FLASHWAVE 9500
Packet Optical Networking Platform
The communications world is changing, led into new territory by accelerating demand for high-bandwidth, high-quality multimedia
packet based services and continued growth in every communications market.
Pressure is building behind the pace of change: pressure to deliver high quality of service, to respond to unpredictable demand,
and to minimize costs and provisioning time. Your network must be ready to meet the oncoming wave, and remain responsive to
the unknown directions around the next corner.
Now a lasting technology foundation is available. The Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet Optical Networking Platform (Packet ONP)
is a whole new class of optical networking system that meets the high expectations of the new, media-rich network world.
The FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet ONP provides the modular, chassis-level fusion of Connection-oriented Ethernet, ROADM and SONET/SDH
transport technologies built on a single addressable optical network class element. It fulfils network aggregation and transport
infrastructure needs, delivering high bandwidth, high quality packet-based services in today's multi-protocol packet environment.
The Packet ONP is the first type of network element that delivers both:
- Packet aggregation agility, traditionally found only in more costly, feature-rich service elements
- Bulk transport scalability combined with the operational stability that has defined optical networking
Manageable Scalability for the Connected Experience
The FLASHWAVE 9500 is the definitive Packet ONP. Its unique hardware and software architecture integrates Ethernet, ROADM
and SONET/SDH technology in a single shelf that drives cost out of today's metro network. As high-bandwidth, high-quality
multimedia packet-centric services dominate, service providers can deploy the FLASHWAVE 9500 platform to enjoy the cost and
manageability that optical networking has always provided.
The FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet ONP solution family is designed to consist of common interface cards and system software across
a variety of configurations, traffic capacity ranges, and entry prices allowing service providers to cost-optimize their network.
