The 1850 TSS-100 is a multiservice
transport platform that supports
any mix of traffic, from all-circuit
to all-packet. Its unique, technology-
independent universal matrix switches
packets or circuits in their native for-
mat and transports them as they are,
optimizing overall network efficiency
and applicability. This capability al-
lows operators to address transitioning
from TDM/circuit-based transport
to packet transport with the flexible
provisioning of carrier Ethernet/trans-
port, SONET, wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) and optical
transport networks (OTNs). The 1850 TSS-100 supports current
and future traffic requirements by
eliminating the scalability issues
encountered by traditional multiser-
vice provisioning platform (MSPP)/
multiservice transport platform (MSTP)
solutions. The 1850 TSS-100 is the
ideal building block for evolving trans-
port networks, allowing operators to
flexibly split increasing traffic demands
among any combination of carrier
transport technologies. See Figure 1.
