  • Apollo 9400 Series

    Apollo 9400 Series

    High Density Low Power Consumption Optical Networking

    The Apollo 9400 Series constitutes an advanced portfolio of optical networking platforms specifically developed for major communication service providers and webscale operators. These systems are defined by their combination of ultra-high density and minimal power consumption, establishing a superior benchmark for large scale network deployment. The Apollo 9400 Series architecture is engineered to maximise spectral efficiency across core transport and aggregation layers.

    The initial unit, the 2RU Apollo 9408 transport platform, exemplifies this performance standard, providing up to 9.6 Terabits (T) of immediate density, with a system architecture capable of scaling to 19.2T. Crucially, the Apollo 9400 Series achieves exceptional power efficiency, operating at less than 0.12 Watts per Gigabit (W/G), which substantially optimises ongoing infrastructure expenditure. Furthermore, the Apollo 9400 Series natively integrates vital security and capacity functions, including Layer 1 optical encryption, C+L band expansion for increased fibre utility, and full compatibility with open optical line systems, ensuring secure and durable network longevity. Specifying the Apollo 9400 Series delivers the necessary operational foundation for high-performance, next generation networks.

  • NPT 2714

    High Capacity, High Availability Aggregation

    The NPT-2714 is a high capacity, fully redundant aggregation router engineered specifically for service provider networks demanding exceptional performance. The NPT-2714 incorporates an innovative orthogonal architecture, successfully merging the advanced resilience and input/output diversity of modular systems with the simplified operational efficiency characteristic of fixed platforms. This design delivers comprehensive hardware redundancy at an optimized cost.

    A primary functional advantage of the NPT-2714 is its capacity for true “Pay As You Grow” scaling. It supports an upgrade pathway from 7.2 Tbps up to 14.4 Tbps non blocking switching capacity, which can be executed entirely in service. This capability ensures significant investment protection, permitting carriers to cost effectively incorporate evolving network technologies. The NPT-2714 features a compact 6RU form factor, accommodating nine I/O card slots to provide extensive interface flexibility, supporting port speeds from 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 400 Gigabit Ethernet.

    The NPT-2714 is expertly suited for high availability multiservice scenarios, including 5G aggregation, large scale broadband backhaul, and critical infrastructure deployment. It supports Coherent Routing (IPoDWDM), facilitating extended reach using 400G ZR+ coherent pluggable optics. Furthermore, the NPT-2714 integrates software driven Media Access Control Security (MACsec) across all network interfaces, thereby guaranteeing robust protection and data integrity.
