OPTera Metro 3500 Multiservice Platform
For TDM traffic, it provides a termination point for electrical services
(DS1, DS3, EC1) and allows efficient bandwidth utilization of the OPTera
Metro 3500 STS-managed backbone network through VT grooming.
For Ethernet traffic, it allows efficient transport through a Gigabit Ethernet
RPR connection to the OPTera Connect DX NE.
It is a modular network design with low initial costs. That is, you can
collocate OPTera Metro 3000 NEs according to demand. Each NE can
support a mix of TDM and Ethernet traffic or you can dedicate NEs for
either TDM or Ethernet traffic.
