The Series 7000 OCS combines high optical performance and matrix size with carrier-class embedded control interfaces that enable seamless integration with any software-defined network (SDN) controller. This combination uniquely enables users to virtualize fiber layer connectivity, transforming what previously required manual switching of fibers to a dynamic, remote, and automated provisioning of the physical network layer.
