Multitechnology support with the 1850 tss-100

The 1850 TSS-100 is a multiservice transport platform that supports any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet. Its unique, technology- independent universal matrix switches packets or circuits in their native for- mat and transports them as they are, optimizing overall network efficiency and applicability. This capability al- lows operators to address transitioning from TDM/circuit-based transport to packet transport with the fexible provisioning of carrier Ethernet/trans- port, SONET, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and optical transport networks (OTNs).

The 1850 TSS-100 supports current and future traffic requirements by eliminating the scalability issues encountered by traditional multiser- vice provisioning platform (MSPP)/ multiservice transport platform (MSTP) solutions. The 1850 TSS-100 is the ideal building block for evolving trans- port networks, allowing operators to fexibly split increasing traffic demands among any combination of carrier transport technologies. See Figure 1.
