Apollo 9914
High Capacity OTN/Packet Switching

Apollo 9914 switching and grooming provides future-proof capability to address changing mixes ofLayer 1 transparent transport and Layer 2 packet switching traffic, while ensuring a maximum fillof premium 100G, 200G, and 400G network interfaces. It also delivers the highest level of network
availability through service-specific ASON restoration, using either centralized SDN or peer GMPLS
signaling.
With ample 5.6T switching capacity in an energy-efficient, half-height rack, Apollo 9914 excels at
medium-scale applications. Apollo 9914 interworks seamlessly with the other members of theApollo family to construct basic to complex optical networks, for the broadest range of clients atthe lowest cost per bit.
