Traverse Advantages
Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) allows multiple streams of data,
each using a separate wavelength, to travel along the same fiber at the same time.
DWDM multiplies the capacity of a fiber by the number of wavelengths present,
allowing service providers to increase the available bandwidth in their networks
without incurring the expense of adding fiber. The Traverse platform offers integrated
DWDM capabilities, with OC-48/STM-16 and OC-192/STM-64 wavelengths based on
the ITU grid, at spacings of 100 GHz.
In addition to the key features, the Traverse platform offers the following advantages:
■ The Traverse product family addresses a wide range of applications across service
providers’ access, metro and IOF networks.
■ Support for broad range of electrical and optical ANSI and ETSI interfaces: DS1,
DS3/EC-1, E1, E3, OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16,
OC-192/STM-64, 10/100 and GbE with industry leading port densities.
■ Advanced bandwidth management capabilities enable any combination of linear,
ring and inter-connected ring topologies.
■ The high-capacity Traverse architecture scales to an add-drop capacity of 95 Gbps
(1824 x 1824 STS-1/STM cross-connect matrix).
■ Automated end-to-end service provisioning using Turin’s TransNav management
system.
■ Server redundancy with 1 Primary server supporting up to 7 Secondary servers.
