Marconi MSH2K 320Gbit/s SDH/OTN Optical Core Switch
High-bandwidth ATM and Ethernet
The MSH2K packs a 320Gbit/s dual-technology (SDH/OTN), non-blocking cross-connect into a single subrack.
The MSH2K is ideal for optimizing existing networks and as the foundation for new networks. Its high-capacity, multi-capability switch and integrated DWDM translate directly into reduced network costs through traffic optimization and rapid service provisioning. Investment is protected through advanced features such as in-service expansion, OTN switching, data support and ASTN/ASON control plane architecture using GMPLS protocols, making the MSH2K the obvious choice for today’s operators.
