Our FSP 3000 M-Flex800™ is single-slot card that offers a universal host for ZR and ZR+ optics and addresses many of the shortfalls of IP-over-DWDM (IPoWDM) solutions. Ideal for high-capacity transport across edge, metro and core networks, it streamlines demarcation and aggregation. Combined with the use of a wide range of ZR optics, this enables a flexible, cost-efficient way to develop compact and low-power transport solutions from the edge to the core with separated IP and optical layers.

Traditional DWDM or IPoDWDM? No silver bullet?
What if there was a way to take advantage of both ZR/ZR+ coherent optics and
a cost-efficient demarcation and muxponding solution?

• Pluggable optics in switches/routers minimize cost,
power and space consumption
• DWDM speeds depend on router capabilities
• No IP/optical demarcation
• No client service multiplexing
• More DWDM equipment (higher cost, power and
space consumption)
• Routers and DWDM upgrades are decoupled
• IP/optical demarcation
• Multi-rate, multi-protocol client service multiplexing
