Cisco ONS 15454 SONET/SDH Multiservice
Transport Platform (MSTP)
The Cisco® ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform sets
the industry benchmark for metropolitan and regional dense
wavelength-division multiplexing solutions by using proven
Cisco Multiservice Provisioning Platform networking
technologies to deliver simple, fast, and intelligent DWDM
capabilities and lower capital and operating expenditures
A metropolitan network, being close to or on a customer’s
premises-unlike its long-haul counterpart-requires support for a great diversity of service
interfaces. The service interfaces allow network providers to offer new tariffs and enable
enterprise customers to natively transport a wide variety of services over a common transport
network without unnecessary conversion stages and equipment. Additionally, a wide service
mix simplifies the planning for services. The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP, with its MSPP
capabilities, supports a broad range of standards-based services in a single platform
Critical to offering a wide service mix is a DWDM system’s ability to offer the level of
transparency required by the service. The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP solution offers the choice
of multiservice aggregation, wavelength aggregation, and wavelength transport, combined
with integrated, intelligent DWDM transmission, in a single platform to optimize network
costs for any mix of service types. Using digital-wrapper technology (defined in ITU-T G.709)
enables transparency while still allowing enhanced wavelength management and providing
extended optical reach with integrated Forward Error Correction (FEC).
