Download Polatis' All-Optical Switching - Helping Service Providers Do More App Note
Service providers need to make their optical infrastructures do more. They need:
- More bandwidth
- More reliability
- More flexibility
- More profitability
More Bandwidth
Polatis optical switches not only have the lowest loss of any optical switch on the market (0.9dB typical insertion loss, 1.8dB maximum insertion loss on an 80x80 switch), they also are 100G ready today. That means that service providers can use Polatis technology to get better performance from older, more troublesome fibers, implement colorless directionless switching (to minimize stranded bandwidth and reduce traffic delay), and include dark fiber assets in automatic protection schemes.
Polatis optical switches can help service providers get more bandwidth from their optical investments.
More Reliability
Polatis optical switches are built to last – and to deliver the capabilities that can make service provider networks even more reliable. Polatis technology enables service providers to increase network reliability through:
- Layer One Automatic Protection Switching (APS) with dark fiber integration that can operate in standalone mode or in conjunction with higher layer protocols
- Economical colorless/directionless/non-blocking optical meshed network implementations that increase network routing options
- Integrated, centralized, automated monitoring and test equipment integration for faster and more efficient problem identification and resolution
- Automated fiber distribution systems for FTTH and other broadband access networks with centralized add, move, change features and access network load balancing that reduce human errors and increase network uptime
Using just one, or all of the capabilities of Polatis technology, enables service providers to get more reliability from their optical network investments.
More Flexibility
Polatis optical switches can do a lot - in small, power-saving standalone and OEM form factors. Not only can they enable a variety of optical connectivity options - like APS, colorless/directionless/non-blocking switching, integrated network monitoring and testing and automated fiber distribution; they also can accommodate any speed (including 100G) and any protocol – anywhere and anytime.
Additionally, Polatis low price points and diverse form factors make it easy to integrate optical switch technology into an almost unlimited range of applications, equipment, and management platforms.
Polatis optical switches can help service providers get more flexibility from their optical investments.
More Profitability
More bandwidth (at a lower cost per Gbps), more reliability, more flexibility – they all add up to more profitability for service providers. When coupled with Polatis low insertion, operations, maintenance, and upgrade costs; it all adds up to fewer dollars spent delivering a greater number of services.
Polatis optical switches help service providers get more profitability from their optical investments.
