1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS)

Scalable optimized end-to-end optical transport solutions for DCI, metro, regional and long-haul networks

Overview

The 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) is a family of DWDM multiservice, multilayer P-OTN transport platforms that provide efficient transport at any scale, from compact access to the converged Optical Transport Network (OTN)/DWDM core.

With 1830 PSS you can continuously scale your optical networks to meet unpredictable traffic demands. The platforms leverage advanced coherent transport delivered by Nokia Photonic Service Engine (PSE), agile line systems, and ultra-scalable P-OTN switching.

The 1830 PSS family supports a wide range of applications and services, including:

Metro and long-haul transport
Broadband backhaul
Data center interconnect
Carrier Ethernet
Wavelength services

The 1830 PSS-8 and 1830 PSS-16 are optimized for multiservice metro and regional transport network applications.

The 1830 PSS-32 supports maximum scale for regional to long-haul, multilayer packet optical transport.
