Open Optical Networks

Apollo - Featuring Unique Capabilities for Service Aggregation, Optical Transmission, and Wavelength Routing


All of our Apollo systems, featuring unique capabilities for service aggregation, optical transmission, and wavelength routing, can be deployed stand-alone with full control through standard industry interfaces.

Ribbon makes it easy for network operators to leverage our innovations and apply them to any segment of their optical network at their own pace.

Open Optical Line System

Particularly noteworthy is Apollo’s open optical line system that routes any wavelength from any IP router, OTN transponder or OTN switch, with:

  • Multi-layer route diversity
  • Dynamic WSON restoration
  • Comprehensive performance monitoring.

Moreover, the OLS creates new carrier-of-carrier business opportunities by extending alien wavelengths to full spectrum sharing
