FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet ONP

Built for the Multiprotocol Environment
The Fujitsu FLASHWAVE® 9500 Packet Optical Networking Platform (Packet ONP) is a lasting technology foundation for the evolving packet- centric network. This platform integrates Connection-Oriented Ethernet (COE) and Layer 1 transport technologies. It delivers high-bandwidth, high-quality packet, TDM, and WDM services on an open platform built for today’s multiprotocol environment. The FLASHWAVE 9500 platform reduces the complexity, and ultimately the cost, of the metro/regional transport network.

Packet ONP Integration and Innovation
The integration of packet and transport technologies is a natural evolution of the metro and regional network as it changes to provide cost-efficient solutions for increasingly bandwidth-intensive applications. Specific technologies have been incorporated into the FLASHWAVE 9500 system to support this evolution, including:

COE – Layer 2 capabilities with Layer 1 reliability
Centralized SONET/SDH and packet/OTN switch fabric
Ethernet over TDM/SONET to native Ethernet interworking
ROADM-on-a-card

Innovative Features of Software Release 4.1 FLASHWAVE 9500 Network Element Software Release 4.1 enhances packet optical network integration by enabling service providers to:

Add profitable COE services with the lowest delay, delay variation and packet loss
Reduce the cost of Ethernet service delivery over diverse access networks with the EoX Gateway
Increase ROADM channel count from 44 to 88 wavelengths, and wavelength bandwidth capacity from 10 to 40 Gbps without adding equipment
Reduce operational cost and complexity with the NETSMART® 1500 Management System

Industry Recognition

The FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet ONP has received several recent awards by leading industry publications and analyst firms for revolutionizing metro networking.
