Transparent PDH over Packet Transceivers
T1/E1

Ciena’s Transparent PDH over Packet Transceivers enable cost-effective transport of T1/E1 streams over packet. With many network operators transforming their networks to all-packet transport, TDM over packet emerges as a key enabler to efficiently migrate legacy services to the new packet-based infrastructure. Using a single unified network for both data and TDM transport can streamline operations and reduce capital and operational expenditures.

Features and benefits

  1. Provides an efficient method to transport PDH over packet in a transparent payload using either MEF8 or MPLS frame header formats

  2. Integrates Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP RFC 4553) technology into a costeffective module, reducing system and network complexity while offering lower carbon footprint to yield significant CAPEX and OPEX savings

  3. Operates at industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°)

  4. Eliminates TDM leased-line costs

  5. Delivers plug-and-play operation while interoperating with other SAToP equipment, including SFPs in Ciena’s Pluggable Transceiver Family
