaces, and can stand by themselves in disaggregated networks such as for Open Optical Line Systems.
