Lynx supplies one-rack-unit optical platforms that can combine DWDM, flexible OTN switching, hardware Layer 1 encryption, and fibre diagnostics in the configurations customers select. Teams start with the functions they need today and unlock extra capacity or new features later through licence keys and pluggable optics.
Because the same hardware adapts to different distance goals and compliance rules, it supports cloud backbones, research networks, finance, media contribution, and critical-infrastructure links. Open management APIs and standards-based modules fit with orchestration tools you already use, so each deployment can grow from a single circuit to a multiservice network without disruptive change.
Private backbones move mixed 10 GbE to 400 GbE and Fibre Channel between sites on one fibre pair with optional AES-256 encryption and link protection.
Links from 400 G to 800 G keep GPU clusters in sync with sub-millisecond latency; bandwidth scales by licence as compute grows.
DWDM transponders carry encrypted 400 G and 800 G channels from landing stations to inland cores with automatic power control and diverse paths.
Coherent optics extend 100 G to 400 G services to about 4 000 km; software keys lift capacity from metro to national reach while analytics confirm SLAs.
The same 1 U building blocks support data centre interconnect, AI and machine-learning fabrics, submarine backhaul, ultra-long-haul transport, open optical networking, Layer-1 encryption, alien wavelengths, fibre monitoring, uncompressed video contribution, single-fibre operation, multimode reach extension and DWDM overlays on existing CWDM rings.
Lynx platforms mix 10 G, 100 G, 200 G, 400 G, 800 G and 1.6 T channels on the same dense-wave system.
Hardware GCM-AES-256 encryption is available per service or per uplink and complies with FIPS 140-3, CNSA and Common Criteria guidelines, ensuring wire-speed protection without added latency.
Yes. Open management APIs, field-pluggable optics and adherence to modern TMN standards allow each chassis to slot into current OSS/BSS and SDN environments; fibre diagnostics and SLA analytics feed directly into Lynx LightWatch NMS.
