40-Channel Single-Module ROADM for the Cisco ONS 15454 
Multiservice Transport Platform 

The Cisco

®

 ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) provides a comprehensive, intelligent dense 

wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) solution for expanding metropolitan (metro) and regional bandwidth.

Release 9.1 of the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP e

xpands the platform’s reconfiguration options. In addition to the existing 

32-channel and 40-channel reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) cards, two new cards (Figure 1) are 

introduced in this release to optimize and increase the 

MSTP’s throughput density. By integrating multiple features on 

the same card (optical service channel [OSC], amplification, and ROADM), the single-module ROADM (SMR) cards 

are so compact that they can be added to any node in the network, extending optical add/drop multiplexing to the 

edge. 

The new 40-channel single-module ROADM with integrated optical pre-amplifier (part number 40-SMR1-C) combines 

the OSC add/drop filter, a pre-amplifier, and a 2x1 wavelength selective switch (WSS)-based ROADM core into a 

single-slot unit. This unit is optimized for Degree-2 reconfigurable nodes. 

The 40-channel single-module ROADM with integrated optical pre-amplifier and boost amplifier (part number 40-

SMR2-C) includes the OSC add/drop filter, pre- and boost amplifiers, and a 4x1 WSS-based ROADM core. This unit 

provides an effective way to support multi-degree nodes up to Degree-4, allowing in-service upgrade from Degree-2 

up to Degree-4 at a very competitive price point. 

Similarly to the already available 40-channel wavelength cross-connect (40-WXC) card, and thanks to the software 

functionalities extended from previous releases, the 40-SMR2-C card provides multi-degree switching capabilities at 

the individual wavelength level. Mesh and multi-ring network topologies can now be deployed using the Cisco ONS 

15454 MSTP with complete flexibility of service routing at all nodes in the network.
