Packet Optical Network Platform

Fujitsu’s new-generation Packet Optical Network Platform, FLASHWAVE® 9500 delivers high-bandwidth packet-based services for today’s multi-protocol packet environment.

FLASHWAVE 9500 sets the standard for Packet ONP, helping operators to manage operational and financial challenges with a future-proofed, consolidated and low operational cost network infrastructure.

Key technical advantages:

• Purpose-built modular design, with Fujitsu patent-pending universal TDM/Packet fabric.
• Connection-Oriented Ethernet transport technology delivers private-line quality Ethernet aggregation and connectivity services.
• ROADM-on-a-card technology to deliver bulk bandwidth economically and with operational stability.
• Next Generation TDM technology to support the full range of network services while retaining operational continuity with existing networks.
• High density multi-service, multi-rate TDM interfaces.
• 40Gb/s-ready ROADM in one-quarter of a shelf.
• 480Gb/s TDM or packet bandwidth in only one-third of a rack.

The operational benefits of Fujitsu's leading edge design approach are extensive, incorporating:

• Reduces equipment space by a factor of ten through a modular, chassis-level fusion of connection-oriented Ethernet, ROADM-on-a-card, and TDM (SDH).
• It is the first type of network element to combine both agile packet aggregation – traditionally found only in more costly, feature-rich service elements – and robust bulk transport scalability.
• Delivers private-line equivalent QoS for Native Ethernet.
• Operational stability that has defined Fujitsu's market-leading optical networking.
• FLASHWAVE 9500's innovative switch fabric allows both SDH and packet-based traffic to be switched and managed in its native format, without any of the penalties of circuit emulation technology.
• Build highly scaleable, future-proofed networks to support both SDH and Ethernet in native mode, using the FLASHWAVE 9500 platform to enable on demand transition to Ethernet services.
