The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP offers ROADM capability that allows zero to 40 channels of pass-
through or add/drop, A-Z wavelength provisioning, and full real-time power monitoring of each
individual wavelength. Keeping traffic purely in the optical domain as much as possible has the
added advantage of "future-proofing" a transport network. Pure optical transmission is inherently
more tolerant to bit-rate variations where moves to higher rates and new protocols may still be
required in the future, and hence more robust because photonic processing is intrinsically
insensitive to protocol changes, unlike typical electrical processing elements.
Product Specifications
With its multiservice capability, innovative optical technology, automatic optical power
management, and MSPP-like ease of use, the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP transforms how DWDM
networks are built and managed. Combining multiple services and intelligent DWDM, the Cisco
ONS 15454 MSTP significantly reduces both capital expenditures and operational expenses for
today’s metro and regional networks.
