Coriant’s hiT 7100 optical switch offers powerful management tools, a multi-layer control plane, and a modest ROADM size and footprint, but, a modest switching capacity threatens its ability to excel as a terabit optical core switch.

hiT 7100 benefits:

• Achieve more efficient use of network resources with integrated OTN and MPLS-TP switching
• Realize significant capital and operational savings by optimizing the use of network transport layers
• Achieve up to 40% less wavelength usage to reduce the total number of costly transponders
• Reduce router traffic to save up to 80% CAPEX (capital expenditure) and up to 60% OPEX (operational expenditure)
