Multi-Service OTN Processors

Microsemi offers the industry's most highly integrated OTN processors, featuring our award-winning DIGI franchise,  delivering optimized power and footprint that uniquely addresses WDM transponders and muxponders, OTN switching platforms, data center interconnect (DCI), as well as OTN mobile fronthaul.

Metro OTN equipment requires an OTN processor that enables multi-service, packet efficient, and switchable transport architectures with integrated Carrier Ethernet transport features in order to meet the challenges of packet, video, and mobile backhaul. Microsemi's OTN processors deliver true any-service, any-rate, any-port transport with flexible high performance SerDes that are coupled with a rich set of OTN and SDH framing, mapping, and cross-connects to enable carriers to transition their networks from SONET/SDH to packet transport. Furthermore, Microsemi's OTN processors can interface gluelessly through standards-based interfaces to OTN switches, Ethernet switches, packet processors, SONET/SDH cross-connects, and asynchronous cross-points.

DIGI-G5, Microsemi's latest OTN processor, enables packet optical transport platforms to triple in capacity while slashing power consumption by 50 percent per port. DIGI-G5 delivers an unprecedented 1.2 terabits per second of combined OTN and client interfaces  supporting 10GE, 25GE, 50GE, 200GE, 400GE, Flexible Ethernet (FlexE), and Flexible OTN (FlexO). DIGI-G5 provides dense “Beyond 100G” (B100G) OTN transport support for cloud-scale 100G+ P-OTPs, DWDM, data center interconnect (DCI), and mobile fronthaul. Microsemi’s field-proven, carrier-qualified OTN switching software development kit (SDK) provides the lowest risk, fastest time to market, and lowest cost of development.
