The TM-Series is a family of CWDM and DWDM carrier-class optical transport products that provide the transport of any service between 10Mb/s and 40Gb/s in multi-reach transport applications. Enabling cost efficient increase of metro network capacity, it uses CWDM/DWDM technology in an innovative way for the best transport network economics.

With multi dimensional scalability, the TM-Series’ products allow the CWDM/DWDM network to grow, both in size and functionality. Furthermore, the Integrated Ethernet capabilities in our Native Packet Optical approach provides cost efficient transport and enables affordable service differentiation in metro/access networks.

The TM-Series supports carrier-class infrastructure applications such as Mobile Backhaul networks, CATV/MSO backhaul networks, Broadband Backhaul, Business Ethernet, SDH/SONET transport & capacity expansion and Gigabit Ethernet transport. The unparalleled modularity and scalability of the TM-Series enables cost efficient low entry deployments with the reassurance of economic capacity growth to match growing demand.

TM-Series features and benefits in short:
