• Replaceable lithium Ion battery• Protects against unexpected power loss

• NIC Plus – 5 slot chassis

• Can support all rates from 1.5M to 43G + Ethernet in one box• Supports optical jitter & wander

• NIC EP – 5 slot rack mount chassis

• All capabilities of NIC Plus in rackmount chassis• For embedded remote test/monitoring & manufacturing

NIC Platform

• SDH support up to 10G.

• OTN support up to 11.3G.

• ODU multiplexing.

LOA/D

HOA/D• Design allows each

board to function independently of others allowing multiple tests and multiple interfaces.

• Add / drop interfaces allow traffic to be passed between boards.

Board Architecture

• Support for SDH, OTN, Ethernet at 40G

• Support for OTN, Ethernet at 100G

• Multi-lane physical interface testing

• Secondary 10G board allows multiplexing to lower order SDH and ODU payloads.

• Requires two slots.
