Marconi SmartPhotoniX PMX a Photonic Interconnect System

The PMX system allows for the future. Its core is built on the PMA32 that supports single ring network architectures, combine this with in-service capability and the PMX can be expanded to support a second ring with interconnect facilities available between rings. This simple but effect architecture is ideal for emerging and growing networks.

Features Summary
Thirty-two channel photonic dual ring interconnect multiplexer
Ring applications
16 wavelength interconnect facility
Multi-rate 2.5G fixed wavelength regeneration
Span distance between nodes of 80 Km, expandable using optical amplifiers
Tributary span distance of up to 25 Km
1+1 Optical Sub-Network Connection Protection (ONCP)
Multiplex Section Protection for terminal applications
Path and section trace
Reconfigurable transponding tributaries
Remote configuration and management
