Marconi MSH64C 80 Gbit/s Optical Core Switch
High-capacity ADM/optical switch
The MSH64C next-generation multi-service switch extends GMPLS and OTN to outer core and metro applications.
The MSH64C gives network operators greater network flexibility and responsiveness. It provides competitive advantage in core networks, metropolitan networks and on customer premises. And, despite its 80 Gbit/s capacity, two MSH64Cs can be accommodated in a single ETSI rack. Advanced features, such as OTN switching, data support and ASTN/ASON control plane architecture using GMPLS protocols, make the MSH64C the obvious choice for today’s operators.
- Highly compact design allows for two MSH64Cs per ETSI rack
- Dual-technology switch fabric supports SDH and OTN switching in a single fabric
- Simplified network planning and rapid service provisioning from fully non-blocking, 80 Gbit/s cross-connectivity
- Improves optical-layer efficiency through high transmission rate, grooming and consolidation
- Cost-effective integration of SDH and DWDM layers via Very Short Reach (VSR) and colored interfaces
- Saves real-estate costs with ultra-compact design
- Investment protected with in-service upgrade to 960 Gbit/s and beyond
- Comprehensive service provision including:
- STM-1/4/16/64
- ODU-1/2
- Gigabit Ethernet
- ESCON/FiCon/Fiber Channel
- High-bandwidth ATM and Ethernet enabled by concatenation
- High-bandwidth ATM and Ethernet enabled by concatenation
- Simultaneous support for SDH protection schemes and GMPLS-based fast network restoration
- Carrier-class availability and reliability
