“Telecom and datacom equipment consolidation will continue as carriers demand converged IP and optical infrastructure solutions to lower their capital and operating costs,” said Travis Karr, vice president and general manager of PMC-Sierra’s Communication Products Division. “PMC-Sierra’s OTN product family enables OEMs to standardize their hardware and software around a single platform for carrier router, switch and transport equipment.”
The META 20G is the latest addition to PMC-Sierra’s OTN product portfolio, which includes the HyPHY 20G and HyPHY 10G for Packet Optical Transport Platforms (P-OTP) and Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPP). The portfolio provides a chipset solution for end-to-end integration of OTN across metro networks.
“With Global IP traffic forecast to almost double every nine to twelve months for the next few years, we’re seeing the industry move towards IP/MPLS-optimized networks with OTN as the baseline transport technology,” said Yuval Bachar, VP, CTO of HSBU, Juniper Networks.
