ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) provides a comprehensive, intelligent dense wavelength-
division multiplexing (DWDM) solution for expanding metropolitan area (metro) and regional bandwidth.
Product Overview
The Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP offers a Mesh/Multiring Upgrade (MMU) card, shown in Figure 1, to provide a simple, reliable, and cost-
effective solution to upgrade a Degree-2 ROADM Node to support additional flexibility. The MMU card is part of the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP
intelligent DWDM architecture engineered to reduce DWDM complexity and speed the deployment of next-generation networking solutions.

The MMU card is a plug-in module that takes advantage of the proven Cisco ONS 15454 carrier-class features to deliver the flexibility to
deploy a ROADM node that is scalable in-service to support additional add/drop directions. Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP ROADM units provide
each customer with access to every wavelength in all the nodes of a network, with the flexibility to decide if the wavelength has to be dropped
locally or be allowed to pass through to the rest of the network (Degree-2 ROADM). This flexibility is enough for about 80 percent of the
add/drop locations in a metro or metro core DWDM network, according to what customers are expecting in the foreseeable future of their
networks. Other locations in the network will require, in the future, the ability to route wavelengths and services across more than two
