The N x 10G Transponder solution provides a complete solution for up to N lanes of multiple client data transport to a SDH/SONET/Ethernet WIS or OTN network. Each lane is individually, dynamically re-configurable through a software API. On the client side, the transponder connects directly to a XFP or SFP+ or XAUI interface. The client signal is transcoded and mapped depending on the desired application.

Existing 10G transponder/mapper solutions offer 1 to 4 lanes per chip. Our FPGA solution can offer much higher lane (port) density per chip, typically 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 32, 40 or higher (depending on FPGAs). As a result of higher port density, better power efficiency and cost effectiveness can be obtained.

The following shows the supported configuration of any individual lane of transponder can be configured for different applications:

• Lane Type 1 : CBR10G/SONET/SDH -> BMP/AMP/GMP -> OTU2
  
• Lane Type 2a : 10GE -> PMA/PCS-R -> OTU2e
  
• Lane Type 2b : 10GE -> XAUI -> XGXS -> PCS-R -> OTU2e
  
• Lane Type 3 : 10GE -> PMA /PCS-R -> Ethernet Mac -> GFP-F -> OTU2
  
• Lane Type 4 : FC1200 -> PMA/PCS-R -> TTT -> GFP-F -> OTU2e
  
• Lane Type 5 : 10GE -> PMA/PCS-R -> WIS/STM-64c/OC-192c
  
• Lane Type 6 : Customer specific mapping
