Flexible Open Line Systems with the Dynamic Connectivity Platform (DCP)

With an open architecture the functionality of once monolithic optical transport systems can be disaggregated, using embedded transceivers, open line systems and SDN control, resulting in a much better price/performance. Smartoptics has therefore developed the Dynamic Connectivity Platform (DCP) for active open line systems of all types, may they be simple point-to-point links or advanced, ROADM-based, ring and mesh networks. To fit all the varying needs of an open line system, the DCP platform comes in three flavors – the DCP-M, the DCP-R and the DCP-F families – each optimized for a particular type of optical network.
