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:
