Copenhagen, Denmark - May 26, 2009 – TPACK (www.TPACK.com) today introduced the P-OCKET family of OTN mappers targeting Optical Transport applications (e.g. MSPPs, MetroWDM, P-OTN and Carrier Ethernet Transport). P-OCKET is a complete family of OTN devices that enables the lowest possible software development costs for TPACK’s customers by re-using software across the complete range of bandwidths.
“TPACK’s FPGA-based approach allows it to address the changing standards and evolving customer requirements surrounding OTN internetworking equipment. Their intention to provide a total solution by addressing muxponder, framer, and cross connect with the same family should be viewed favorably by vendors seeking to minimize R&D investments,” said Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst, Optical, Infonetics.
The P-OCKET devices are suited for both new OTN cross connect systems as well as traditional Muxponder-based systems, and will support line rates from 2.5G (OTU1) to 100G (OTU4). P-OCKET supports efficient and transparent mapping of any client (packet or TDM) into OTN including GE into ODU0 and STM-1/4, OC-3/12 into subrate ODU1 containers.
All P-OCKET devices are based on TPACK’s SOFTSILICON concept offering both fast time to market, flexibility in design options, and commitment for supply. P-OCKET includes the only standard product for OTU1 on the market, and is likewise the first products on the market to support GE and sub 2.5G client mapping into OTN as well as OTN cross connect architectures at all line rates. Additionally, TPACK is the only vendor to offer a complete set of OTN products that covers all line and client rates.
“I am especially excited by our new P-OCKET family of OTN devices because carrier feedback points to a strong need for a new type of OTN based cross connect equipment that requires the functionality P-OCKET provides”, said Lars Pedersen, CTO TPACK.
