PacketLight Networks has launched the PL-2000M Muxponder/Transponder, aimed at high-capacity, high-security optical transport in data centre interconnect (DCI), enterprise and campus network applications.
PacketLight Networks has added Layer 1 optical encryption capabilities to its PL-2000AD Optical Transport Network (OTN) platform in order to protect data in transit at the physical layer.
The PL-2000AD is a fully integrated, compact 1U multiprotocol, multi-rate platform that now equips enterprises and carriers with extended point-to-point Layer-1 encryption capabilities across their metro and long-haul routes.
