Apollo Optical Networking

Identity – who is the originator? Reputation – is this someone I want to talk to? Trust context – where did the call originate and where will it terminate?

Connecting the World with Light

Apollo programmable and open optical networks satisfy ever growing demands for bandwidth while providing network operators with future-proof solutions tailored to their individual business needs.

Built for choice, Apollo provides high-performance optical links filling up channels to their theoretical limits, as well as cost-power optimized links. All solutions use scalable pay-as-you-grow pluggable interfaces. SDN-controlled ROADMs and OTN switches dynamically route links and the services they carry from the access to the core.

pollo 9400 Series

Apollo 9400 series solutions combine ultra-high density with ultra-low power consumption to meet the optical networking needs of large communication service providers and webscale operators.

This is exemplified by the initial platform in this series, the 2RU 9408 transport platform that delivers up to 1.2T wavelengths. This features a day one density of 9.6T per platform (with a design capacity of 19.2T) at an industry-leading power consumption of less than 0.12W/G.

Apollo 9600 Series

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.

Apollo 9900 Series

Apollo 9900 series provides a complete set of access to core OTN switching platforms, with capacity scaling from 400G to 16T, enabling operators to obtain the benefits of OTN switching economically throughout their network.

Access to Core OTN Switching

Consolidated multiservice platform provides the network simplification required to streamline operations, reduce cost, accelerate service velocity, and improve network and service performance. With multiservice being the DNA of’s IP portfolio, we have proven credentials for supporting current, legacy, and new services across both IP and seamlessly integrated IP Optical networks.

In particular, Apollo features a 1RU Access OTN Switch aimed at streamlined delivery of L1 business services to Enterprises, and a Metro OTN Switch with a unique design that adds capacity in a pay as you grow fashion.
