400G OTN Digital Wrapper

Precise-ITC offers a dynamically reconfigurable OTUC4, 2xOTUC2, and 4xOTU4 OTN (Callite-C4) digital wrapper IP core solution. The IP core is a perfect choice for carrying 400/200GE (IEEE  802.3bs) signal, 100GE signal over Optical Transport Network. Software can configure the IP core into 1xOTUC4 mode, 2xOTUC2 mode and 4xOTU4 mode dynamically.

The Core supports 3 levels of OH insertions and extractions : register programming, memory programming and external programming via a dedicated OH port. It comes with Optional GFEC/HDFEC core, which can be bypassed when connected with external high-gain FEC or Coherence module. It also comes with optional FlexO-1/2/4-SR Line interface or OTLC4 interface. The OTN core supports full alarm and OH inserts and extracts as specified in ITU G.709 and ITU G.798.

The following diagram shows an application example of mapping 400GE/2x200GE/4x100GE onto OTUC4 Core.
