Intelligent Optical Core Switches
As service providers focus on profit, CoreDirector intelligent optical switching systems have become a key component of networking strategies for CTOs and CFOs. CTOs appreciate the CoreDirector ’s ability to consolidate multiple optical network elements into a single platform, automate network operations, and improve network reliability. CFOs appreciate the increased profit margin from CoreDirector driven cost reductions and network efficiency improvements that increase and sometimes double the amount of revenue-generating traffic on their networks
CIENA's amplifiers are among the flattest in the industry, delivering high channel counts through 15 or more amplifier sites without excessive tilt. CIENA's amplifier offerings include both Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) and Raman amplifiers that provide low-noise amplification for a variety of span losses. Our modular approach to amplifier design gives the CoreStream™ platform added flexibility, and allows carriers to select the best amplifier solution for a wide range of applications
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing System
CoreStream Agility Optical Transmission System delivers Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transport capacity of 2 Tb/s over a single fiber in the C-Band alone. Designed for service providers requiring scalable capacity, design flexibility, and network automation, CoreStream Agility has an open architecture that enables efficient transport of voice, video, and data, while lowering the overall cost of delivering new and existing service offerings
Alarm Monitoring, Inventory, and Real-time Performance Statistics Tool
CV 1000 is one of the Standard Management tools provided with the CN 1000 products. CV1000 is a centralized application for displaying network alarms, element inventory, and real-time performance statistics for the CN 1000 DSLAM, CN 1000 BLC, and CN 1000 FX
Setup, Provisioning, Management, and Maintenance Tool
CV Craft is one of the Standard Management tools provided with the CN 1000 products. CV Craft is an SNMP-based setup, provisioning, management, and maintenance tool for the CN 1000 DSLAM, CN 1000 BLC, and CN 1000 FX. Field technicians can use it to quickly and easily perform initial system setup from a laptop connected to the CN 1000. Operators and administrators can then use it from a remote location to configure the network, add and activate voice and data services, perform maintenance and diagnostics, and manage software images
Multiservice Edge Switching Platform
The DN 7000 Series Product Family offers service switching capabilities across the entire network span, from modern data-aware access networks to the traditional edge of the core. Service providers can now deploy right- sized solutions based on customer demand and service area density, all at lower price points than any other product on the market today. The DN 7000 series delivers native Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet, Circuit Emulation Services (CES), and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) functionality. It also allows service providers to protect and expand their current Layer 2 investments, and migrate their existing services to IP/MPLS-based converged backbones
For MetroDirector K2™ Multiservice Platform
DS-1/T1 Interface Card accommodates 28 DS-1 ports, each of which can be independently configured to accept Super Frame (SF), Extended Super Frame (ESF), or clear-channel DS-1 (1.544 Mb/s) signals, which are then mapped into SONET VT1.5 signals by the card
For MetroDirector K2™ Multiservice Platform
DS-3/EC-1 (STS-1E) Interface Card (known as the ACDEC Interface Card) features individual ports which can be independently provisioned for clear-channel DS-3 (44.736 Mb/s) or SONET Electrical Carrier Level 1 EC-1 (51.84 Mb/s) signals. EC-1 is used by many service providers to connect SONET transmission systems to switching systems. For STS-1 and AU-3 mapping, each of the 24 ports each can be independently provisioned as DS-3 or EC-1
ATM Fabric Cards for the CNX-5™ and DS3 Configurations
The DS3 WAN Card and the Fiber Enhanced Channel Test Unit (Fiber ECTU) are the ATM Fabric Cards used in the DS3 configuration of the CIENA CNX-5TM Broadband DSL System; a solution designed to DSL-enable Lucent SLC® Series 5 (SLC-5) Digital Loop Carriers (DLCs). Together, these cards perform ATM aggregation, switching, and traffic management for multiple CNX-5 systems connected by a fiber ring and provide a DS3 network interface
Subscriber Service Card for all CNX-5™ Configurations
The Enhanced Channel Unit (ECU) is a Subscriber Service Card used in the CIENA Broadband DSL System, a solution designed to DSL-enable Lucent SLC® Series 5 (SLC-5) Digital Loop Carriers. The ECU replaces the legacy POTS Channel Unit to provide two standards-compliant ports of POTS+DSL. The ECU installs the same way as a regular SLC-5 Channel Unit, and DSL service is provisioned the same way as typical DSL service from a DSLAM. The simple, integrated approach of the CNX-5 Broadband DSL system delivers the most cost-effective and scalable solution for providing DSL service to subscribers served by SLC-5 remote terminals
For the CN 2600™ Multiservice Edge Aggregator
The Ethernet MUX Optical (EMUX-0) Card enables the CN 2600™ Multiservice Edge Aggregator to multiplex several 100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet or Fibre Channel (FC) signals into one OC-48 wavelength. The EMUX-O card enables service providers to cost-effectively deliver Ethernet services with 5-nines carrier-class reliability. Because the EMUX-O card supports two line side interfaces, it can protect against fiber cuts.
For MetroDirector K2™ Multiservice Platform
Fast Ethernet Bridging (FEB) Card enables service providers to deliver reliable, flexible, and efficient Fast Ethernet services to their customers. With embedded Layer 2 switching capabilities within the SONET/SDH multiservice platform, service providers can provide point-to-point tunnel or shared-packet switched Fast Ethernet services in a traditional SONET/SDH network
