Our expanded MicroMux™ range empowers network operators to significantly reduce space, power and operating costs. The new MicroMux™ Nano and MicroMux™ Quattro maximize the value of existing aggregation devices both at the edge and in the core. With our unique portfolio of standards-compliant multiplexers, it’s simple and affordable to scale data center access and transport networks while meeting legacy needs.

Market challenges
• The ever-increasing demand for higher
bandwidth is driving network operators
to install high-capacity next-generation
switches, routers or optical terminals with
high-speed interfaces
• However, there is still a large demand for
lower-speed services
• Hardware aggregation devices solve this
problem, but they also increase cost, rack
space and operational complexity

A different approach
MicroMux™ is a family of plug-and-play,
small form-factor pluggable devices that
enable next-generation equipment to
support lower-speed Ethernet services on
high-speed Ethernet ports without
additional aggregation devices

Minimize cost and operational complexity
Key benefits
Save capex
✓ Save footprint by
displacing aggregation
layer equipment
✓ Enable transition to
newer platforms while
supporting legacy
interconnects
✓ Increase lifespan of
legacy equipment
Save opex
✓ Minimize points of failure
by displacing aggregation
devices and associated
interconnecting optics
✓ Minimize operational
complexity: less
equipment to manage,
fewer truck rolls, …
✓ Save power consumption
by replacing aggregation
device with pluggables
