JUNE 9, 2008 -- TPACK has announced the availability of the SMARTPACK TPOX3203 20-Gbit/sec Packet Optical Engine. Part of the recently announced SMARTPACK P-OTN family, the TPOX3203 is designed to provide a highly integrated device for Carrier Ethernet over OTN.

JUNE 9, 2008 -- TPACK (search for TPACK) has announced the availability of the SMARTPACK TPOX3203 20-Gbit/sec Packet Optical Engine. Part of the recently announced SMARTPACK P-OTN family, the TPOX3203 is designed to provide a highly integrated device for Carrier Ethernet over OTN. Thus, the TPOX3203 can provide cost, power, and board space savings for telecom equipment manufacturers, according to the company.

Designed specifically for packet-optical transport network (P-OTN) applications, the TPOX3203 integrates connection-oriented Ethernet (PBB-TE, T-MPLS, and PWE3/VPLS) switching and traffic management with a 10-Gbit/sec OTU-2 OTN packet mapper in a single device. The deivce also supports standard Ethernet and VLAN switching including Q-in-Q.

The IC scales to 40-Gbit/sec packet switching and 2X OTU-2 interfaces to support P-OTN packet add/drop multiplexing in ROADM networks. Based on an Altera Stratix III FPGA, the device is also fully customizable and quickly adapted to meet new standards and other requirements, TPACK adds.
