	Overview

	Driven by the constant growth of traffic across their optical networks, service providers were the first to adopt CWDM and DWDM technology. The ability to use multiple wavelengths across the same fiber link enabled them to increase network capacity and keep pace with demand. Now with the EKINOPS 360, the next generation, optical transport platform, service providers can take the benefits of WDM one step further...
	The Ekinops 360 is a carrier class optical transport platform designed for Metro, Regional and Long haul CWDM and DWDM networks. It can aggregate or transport any ethernet, Fibre Channel, Sonnet or SDH client protocol from 100Mb to 10G.
	Product Description
	The Ekinops 360 platform is NEBS Level 3 compliant, rack-mountable and fully managed. It supports 40 DWDM channels at 10Gbs and designed to grow to 80 channels. It consists of a 6RU chassis for high density applications and a compact 2RC chassis for low density applications. It's modular and offers unmatched density with support of up to 50G in a 2 RU shelf and 190G in a 6RU shelf.

Aggregation

The Ekinops 360 includes a set of Muxponders capable of aggregating multiple inputs over one wavelength at wire speed. This includes aggregation of multiple 100Mb, GbE, Fibre Channel 1G/ 2G, OC-3/12/48 and STM-1/4/16 onto a 10G ITU-T G.709 or OC-192 line rate. Aggregation reduces the number of wavelengths in the network and lowers the overall cost of DWDM and CWDM networks by 30%-50%.

Multiple client inputs are encapsulated together with a digital wrapper, which also contains a DCC and optional Forward Error Correction (FEC). FEC is used to correct errors in long-haul transport applications.

Aggregation modules utilize pluggable SFP client interfaces allowing initial deployment with a small number of interfaces and then incrementally adding SFPs to support more customers on the same wavelength without service interruption and at a minimal added cost.

Applications

The Ekinops 360 provides a complete solution for a whole circle of optical transport applications. From metro rings and high capacity long haul DWDM networks to CWDM enterprise networks and point-to-point 10G services. It is an optimal solution for:

•	Optical transport, CWDM and DWDM networks	•	Skip regeneration points with unmatched long haul capability
•	Traffic aggregation and backhaul from DSLAMs, CMTS, FTTH nodes or SONET ADMs	•	Scalable with low upfront cost for a small number of 10G channels, allowing customers to grow to 100G channels and beyond at their own pace
•	10G and wavelengths services	•
•	Metro, regional, Long-Haul optical networks	•	SAN extension and storage services over fiber and SONET/SDH
•	Transport Gigabit Ethernet traffic over 2.5G SONT/SDH networks	•	10G LAN to WAN PHY protocol conversion
•	Extend the lives of deployed WDM systems by adding alien wavelengths

Carrier-Grade Reliability & Availabillity

The Ekinops 360 is a carrier-grade platform that offers customers maximum reliability and availability. The Chassis included redundant power supplies and fans. Each service module is hot swappable and is independent for other modules in the chassis. Service traffic is kept on the transponder and is not carried across a backplane, which eliminates any backplane speed limitations. In addition, once a system is configured it is fully operational even in the event of a management card failure.

Ekinops 360 - Service Modules
	PM 1008 • Aggregates eight GbE/GFC over 10G signal
	The PM 1008 is a 2-slot module capable of aggregating up to 8 GbE or GFC data channels onto a single 10G/OC-192/STM-64 (10G) fiber optic link. It uses SFP for the access interfaces and an XFP for the line interface. It can also be ordered with Ekinops' OTX optical interface used for distances of 40 km, 80km and up to 250km. XFPs and OTX interfaces can be gray or colored (DWDM). For distance extension beyond 80km to PM 1008 offers FEC and can be deployed in conjuction with optical amplifiers. The module is also available with a second line interface providing 1+1 protection.
	PM 1005 • Aggregates five 2GFC/1GFC over 10G signal
	Ideal for SAN extensions, the 2-slot PM 1005 aggregates up to 5 GFC or 5x2GFC (or any combination thereof) channels over a standard OC-192/STM-64 llink. By operating the link at a constant 10 Gbps, the PM 1005 eliminates the need for flow control implementation. Like the PM 1008, it has SFP access interfaces and can be ordered with either an XFP or OTX line interface. As with all PM service modules, the PM 1005 provides comprehensive control and performance monitoring through the Ekinops management interface.

It can be used with WDM SFPs on the line side to transmit over fiber or can be inserted into a Gig port of another Ekinops aggregation PM such as the PM 253 or PM 1008.
	PM MC • Any rate transponder
	The PM MC has two SFP ports and supports any media and protocol from 100Mb to 2.7Gbps including Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3/12/48, STM-1/4/16, 1/2G Fiber Channel, ESCON, FICON, and OTU-1.
	PM OA • Optical Amplifier
	The PM OA is an Eribium Doped Amplifier (EDFA) that allows optical signals to be transmitted over longer distances without the need for regenerations. It can amplify multiple wavelengths up to distances of several hundred km and is protocol and data rate independent. The PM OA amplifies optical signals in uni- or bi- directional modes and may be configured as a Booster, a Booster/Preamplifier or inline amplifier.
	PM OM • WDM Mux/Demux
	Ekinops' passive Optical Mux/Demux modules support up to 40 channels and are available in different port counts. They can be used for CWDM & DWDM applications and are designed to allow a Mux with low channel count to be upgraded in the field up to 40 channels without service interruption.
	PM OADM • Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer
	OADM modules offer Optical ADD and Drop functionality of several wavelengths while passing through all other optical signals. Specific channels can be dropped at intermediate sites along the fiber to provide connectivity to that site without the need to DMUX all the other wavelengths.
	Chassis
	The C200 is a 2RU, 19" modular chassis. It can hold 5 standard-size modules in addition to a pluggable management card. The C600 is a 6RU, 19" modular chassis that can hold 19 standard-size modules in addition to the management card. Both chassis are 600mm wide and 300mm deep and are ETSI compliant. Modules and power supplies are hot swappable. These carrier class chassis offer dual redundant and load sharing DC and AC power supplies with removable fans and dust filter. AC power option is available as a plug-in module in the C200 or externally for the C200 and C600.

Management

The Ekinops 360 can be managed through SNMP or Ekinops Manager (EEM), which includes CLI and Ekinops jave-based GUI Terminal. The management card has two Ethernet ports and one local RS232 port and is hot swappable. Managing the Ekinops 360 platform can also be done by CLI either through the local RS232 port or remotely through an SSH connection. For a complete Network Management, Ekinops offers the SNMPc application that provides a full overview of the network. Management as well as traps and alarms can also be accessed through any standard SNMP NMS.

Data Communications Channel

Ekinops aggregation modules include an embedded Data Communications Channel (DCC) for remote monitoring and management. Management information is embedded and transported within the client data eliminating the need for allocating a special wavelength as with an Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC).

OTX Optical Interface

OTX is an optical interface designed by Ekinops for extended link distances. It is mounted on the module and can not be unplugged. It has LC connector and provides the same management information as XFPs. OTX interfaces can reach up to 250km without the need for mid-span (in-line) amplification or regeneration and only with the use of booster, preamps and Raman amplifiers. OTX can be ordered with 1550nm or ITU DWDM wavelengths.
