OTN hardware gets the 100 Gigabit treatment

AppliedMicro’s TPACK unit has unveiled the first of its 100 Gigabit Optical Transport Network (OTN) designs. Two devices were announced in November 2010 - the TPOT414 and TPOT424 - that perform 100 Gigabit mapping and framing functions, while in December a 100 Gigabit OTN muxponder (multiplexer-transponder) was announced that combines several of its designs.

 “The real market demand is for simple systems - the transponder and interfaces to the routers"
