OptiPacket® is a member of MRV’s comprehensive packet transport portfolio. Metro networks continue to expand and require more intelligent high-density and capacity aggregation with focus on 10G and 100G packet switched services. This unique proposition opens new market segments in the Metro Service Edge that enables a broader solution to our customers' needs while providing more strategic value with end-to-end solutions for smaller service providers and carriers. OptiPacket upgrades our solution from the metro access market to the metro service edge market. Our strategy is to combine a broader metro solution that extends from OptiSwitch in the access domain to OptiPacket in the metro service aggregation domain to OptiDriver in the optical transport domain, all provisioned and manageable with our Pro-Vision® service orchestration and management software. The OptiPacket series is a carrier-class, high capacity provider edge aggregator positioned for high capacity aggregation needed for next-gen Metro networks. The new OptiPacket® (OP-X models) combines the field-proven technology and expertise of MRV’s optical and packet product families into an all-in-one, highly flexible, intelligent architecture. Our vision is to help service providers to simplify and converge their networks, by optimizing the platform for new dynamic services and integration with our optical products. MRV is enabling service providers to seamlessly deliver multi-layer services over the same metro service edge. This, along with the solution’s industry-leading bandwidth capacity, port density, and power efficiency makes it easier for service providers to manage unpredictable bandwidth demand and create a strong foundation for Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and consequently enable highly beneficial metro network transformation.

Capitalizing on the latest innovations in packet and virtualized technologies, OptiPacket® platform offers outstanding efficiency and intelligence to support ultra-high-density 10Gbps and 100 Gbps services. Service providers are able to deploy the OptiPacket® platform as a packet-optimized solution in high-capacity mega POPs for metro aggregation applications, or utilize it as an access platform for SLA-based 100G Carrier Ethernet demarcation services. The flexibility of the OptiPacket® platform is fully maximized when used as a converged packet-optical solution with MRV's OptiDriver® optical transport products and combined under the same orchestration and management software, Pro-Vision®, according to a service provider’s network demands.

OptiPacket® (OP-X) Family Datasheet

OptiDriver™ is the most recent addition to MRV’s comprehensive family of advanced optical transport network elements. Designed to offer the industry’s highest density 10Gbps transport, with more than 80 wavelengths in only 10RU, OptiDriver is engineered to support the latest advances in optical technologies, including intelligent ROADM networks and 100Gbps transport.

OptiDriver is designed from the ground up to reduce capital and operational expenses. A flexible shelf and component architecture dramatically lowers initial and ongoing hardware costs, simplifies operations, and minimizes power and space requirements. Multifunction hardware allows a minimum number of components to serve the maximum variety of applications, including Ethernet, OTN, TDM, Fibre Channel, ESCON/FICON, Infiniband, and others. Built-in testing and rapid turn up features lower the operational cost of installation and significantly decrease time to revenue.

OptiDriver is fully integrated into MRV’s advanced Pro-Vision® service provisioning and management platform, which operates seamlessly in a mixed network of MRV’s Optical and Carrier Ethernet systems. Built-in processing support for current and emerging intelligent control plane technologies like GMPLS and Software Defined Networking allows OptiDriver to quickly integrate into new and existing networks.

Optical Transport Solutions Brochure

MRV's physical layer switches are scalable, OSI layer 1 switches that allows users to connect any port to any other port within the system using a non-blocking matrix. The Media Cross Connect is an optical/electrical/optical (OEO) switch used for data rates and media up to 10Gbps. The Optical Cross Connect is an all optical (OOO) switch for single mode fiber rates up to 100Gbps. Deploying these switches in a lab environment allows test commitments to be met without compromising quality or responsiveness, or increasing capital or operational expenses.

• Logical Cable Management — Using software commands allows non-blocking, any port to any other port, bidirectional or unidirectional mappings. The MCC allows one to any multi-point broadcast mapping.
• Increased Lab Efficiency and Productivity — Topologies can be changed and stored using a web-based GUI, or by using a industry-standard interface, tests and topologies can be scripted and executed 24/7. Inventory management/tracking is simplified as equipment is not physically moved to perform tests.
• Decrease Capital Expenditures — By sharing expensive test equipment and fixed test beds, capital equipment costs can be minimized without compromising capabilities.
• Modular Architecture — The MCC is available in 72, 144 and 288 port configurations that support any protocol or media within a single chassis. All service blades are interchangeable and hot swappable between the chassis types.
• Wire-Once Technology — Once the lab network and equipment is connected to the MCC or OCC, all connections and configurations are done using software commands. Changing a test topology is accomplished by a simple mouse click.
• Wide Range of Data Rates and Media Types — The MCC supports protocols from T3/E3 to Fibre Channel to 10 Gig Ethernet. Different media types, including copper cable and pluggable transceivers via SFPs are supported in the same chassis. The OCC96 supports single mode fiber data rates to up to 100Gbps.
• Media Conversion — With the MCC, mapping a copper input to a fiber output eliminates the need for standalone converters and maximizes the use of test equipment equipped with one type of connection.

The LX Series Console Servers support 4, 8, 16, 32 or 48 RS232 serial ports with an optional v.92 modem, dual Ethernet, and multiple AC/DC power options. Rich security and management features are supported, in addition to distributed clustering, sophisticated automation capabilities, very strong encryption, and U.S. government FIPS 140-2 security certification.
