CISCO ONS 15310-CL SONET MULTISERVICE PLATFORM
The Cisco
®
ONS 15310-CL SONET Multiservice Platform is an economical, 1-rack unit (1RU)-high delivery platform
optimized for use as the last network element, at the customer location (CL), in a service provider’s network or for use
as an end node in enterprise or campus environments. The Cisco ONS 15310-CL takes advantage of the proven
technology pioneered by the Cisco ONS 15454, the industry’s leading multiservice optical transport platform (Figure 1).

INTEGRATED OPTICAL NETWORKING
The Cisco ONS 15310-CL efficiently aggregates data, voice, and video services for transport. The platform effectively supports TDM and
10/100-Mbps Ethernet, and it provides integrated data-switching and cross-connect functions. Various data streams can be carried separately
or together and transported in a one-for-one dedicated bandwidth mode or in a concentrated mode with no limit on the oversubscription ratio.
With the ability to transparently integrate into SONET networks, and an expansion slot providing the modularity to meet changing network
needs, the Cisco ONS 15310-CL helps transform today’s TDM-based transport networks into flexible, data-intensive superhighways.
Although many transport products claim to handle today’s data and voice traffic, they lack the ability to provide effective bandwidth
management for higher-speed IP-based data services. Many of these platforms require significant setup time and are difficult to provision. The
Cisco ONS 15310-CL offers optimized bandwidth for high-speed IP-based data services, rapid service provisioning, and multiple optical
interfaces through Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs) for flexible SONET networking (Figure 2).
