BTI Systems enhances packet optical service delivery with portfolio additions
FEBRUARY 2, 2010 -- BTI Systems has introduced three new tools designed to expand fiber capacity, reduce the complexity of optical engineering, and allow enterprises and service providers to more quickly deliver multi-service optical and packet network services. As a response to the ever-growing demand for bandwidth, the enhancements to BTI’s 7000 Series and proNX management suite are designed to help network administrators take a low-risk path to quickly and efficiently add capacity and new services.
The addition of eight channels to BTI Systems ITU-based Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wavelength plan enables customers to expand fiber capacity seamlessly up to 400Gbps per fiber pair with the availability of a 40-channel Mux-Demux in a compact, 2RU form factor.
Tunable optics are provisioned in client service modules that afford them the ability to simplify planning, ordering, deployment and sparing to tune to any of the 40 DWDM wavelengths supported by the BTI 7000 Series. This flexibility in wavelength planning significantly eases inventory, delivery times and enables rapid service activation.
The proNX 9010 simplifies and automates network planning and optical link validation to configure, monitor and operate networks and their underlying equipment and facilities. Ideal to manage regional and multi-ring network environments, the proNX 9010 provides a multi-layer view of the network, from fiber to service connectivity, and offers evaluation of designs plus loss planning to take the guesswork out of optical network engineering.
