Cisco ONS 15454
Metro Optical Transport Platform
Release 3.1.0

Cisco Systems is proud to announce that Cisco ONS 15454 Metro Optical Transport Platform Release 3.1.0 is available for order (Figure 1). This product release delivers OC-192 capability to the industry-leading ONS 15454 platform. Release 3.1.0 includes the following 10-Gbps (10G)-enabled components:

Increased shelf bandwidth—The latest cross-connect card, model number XC-10G, increases the bandwidth of the platform. This card enables termination and management of up to 60 Gbps of revenue-generating services.

Single-slot, long-reach OC-192 optical card—The OC-192 long-reach card allows users to take advantage of the fiber facility to carry additional services. The long-reach capability of the OC-192 card lowers network costs by reducing the need for optical amplification or electrical regeneration. This capability is provided in a package that requires only a single-shelf slot, enabling up to four OC-192 interfaces per shelf assembly.

OC-48 any-slot flexibility—The any-slot OC-48 functionality offers high-bandwidth drop interfaces to complement the OC-192 system capabilities and can be used to aggregate traffic from as many as five subtending rings from a single-shelf assembly.

Enhanced networking options—Four-fiber bidirectional line switch ring (BLSR) protection support further extends the flexibility of the ONS 15454 platform, enabling deployment of a single platform type across all transport architectures from a unified software load.

Continued Multiservice support—The latest E-Series Ethernet cards provide transport of 10/100BaseT and Gigabit Ethernet services, along with other time-division multiplexing (TDM) services, across all transport speeds and networking architectures.

This complete solution provides customers with the smallest 10G footprint and the broadest multiservice capability of any metro optical transport platform in the industry.

The Cisco ONS 15454 Release 3.1.0 is designed to meet the demanding and evolving optical transport needs of service providers and large enterprise customers. These customers need service density and velocity to obtain profitability with the highest possible revenue per wavelength while securing the lowest cost per incremental service. Today's networks also require efficient service delivery, bandwidth scalability, multiservice capability from a single platform, and transport protocol flexibility (aggregate multiple low-bit-rate services on any transport backbone bandwidth). Cisco ONS 15454 Release 3.1.0 exceeds these requirements with the following features:

Highest service density—Only metro optical transport solution to scale from DS1 to OC-192 in a single platform with integrated dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)

Multiservice support—Widest selection of service interfaces to support demanding metro transport network requirements

Most transport flexibility—Only metro optical transport solution to support all network topologies, including four-fiber BLSR

Lowest life cycle cost—Smallest footprint, easiest to engineer and install, and lowest cost per service
