With the continued growth of bandwidth hungry applications such as IPTV and peer-to-peer networking, there is a greater need for cost-effective optical transport. Menara products offer cost effective and transparent transport solutions for Ethernet and SONET/SDH traffic, with superior performance and enhanced OAM features not found in traditional non-OTN based systems. This is particularly true for the fast growing and cost-sensitive metro and regional parts of the network. Through a number of innovations at the IC integration, system architecture, and embedded software levels, Menara Networks has packaged all the necessary high performance transport attributes such as ITU-T G.709 OTN processing, Forward Error Correction and embedded network management support, traditionally only found in DWDM transponder systems, into a suite of MSA compliant optical transceivers. Menara’s optical transceivers offer advanced features such as adaptive receiver threshold optimization, network alarms and performance monitoring indicators pre-processing for superior optical performance and simpler end-to-end network management and control. Menara’s transceivers 100% MSA compliance ensures rapid adoption and integration into transport systems and multi-service provisioning platforms.
Menara’s industry only 10 Gbps pluggable XFP and XENPAK transceivers with integrated DWDM, OTN, and Forward Error Correction extend, for the first time, the value of DWDM networking to the layer 2/3 switch/router. The result: simplified and cost effective high performance packet transport with fewer network elements and full OAM&P and management support.
Menara’s unique MSA “systems-in-a-module” with integrated OTN successfully inter-operated with metro, regional and long haul leading vendor ROADM and DWDM platforms, achieving error-free transmission of over 1,200 km reach over SMF-28 fiber. Our transceivers provide:
