Optical Transport Platforms for Data Centre, Metro, and Long-Haul Networks

Lynx delivers compact optical transport platforms for data centre, DCI, metro, regional and long-haul networks. Each one-rack-unit chassis can be configured for mixed 10 GbE to 800 GbE Ethernet and matching Fibre Channel services, with support for dual 800 GbE capacity within a single platform, with built-in Layer 1 AES-256 encryption for security-sensitive workloads. Licence keys and standards-based pluggable optics let operators add bandwidth in measured steps without forklift upgrades.

Our team helps you select, design, deploy, and support the mix of optical hardware, software, and services that fits your network goals.

High Capacity OTN Devices

High Capacity OTN Devices

Scalable high-capacity optical transport platforms for metro, backbone, and data centre interconnect applications, supporting dense 100G–800G services with carrier-grade resiliency and encryption.

Transponders

Transponders

Map client signals onto DWDM or CWDM wavelengths over existing fibre, covering metro, regional and long-haul spans.

Muxponders

Muxponders

Combine lower-rate services into one 100 G, 200 G or 400 G wavelength, conserving fibre and simplifying upgrades across metro, regional and DCI routes.

ROADM

ROADM Solutions

Colourless, directionless, contentionless add-drop shelves in 4-, 8- or 32-degree options provide flexible wavelength routing for rings and meshes.

Fiber Monitoring

Fibre Monitoring

Non-intrusive OTDR and OSA functions detect degradation early and locate faults before they affect live traffic.

Network Management System (NMS)

Network Management System (NMS)

LightWatch software handles provisioning, monitoring, alarms, performance graphs, inventory and access controls for every Lynx optical element from a single Windows or Linux console.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which service rates do Lynx optical transport platforms support?

They carry mixed client services from 10 GbE up to 800 GbE and the equivalent Fibre Channel rates.

Yes. Every Lynx chassis ships with Layer 1 AES-256 encryption that can be activated per link or per service.

Yes. Capacity can be added in stages with licence keys and pluggable optics, so no forklift upgrades are required.

They are designed for data-centre, metro, regional and long-haul optical networks.

Muxponders aggregate lower-rate services into a single high-capacity wavelength, reducing fibre use and simplifying future upgrades.

The fibre-monitoring solution provides continuous OTDR and OSA visibility, detecting degradation and pinpointing faults before live service is affected.
