OTN switching provides a network transformation by increasing fiber capacity by 10x, virtualizing network capacity, and requiring up to 2x fewer devices and 50% less power per port without compromising features. The DIGI-G4 chip enables 400G OTN switching by reusing deployed DIGI-120G code and providing the industry's first 400G OTN single-chip processor and sub-wavelength OTN encryption.

1. OTN SWITCHING
A NETWORK TRANSFORMATION REVEALED
Influx of IP video & data
center/cloud traffic
is stressing metro
networks and driving
the need for 100G
Increases fiber capacity by 10X
Virtualizes network capacity
Up to 2X fewer devices
50% less power per port
No feature compromises
One SDK for muxponding
and switching
40%+ more bandwidth efficient
Makes 100G economical
Designing 400G P-OTP line cards
with DIGI-G4 instead of FPGAs takes:
