Apollo Optical Networking – Delivers reconfigurable and programmable low-latency optical transport that simultaneously speeds up provisioning of new services while maximizing traffic throughput at the lowest cost per bit.
Muse Lifecycle Automation – Delivers complete lifecycle management and domain orchestration for underlying Neptune and Apollo networks, to speed up time to revenues, reduce TCO, and integrate into wider ecosystems.
Apollo - Optical Transport with Packet Services
The Apollo product line provides state-of-the-art transparent and flexible DWDM and OTN transport with integrated packet switching capabilities. A modular architecture allows optimized solutions across access, metro, regional, and long-haul networks. Apollo combines high performance, low-latency OTN transport, and OTN switching with software configurable optical routing for maximum efficiency. Apollo is self-aware with intelligent reporting for efficient and SDN-ready operations. Apollo also provides deployment choice, whether as an integrated solution or as standalone subsystems for disaggregated multivendor solutions.
Neptune - Packet Aggregation with Integrated Optics
The Neptune product line streamlines end-to-end service delivery by combining carrier grade service assurance, visibility, and control with efficient multiservice packet transport. Neptune offers converged support for Ethernet, MPLS, Segment Routing, FlexE, TDM, OTN, and WDM to provide a powerful, flexible solution for high-performance services. This is a perfect fit for operators looking for a multiservice aggregation platform. With TDM support, legacy services are easily migrated onto this platform and Elastic MPLS, SDN, NFV, and enhanced 8273.2 Class D timing capabilities make the Neptune platform ideal for 5G transport in a converged metro-transport environment.
