The Tellabs® 7100 Optical Transport System is
an advanced services transport system that supports multiple transport protocols on any port.
Tellabs® 7100 Optical Transport System (OTS) combines the most advanced optical networking and services layer technologies on one seamless platform. Designed to support current Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) ring capabilities, the Tellabs 7100 OTS ensures a smooth migration to future packet-based services over mesh networks.
Unique and multi-patented system technologies enable true next generation multiservice delivery. An integrated dynamic optical core combined with an intelligent services interface delivers ADM cross-connect and Layer 2 switching capability on a single blade.
- The optical core meets today's network needs while supporting the ability to effortlessly deploy additional nodes for future expansion via a multi-degree Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM). Expanded ROADM capabilities offer 44 channels of bandwidth in each direction to economically transport the full triple play of voice, data and video. Each one of the 44 channels gives service providers fully integrated ADM functionality on a single blade.
- An intelligent services interface mimics currently installed ADM rings and Layer 2 aggregation with a simple pair of modules, eliminating the costly implementation of stacked rings, back-to-back boxes between rings and multiple rows of supporting equipment.
The Tellabs 7100 OTS not only addresses current network requirements in a cost-effective, efficient manner, but supports strategic deployment of future native packet-based solutions.
CapEx/OpEx Savings
- Cross-connect functionality on a single blade eliminates need to deploy and manage external ADMs or Layer 2 switches.
- Fully tunable transponders and WSS-based ROADM modules significantly reduce truck rolls and simplify sparing issues.
- "Pay as you grow" architecture — a common switch fabric can be added in the future to further enhance the delivery of services.
Increased Network Flexibility and Service Delivery
- Supports up to 44 channels to provide services ranging from 100 Mbps to 40 Gbps.
- Multi-degree ROADM architecture gives service providers the ability to provision lightpaths where needed to deliver services and easily respond to unexpected demand in the network
- New services can be added with a simple "point and click" through the Tellabs® 7194 Network Management System (NMS).
- Topology agnostic architecture works in linear add/drop, ring or mesh networks.
Simplified Engineering & Planning
- Network design and future additions of new services are easily planned and implemented using the Tellabs® 7196 Optical Subnet Planner tool.
- Ability to perform upfront "what if" scenarios ensure that the most cost-effective solution is deployed from the outset.
- Supports hitless migration from a low cost Optical Line Amplifier (OLA) node to a fully functional ROADM network element.
- Requires no user-initiated configuration changes to add additional services as the intelligence built into every 7100 OTS network element takes care of all the details.
