P-Series (POS traffic)

As transport networks continue to break speed barriers and convergence of traffic migrates from circuit to packet, network operators face new challenges in monitoring the services being provided. While Packet Over SONET/SDH enables operators and users to more flexibly and efficiently utilize network bandwidth by converging services, each service needs to be measured independently relative to the expectations of the customer. OptiCop Converger and its Hybrid Inspection Technology (HIT) provide a means to leverage existing investments in test and monitoring tools.

The P-Series OptiCop Converger systems can be configured to meet the most demanding applications, with the ability to monitor SONET/SDH POS circuits ranging from OC-3/STM-1 through OC-192/STM-64. With up to 24 network/tool interfaces, the P-Series OptiCop Converger can monitor multiple circuits in either half or full duplex scenarios and will operate in conjunction with Automatic Protection Switching, ensuring monitoring applications always have the access they need.
