Transmode has unveiled the EMXP IIe 240, a new platform for high-density, low-power 10G Ethernet switching for metro-edge packet-optical transport applications. As its name implies, the new EMXP IIe 240 unit extends the switching and port density of Transmode's EMXP II/IIe portfolio of fiber network systems via support for 240G non-blocking switching and 24x10G ports on a single plug-in unit. Each port can support either client or long reach (1500 to 2000 km) optics, including tunable DWDM optics. The unit also offers forward error correction (FEC) via standard GFEC or super-FEC options. Besides high port density, the EMXP IIe 240 offers power consumption of 5 W per 10G port, even when DWDM optics are used in all ports, Transmode asserts. Transmode's EMXP II/IIe family offers optical and Ethernet transmission capabilities, including MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE2.0) services, MPLS-TP, and Optical Transport Network (OTN) support. The portfolio supports 1, 10, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities for applications ranging from the customer premise to the core network. Recent software releases 1+1 and N+N Multi-Chassis LAG and Ring on LAG protection schemes.
