Sterlite Tech To Create Optical Transport Controller For Voyager And Cassini Platforms In Collaboration With The Telecom Infra Project
Once developed, the solution will manage and control TIP members' Voyager
and Cassini platforms, bringing operating flexibility and reduced costs for
operators
Sterlite Tech (BSE: 532374) (NSE:
STRTECH), a global data network solutions company, today announced a
collaboration with the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) to enhance data networks of
the future. The collaboration will see the creation of an optical transport
controller to manage and control Voyager and Cassini platforms developed by TIP
members.
TIP is a
collaborative telecom community launched in February 2016 to accelerate the
pace of innovation in the telecom industry. The Open Optical and Packet
Transport (OOPT) project group is creating open DWDM solutions, models and
APIs, covering transponders, open line systems, and routers. This will help
accelerate industry standardisation of packet optical interfaces, and drive
adoption of disaggregated transport platforms.
Sterlite Tech,
which is developing Programmable Open Disaggregated Solution
(PODS), in association with the open community, will collaborate with TIP to
create an optical transport controller. This will manage and control the
disaggregated optical solutions promoted by TIP, bringing more operating
flexibility to network operators and helping them keep costs low. In addition,
Sterlite Tech will build a virtualised application on the controller which will
be used to manage the data plane on these platforms. The controller will be
open and will be contributed to the TIP community to drive more use cases and
bring TIP's work and optical transport networks together.
PODS leverages open
technology to enable programmability at the hardware and software level of
radio access networks. Combination of this with TIP's platforms will make the
DWDM architecture more affordable, improve customer experience and create
excellence in technology.
