Importance of OTN

Growing Demand for OTN

Sterling Perrin speaks about OTN at Packet-Optical Transport Evolution conference Sembarc’s customer engagements provide us with an insight into the vast opportunities that exist within the OTN market. OTN’s ever-increasing importance was highlighted again this past week at the ‘Packet-Optical Transport Evolution 2011’ conference in New York. In one address Sterling Perrin stated that “there is an understanding this year that OTN has become the central requirement of the core packet-optical transport network”. He went on to describe some of the converging market drivers bringing about this increased importance and delivered the line “OTN does Packet better than Packet does OTN”.

Such a statement is justified, in part, by the recent new additions to the OTN standards that enable the switching of packets without ‘packet switching’. These include ODU0, ODUflex, and ODUflex with hitless re-resizing. Sembarc is building on our foundation of Telecoms Transport system knowledge and chip design experience to ensure that Sembarc’s OTN IP library addresses these ITU-T standards additions (and corresponding industry opportunities) efficiently and effectively.

Sembarc will be providing our thoughts on these topics and more during IIR’s ‘WDM and Next Generation Optical Networking 2011‘ conference. Sembarc’s CEO, William Smith, will partake in an OTN panel session to be held on June 23rd (Day 3) in the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.
