PM5422 META 20G
PMC-Sierra has announced the PM5422 META 20G device, enabling Carrier Ethernet Switch and Router (CESR) equipment to connect to emerging Metro Optical Transport Networks (ITU-T G.709 OTN).
The META 20G enables a converged OTN infrastructure across IP and optical equipment, with unified end-to-end network management.
The device integrates Carrier Ethernet mapping and framing of 10GE LAN and WAN, and OTN mapping of IP-services such as Storage Area Networks (SAN) and video protocols, while maintaining support for deployed technologies such as Packet over SONET/SDH (POS).
META 20G's concurrent framing and mapping of Carrier Ethernet, OTN and SONET/SDH reduces line-card variants and simplifies carrier supply chain operations.
Its flexible system-side interfaces allow for integration onto new and existing line cards with direct connect to network processors and packet processing engines.
META 20G offers a range of capabilities, including: support of optical modules: independent, rate-agile SERDES for direct-connect to 10G SFP+ and XFP modules for dense multi-port configurations; Any-Service over OTN: support for 10G LAN, WAN, SAN, video and POS; carrier grade 10GE capabilities: integrated timing over packet (IEEE 1588 and SynchE) and Ethernet link OAM required in latency-sensitive applications such as mobile backhaul.
The PM5422 META 20G devices are available in 27 x 27mm 672 ball FCBGA packages.
