Muse™ Multilayer Automation Platform

Maximizing the Value of your IP Routing and Optical Networks

Lottie file

Ribbon’s Muse Multilayer Automation Platform is a cloud‑native, multilayer domain controller for IP/MPLS and optical service provider transport automation. It provides real‑time control across Ribbon’s IP routing and optical portfolio, enabling network operators to gain operational visibility and extract greater value from their networks. Muse integrates with Operations Support Systems (OSS) / Business Support Systems (BSS) through open APIs and northbound interfaces, and supports third‑party network equipment for unified visibility, topology management, and alarm monitoring. 

Muse was really the game-changer, ten button clicks in Muse and it’s built! It’s a game-changer for us operationally.
