Apollo 9600 Series

Tailorable Optical Networking to Meet Your Unique Needs

Apollo 9600 series allows selecting from a rich set of transponder, muxponder, ROADM and amplifier line cards to tailor solutions to meet each operator’s unique optical networking needs.
All line cards can be used across any of three sizes of platforms without any engineering restriction, to create right-sized solutions in every location.

Continuous technology improvements ensure that all solutions are upgradeable and future-proof via pluggable or line card swaps.

Highly Tailorable

Any blade in any slot without engineering rules.

Open

Apollo open optical line systems transports wavelengths from any 3rd party router, switch, or optical transport system.

Optical Freedom

Dual-source supply for the majority of optical transceivers providing customers with supply chain resiliency.

Self Service Automation

Network operators can automate any process themselves using no-code/low-code tools.

Scalable

Leverage state-of-the-art 5nm-140Gbaud coherent optical transceivers to deliver 1.2T short haul wavelengths.

Security

Apollo layer 1 optical encryption stops bad actors from intercepting information from optical networking systems via fiber tapping or hacking optical equipment.

Expandable

Apollo’s C+L band solution expands fiber capacity from the C-band to the L-band efficiently and affordably, without service interruption.
