It enables delivers “beyond 100G” OTN transport support for cloud‑scale 100G+ packet-optical, OTN switching, DWDM, and data center interconnect optical networking applications.

    Judge’s comment: “This product will enable the next generation of 100G, 400G and up to 1.2T OTN and Ethernet networks. Looks like the first to have this capability so far.”
