Module description

The 1830 PSS is a scalable, next-generation Dense Wave Division Multipexer (DWDM) platform that supports data center aggregation for Ethernet, Fiber Channel (FC) and other protocols. Multiprotocol services can then be dynamically and flexibly transported over metro and long-haul spans, using Tunable and Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (T-ROADMs) for optical wavelengths. The 1830 PSS enables transparent L2 Ethernet or FC and L3 IP services over the optical link.
