Overview 3
This section introduces the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System platforms and
provides a more detailed view of the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System physical
design.
Introduction 3
The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System is a flexible high-capacity lightwave
system that transports digitally encoded information through single-mode optical
fibers at the synchronous optical network (SONET) OC-48 signal level of 2.5 Gb/s
(up to 32,256 voice channels). The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System consists of
several platforms. A platform is a family of equipment and software configurations
designed to support a particular set of applications. These platforms include the:
■ FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal (E-Bay)
■ FT-2000 OC-48 Dual Lightwave Terminating Bay (D-Bay)
■ FT-2000 OC-48 Repeater (R-Bay)
These platforms enable the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System to offer flexible
and upgradable features for different applications in high-capacity loop, interoffice,
outstate, and long-haul environments, and to provide different sets of features.
The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System software enables the different platforms to
be upgraded with new features as they become available.
