Optical Transport
From the Customer Premises to the Metro/Regional Optical Core
New business models are emerging as WDM transport
enables economical support for bursty, interactive, content-based
services, including Gigabit Ethernet Transport; Video Distribution, including
Video on Demand (VoD); Storage Area Networks (SAN),
and Edge Aggregation.
As a result, the metro network is becoming much more
responsive, combining multi-service flexibility, low cost, and bandwidth
scalability
smarter, cheaper, and faster to deliver competitive advantage.
Zhone Technologies' GigaMux
CWDM/DWDM optical transport solutions enable the responsive network today, with
over 3000 nodes deployed by leading service providers around the globe.

Gigabit-Ethernet (Gig-E)
GigaMux leads the market with cost-effective Gig-E solutions,
featuring 4x 1 Gig-E and 10x 1 Gig-E modules that support flexible bandwidth
allocation with full QoS and optical protection. WDM
allows Gigabit Ethernet to be combined with other high-revenue services without
requiring separate transport networks, such as traditional voice and private
line, wholesale OC-3/12/48/192 (STM-1/4/16/64), and wavelength services.
Edge Aggregation
GigaMux delivers the scalability and range of interfaces
required for cost-effective aggregation. Featuring a broad array of integrated
edge-multiplexing modules, GigaMux provides both time
and wavelength-division multiplexing to deliver unprecedented service densities
for both TDM and packet services.
Video Distribution / Video on Demand (VOD)
Zhone leverages the latest optical WDM technologies to
deliver the industry's most compelling video distribution portfolio. The
ultra-scalable GigaMux offers cost-efficiency and
full services support across all protocols. Overall, Zhone
provides service providers with a genuine "service-agnostic" video
transport layerâone that fully supports converged Ethernet architectures and enables operators to profitably deliver the quality
and variety of end-user services that the market demands.
Storage Area Networking
Zhone's GigaMux provides the ideal
solution for the requirements of SAN, supporting fast data transfer at native
speed over the most widely used SAN protocols (Fibre Channel,
ESCON, FICON, Gigabit-Ethernet and others). Zhone's
SAN solutions are deployed by leading financial institutions worldwide.
