MSP 3000 TDM Rack Modules

MICROSENS has enhanced its 100G Product lines with the pluggable version of the 100G Transponder and 100G Muxponder.

Adding to the 1RU solution available since 2012, these new versions are compatible with EKINOPS chassis already installed in the field. This offers much more flexibility for new or greenfield network deployments or upgrades of existing MICROSENS systems.

The total capacity of the MSP3700 chassis can be tripled by moving from 10G to 100G products.

These new 100G modules are managed like any other module in an MICROSENS chassis, without need for additional power supply or management interface.

The 100G Muxponder is designed with 12 aggregation ports instead of the typical 10 ports offered by other manufacturers.

Where it does not make sense to multiplex lower rate services directly on the 100G Muxponder, due to aggregation port limits, the 10G flexible multiplexer can be plugged directly into ports on the 100G Muxponder, allowing for aggregation without an expensive fabric or another device.

MICROSENS is leading the industry with a true coherent 100G access unit to address the increasing bandwidth demand seen in today’s metro and access markets. The growth in the number of data centers located in metro networks combined with the growth of high speed Ethernet business services is causing unprecedented demand for access capacity and putting pressure on metro networks to deliver. While non-coherent based optics may deliver attractive price points, the market has shown a clear preference for coherent transport because it delivers four times the spectral efficiency and superior transport performance.

MICROSENS designed 100G Metro Access specifically for the access market so they deliver maximum performance at low cost for higher and faster ROI. The modules all use pluggable client optics for easy interconnection to customer equipment and tunable line optics supporting all 88 DWDM channels so they can carry up to 8.8 Tbps on a single fiber without compromising performance. The modules are very compact delivering 2x100G units in only 2RU and highly power efficient at just over 1W per gigabit of transport bandwidth. Combining this with ease of operation, unmatched price points and superior performance makes MICROSENS the clear choice in 100G solutions.

As an industry leader of high-capacity optical transport, MICROSENS continues to expand its product portfolio to provide its customers with solutions that are optimized for business-critical applications. Metro-regional networks have witnessed unprecedented traffic growth over recent years, but network operators have had limited access to 100G solutions that allowed for cost-effective transport of that traffic. MICROSENS new 100G pluggable transponder and muxponder modules were engineered specifically for metro-regional applications. The results are three optimized modules that are efficient to operate using minimum space and power, and affordable to deploy in metro-regional networks.

With these modules part of the MICROSENS 100G solution suite, customers can address all aspects of their network (long-haul, metro, regional, access, rural, etc.) with the same platform — simply by selecting the 100G module that best meets their business needs.

The 2 port TDM module is part of the MICROSENS MSP 3000 Platform and is an ideal solution for service providers that offer Gigabit Ethernet and OC-48 services.

It occupies one slot in the MICROSENS Chassis and operates in two modes. In the first mode it aggregates and transports cost-effectively two GbE or GFC inputs over an OC-48/STM-16 line. In the second mode it is used as a CPE to transport OC-48 or STM-16 and has an OC-48/STM-16 interface on the client and line side.

This module offers optional 1+1 protection in both modes and accepts standard SFP optics. Using appropriate SFPs, the TDM card supports CWDM & DWDM and long haul transmission. The OC-48/STM-16 line interface is fully compatible with SONET/SDH equipment and STS-48c/AU4-16c and STS-24c/AU4-8c framing.

One of the MICROSENS 200G Metro Access module is a 2-port  muxponder module that aggregates 100GbE client interfaces to transport high bandwidth traffic more efficiently whether for data center connectivity, metro transport, customer router interconnection or just to increase the capacity and improve the efficiency of your fiber plant.

In parallel also a multiprotocol versions are available with up to 20 service which can be aggregated into 200G channel.

The 200G modules, based on 16QAM coherent optical modulation technology, doubles the maximum capacity per fiber pair compared with optical transport systems based on 100G while providing a significant reduction in power consumption on a per-10G basis. Deployable in both chassis of MSP3000 Platform, MICROSENS can deliver 400G of transport capacity in as little as 2RU or up to 1.2T in 7RU with industry-leading low power consumption of 0.65 watts per gigabit delivered.

The 200G module also provides investment protection as your capacity demands grow. Using the same hardware, the 200G module is capable of delivering 400G and even 1T in the future eliminating fork-lift upgrades, service disruption and additional CAPEX spend.

Interconnecting data centers demands ever-greater capacity to keep up with traffic expansion, handle the growth in cloud applications, and ensure data protection and disaster recovery.

The MICROSENSP 200G Muxponder, based on 16 QAM coherent optical modulation technology, leaps ahead in network capacity optimization. It doubles the maximum capacity per fiber pair compared with optical transport systems based on 100G coherent solutions. It also offers a huge reduction in power consumption per 10G.

There are solutions that address the data center needs with non-coherent-based optics. Despite their seemingly attractive cost point, non-coherent optics require the use of multiple wavelengths. MICROSENS provides true value with this 200G system.

The compact MICROSENS solution provides this high capacity and full flexibility in a 2RU footprint. Using an existing MICROSENS chassis already compatible with 10G and 100G products, customers can move up to 2x200G in a 2RU space, and 6x200G in a 7RU space. The MICROSENS 200G solution offers a real pay-as-you-grow approach.

With an industry-low power consumption of 7 Watts maximum per 10G module, plus streamlined, an unmatched price point and industry-leading features, MICROSENS is the clear choice in 200G transport solutions.

4 port STM-1 TDM Multiplexer module is a part of MICROSENS MSP 3000 Platform, a high performance and flexible carrier-class transmission system. The module is a bidirectional plug-in unit offering the aggregation and transport of up to 4 x OC-3/STM-1/ over one 1.25G line  or 1 x OC12/STM-4 over one 1.25G line. The 1.25G signal is compatible with other modules in the MICROSENS platform and can be aggregated again through the client ports of the higher speed TDM modules. This two step aggregation allows service providers to aggregate both GbE and TDM traffic on the same wavelength or aggregate up to 24 OC-3 circuits over one wave.

This module does not terminate the OC-3/STM-1 traffic and provides fully transparent transport. It utilizes standard SFP interfaces for the access and the line ports.

The TDM Multiplexer module occupies one slot in the MICROSENS chassis and is powered through the backplane of the chassis.

The MICROSENS 8 port TDM family of modules are amongst the industries most flexible multi-protocol DWDM add drop multiplexers. These modules have the ability to multiplex any mix of 1 GbE, 1 Gig Fibre Channel, 2 Gig Fibre Channel, 4 Gig Fibre Channel, OC-12/STM-4, and OC-48/STM-16 up to to a total bandwidth of 10 gigabits per second.

These modules have eight client ports which can be used as inputs for these different service types. All client ports are software programmable and can be reprogrammed to a different client service in the field, on the fly, without any effect on traffic being carried by other ports on the cards.

This module comes in two variants, the MS430686M which also supports add-drop multiplexing (ADM) and the MS430687/8M which does not have ADM capability. The flexibility in these line cards provides the end user with a number of advantages.

First, enterprises and service providers can utilize these line cards without any need to understand or forecast the mix of different traffic types that will need to be supported in the future. Client ports can be programmed to the appropriate service type at the time the need for providing that service type arises. The flexibility of these modules provides the ultimate economy in wavelength utilization for complex applications that involve multiple service types.
