Telmar 1680 OGX
Optical Gateway Cross-Connect
The 1680 OGX Optical Gateway Cross-Connect
addresses the needs of a variety of market segments.
The 1680 OGX, originally
engineered and
manufactured by
Alcatel, was acquired
by Telmar Network
Technology in 2005.
Telmar’s 1680 OGX Optical Gateway
Cross-Connect provides the features and
functionality required by today’s network
operators to meet the demands of the
modern network. This high-density,
broadband optical cross-connect offers high
speeds, increased capacity and maximum
flexibility in a single, reliable platform.
By effectively grooming and filling optical
signals, the 1680 OGX reduces the number
of required network elements and lowers
overall transport costs while ensuring
network growth can meet current and future
capacity demands by offering in-service
scalability from 256 to 4,096 STS-1 equivalents.
Depending on customer requirements, the
versatile 1680 OGX addresses the needs of
a number of different market segments.
Network service providers with an installed
base of traditional BB-DCS can easily
increase the capacity of their broadband
infrastructure while improving their density
and drastically reducing overall footprint.
Network service providers who are looking
to reduce their operational costs can
consolidate the functionality of colocated
equipment (ADM, DS-X, traditional BB-DCS)
with a single, high-density, scalable broadband optical cross-connect designed to
provide a clear migration path to advanced
broadband data service delivery.
In addition, the 1680 OGX allows service
providers to combine the protection of
SONET with the efficiency of an optical
cross-connect in a single system.
Telmar’s 1680 OGX Optical Gateway
Cross-Connect enable carriers and service
providers to meet the demands of today’s
bandwidth revolution on land, under sea
and around the globe.
