Applications

Certain services, such as data transport for financial services companies can have extremely stringent Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements, particularly for packet latency and other packet service attributes. Cyan's Z-Series platforms implement the latest packet processing components in conjunction with connection-oriented Ethernet technologies such as 802.1Qay, which provides SONET-like predictability and performance, with the packet aggregation and transport efficiencies of Ethernet.

Applications - Carrier Grade Ethernet Services and Transport

Cyan's Z-Series multi-layer transport platforms support a full spectrum of applications and services.

Rapidly scaling broadband usage and increasingly video intensive applications are driving substantial increases in traffic per subscriber for both telecom and MSOs. While increased broadband utilization is great for end users, the increase in traffic without an increase in incremental revenue puts real economic pressure on operators to find new ways to dramatically scale capacity with fundamentally lower costs.

IP Video, both VOD and IPTV, is one of the most bandwidth intensive applications with significant Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements. Cyan's Z-Series multi-layer transport platforms are up to the task with industry leading IP video services capacity and performance.

Cyan's Z-Series multi-layer transport systems and Cy360 software systems provide the industry's first TowerAware^SM wireless backhaul solutions. TowerAware represents an application specific use-case of Cyan's broader Service Level Aware Network^SM solution capability, with temperature hardened outside plant (OSP) chassis' and service modules which provide the ultimate in wireless backhaul service performance and scalability!

Applications - Wavelength Services

Cyan's Z-Series supports flexible wave division multiplexing (DWDM and CWDM) transport with OEO or full OOO wavelength grooming using colorless, non-directional optics in combination with wavelength selectable switching (WSS) based ROADMs to optimize capital and operational efficiency.

Applications - SONET/SDH MSPP Transport

Cyan Z-Series platforms support industry leading SONET or SDH MSPP functionality on a "blade" or module. These powerful modules fully integrate subrate SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet grooming and transport with OC-192, STM-64 or software selectable 10G OTU-2 transport technologies for an easy migration to DWDM.
