Precise-ITC offers a dynamically reconfigurable Nx100G multi-lane OTN (Callisto) Muxponder SOC solution for 10/25/40/100GE or generic 10/25/40/100G CBR clients. The Callisto is a single SOC multi-lane muxponding solution for CBR clients via GMP mapping or packet client via GFP-F mapping. For packet/GFP-F mapping, oversubscription is supported with elastic buffer.
AES-GCM encryption and MAC/RS statistics and performance monitoring are optional add-on features to further enhance the power of Callisto SOC.
Each lane is individually configurable through an easy to use Software Application Programming Interface (API) or customizable software driver.

The following shows a few examples of how Callisto can be configured for different applications:
Muxponding
- 4x25GBASE-R <> LO ODUFLEX <> HO OPU4 <> OTU4+GFEC <> OTL4.4
- 10x10GBASE-R <> TTT 10xLO ODU2 <> HO OPU/ODU4 <> OTU4+GFEC <> OTL4.4/OTL4.10
- 2x10GBASE-R + 2x40GBASE-R <> TTT 2xLO ODU2 + 2xLO ODU3 <> HO OPU/ODU4 <> OTU4+GFEC <> OTL4.4/OTL4.10
- Customer specific muxponding lane configuration
Transponding
- 100GBASE-R <> CAUI/CAUI4 <> Ethernet Mac <> GFP-F <> OPU/ODU4 <> OTU4+GFEC <> OTL4.4/OTL4.10
- 100GBASE-R <> CAUI/CAUI4 PCS-R/MLD <> GMP <> OPU/ODU4 <> OTU4+GFEC <> OTL4.4/OTL4.10
- 100G CBR <> SFI-S <> GMP <> OPU/ODU4 <> OTU4+GFEC <> OTL4.4/OTL4.10
Each lane is independent and can be dynamically re-configured to perform a different function without affecting the other lanes in mission.
Our SOC solution can offer much higher lane (port) density per chip, typically 1-4 depending on ASIC/FPGA sizes. As a result of higher port density, better power efficiency and cost effectiveness can be obtained.
Description
Callisto is a multi-lane muxponder FPGA solution for 10/25/40/100G Ethernet or 10/25/40/100G CBR clients onto Optical Transport Network (OTN). Each lane can be configured independently.
For client mapping, the core can perform constant bit-rate (CBR) async mapping using GMP or packet mapping using GFP. With packet mapping, a bandwidth buffer is used for bandwidth management between the GFP mapper and the packet clients.The 10/25/40G CBR or packet clients are first mapped into LO ODU2, LO ODUFLEX or LO ODU3 via GMP or GFP-F and then multiplexed into ODTUmux and then to HO OPU4. The 100G client will map directly onto HO OPU4 via GMP.
The OTU4 core of Callisto supports 3 levels of OH insertions and extractions : register programming, memory programming and external programming via a dedicated OH port. The gFEC function can be disabled (or removed to save area) and a custom high-gain FEC can be used. The OTU4 core supports full alarm and OH inserts and extracts as specified in ITU G.709 and ITU G.798.
