Packet Optical Networking Platforms: Sizing Up the Approaches

As the packet optical networking platform concept has emerged, two dominant camps have advocated specific ways they think these devices should be built. Not surprisingly, router vendors (Cisco and Juniper) favor an approach that integrates optical transponders and OTN switching to a core router, while optical-centric vendors (Fujitsu and Cyan Optics) favor a 'packet integration approach' that adds OTN and packet switching to the optical network platform.

In this interactive webinar, you'll get to hear about the approaches, the trends and how carriers are deploying these devices to bridge the TDM to IP world. Presentations will be followed by an open roundtable discussion.  Register Today for part one of this webinar series.
