CHRONOS100G network protocol converter

with 100% packet delivery, for

Evolved Long Haul, Core, Metro and

Data Centre networks.

Optical transport networks are complex.

Lumacron's CHRONOS protocol converter is designed

to process up to 100Gbps of traffic on evolved, packet

optical networks in a compact and highly integrated 1RU

chassis.

Dynamic support for auto-discovery of Telecom and

Datacom protocols on a per port basis is integrated

seamlessly behind an easy to use RESTful interface, to

automate targeting and delivery of traffic for analytics,

monitoring and SIGINT applications.

100% network visibility.

Lumacron’s protocol converters provide instant access

to the full signal hierarchy on the target lambda,

facilitating informed decision making in the downstream

packet processing domain.

Empower your mission with feature-rich, 100G

throughput and 100% packet delivery from Long Haul,

Core, Metro and Data Centre networks.

Instrumenting Optical Networks

TDM & Packet Protocol Support

Full support for the Optical Transport

Networks (OTN ITU G.709), Synchronous

Optical Network - Synchronous Digital

Hierarchy (SONET-SDH ITU G.707) and

Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standards.

Dynamic Signal Auto-Discovery

Hassle-free network interfacing. No need to

pre-configure the platform to a known

protocol. Automatic and dynamic detection

and qualification of the incoming traffic

stream to determine type, rate and if

appropriate hierarchy structure. Bypass

mode available for non-standard streams.

Cost Effective Footprint

Smallest possible rack footprint with minimal

power and space requirements leading to

overall power savings vs. competing rack

mounted solutions. Lowest cost per

processed bit vs. competing solutions.

Operational Assurance

Architected to maximize airflow efficiency

and deliver long term reliability. Dual

redundant, load sharing and hot swappable

power supplies. Individually redundant, load

sharing and hot-swappable fan modules.

Fully automated control of power, voltage,

system and fault monitoring.

Highly Configurable

In-field upgrades available to bolster

datapath support and keep pace with

operator network provisioning. Control

p l a n e a n d e g r e s s d a t a s t r u c t u r e

customization to smooth integration with

existing infrastructure. Disaggregated

optical interfaces, supporting independent

Tx/Rx or fully bidirectional interfaces per

pluggable module.

100G Use CaseThe diagram to the right, shows the top level architecture of the CHRONOS

platform.

In this scenario, we have 2 sets of optical ports, of which 1 are active at any time,

depending on the confirmation of the unit.

Supported configurations are;

Ÿ 1 x 100G Ingress <> 1 x 100G Egress.

Ÿ 1 x 100G Ingress <> 10 x 10G Egress.

Ÿ 10 x 10G Ingress <> 1 x 100G Egress.

Ÿ 10 x 10G Ingress <> 10 x 10G Egress.

Note: Custom configurations are also available upon request.

Ingress signals can be any combination of OTN, SONET-SDH or Ethernet protocols.

Egress signals are typically Ethernet protocol, but can be modified to suit the

ingress requirements of the downstream system.

After termination, extraction and processing, the packet payload content is

switched to the relevant egress port for further processing downstream.
