Product Overview
The Cisco
®
ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) supports a 40-Gbps Full C-Band Tunable
CP-DQPSK Transponder Card, which simplifies the integration and transport of 40 Gigabit Ethernet and
OC-768/STM-256 interfaces and services into enterprises or service provider optical networks (Figure 1).
Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP Release 9.2.1 extends the overall data bandwidth that can be transported by the system
with a factor of four, allowing transmission across Cisco ONS15454 MSTP dense wavelength-division multiplexing
(DWDM) networks up to 3.20 Tbps over 80 wavelengths at 40 Gbps.

Challenge and Solution
The bandwidth carried on core and metropolitan (metro) DWDM networks is growing exponentially, while
operators’ revenues are not growing as quickly. The Cisco ONS 15454 40 Gbps solution can dramatically lower the
operators’ revenues are not growing as quickly. The Cisco ONS 15454 40 Gbps solution can dramatically lower the
cost to carry bandwidth, helping to maintain and improv
e customers’ profitability. Internet growth is still exponential,
mainly due to demand for next-generation services such as quadruple play (data, voice, video, and mobility), video
distribution, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and other high-bandwidth services.
This growth slows transmission in DWDM networks that require technology advances to support such large
bandwidth. The scale of 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps is the perfect solution for this problem; it quadruples the bandwidth
that can be transported over existing fiber networks.
