BTI 7000 Series

Packet optical networking made easy

Bandwidth demands across mobile broadband, residential broadband and business service applications continue to increase requirements for packet services, optical capacity, dynamic networking, and management simplicity in service-provider and enterprise networks.

The BTI 7000 Series is the industry’s most compact, modular and easy-to-use carrier-grade packet optical networking system. Purpose-built to unify packet and optical service delivery capabilities into one platform for network layer consolidation, it integrates Carrier Ethernet switching with a touch-less WDM optical layer. Service-centric management simplifies Ethernet and wavelength service delivery and provides high operational value.

BTI 7000 Series at a glance

Modular platforms to address diverse service requirements

With four platform variants and interchangeable modules, BTI’s flagship 7000 series delivers deployment flexibility for edge through metro core to regional applications. Our high-density platforms lower the cost per bit of service delivery and simplify network operations by reducing the number of physical elements to manage.

The any-slot-any-module architecture enables provisioning and deployment of photonic, wavelength, and packet layer network modules in a configuration that best fits your operational model. The BTI 7200 and BTI 7060 platforms also offer “pay-as-you-grow” expansion shelf architectures that enable deployment of multiple shelves, managed as a single network entity, designed to address high-density and aggregation solutions.

Ethernet service capabilities:

Integrated, MEF-certified packetVX™ service modules provide provisioning and delivery of Ethernet connectivity without the need for separate Layer 2 Ethernet switches.

Wavelength service efficiency and capacity:

Multiprotocol muxponders enable the efficient combination of services through multiplexing onto the same 10 Gb/s or 2.5 Gb/s wavelengths; these modules also offer innovative distributed add/drop capabilities. Multiprotocol transponders provide high-capacity interconnect at line rates up to 10 Gb/s. The architecture of BTI’s dual transponders offers high-density extension of two independent client protocols or resilient 1+1 facility protection of a single client service.

Dynamically scalable networking:

Ensure costs are closely tied to service revenue and subscriber requirements with scalable network capacity that is directly correlated to demand. WDM can be implemented with as little as one service wavelength and scaled to full capacity as requirements grow. As well, Dynamic Optical Layer solutions combine reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing, reach extension and end-to-end service-centric and path-centric management capabilities for simplified, zero-touch operations and enhanced automation of wavelength and packet-based services.

Rapid provisioning and delivery:

Service-centric management of the BTI 7000 Series with proNX™ Service Manager guarantees customer responsiveness. Provision services like they’re sold, define the port and the characteristics, identify the endpoints, and the system’s intelligence takes care of the rest. There is no manual provisioning of elements, ports, modules at intermediary points.

Convergence Enabler:

WDM ‘virtual fiber’ maximizes network capacity with CWDM, DWDM or hybrid infrastructures. Service providers can converge separate, application-specific networks, eliminating the need for reactionary and costly network overlays.

Comprehensive optical networking capabilities:

Network multiplexers cost-effectively multiply the capacity of fiber infrastructure. Additionally, the BTI 7000 Series reach extension modules extend DWDM service connectivity and address large metro and regional network applications, while network adaptation modules help address any physical infrastructure.

Operational Efficiency:

Realize significant deployment savings and operational value through the efficient use of rack space, lower power requirements and consolidated network OAM.
