TPACK's New Standard ICs Support Next-Generation Optical Transport Networks

TPACK, an industry leading provider of cutting-edge silicon ICs that provide core data transport and switching functions to leading telecom and networking equipment suppliers, today announced the TPOC244 and TPOC314 standard products as two new members of the P-OCKET family of OTN Mappers.

"Products like TPACK's TPOC244/314 are essential building blocks for large ODU Cross Connects which are now emerging as a key platform type for next generation Optical Transport Networks", says Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst, Infonetics Research.

The TPOC244/314 are the first standard IC products specifically made for large Terabit per second OTN Cross Connect systems with connectivity for hundreds of ODU0 of ODUflex channels as required by carriers such as Verizon and Deutche Telekom. By the use of the TPOC244/314 Telecom Equipment Vendors can reduce time to market for introduction of OTN Cross Connect line cards. Both TPOC244 and TPOC314 support 40 Gigabit per second of bandwidth as well as a built-in generic Segmentation-And-Reassembly (SAR) function.
