Intel® FPGA IP and Solutions for Optical Transport Networks

IP Cores for Optical Transport Network Systems

Taking advantage of Intel’s library of 'optical transport IP cores' allows you to take time and uncertainty out of your program and concentrate on 'the larger picture'.

The following list is an example of the types of Intel® IP cores that can be offered for your optical transport system based on Intel FPGAs:

• FEC for
  • 2.5 Gbps –100 Gbps OTN
  • 100 Gbps –800 Gbps FlexO, FlexE
  • 25 Gbps –800 Gbps Ethernet
• 10-100 Gbps OTN Multiplexer
• N x 100 Gbps ‘Beyond 100G’ OTN Multiplexer
• FlexO termination
• N x 100 Gbps FlexE and MTN Multiplexer / Shim
• BMP/GMP/GFP/AMP mapping of Ethernet / SONET / SDH / FibreChannel / SDI services into OTN
• 100-400 GbE / 1-80 channel MultiChannel Ethernet MAC
• OTN Segmentation and Re-assembly (SAR)
• AES-GCM Encryption

Integrated Transport Solutions

With Intel FPGAs you also can also obtain a complete and completed turnkey solution, also known as a virtual ASSP. The advantages of such an integrated transport solution are as follow:

• Simplify your design process by building on fully integrated, tested IP solutions.
• Increase flexibility and reduce risks now and in the future by utilizing our FPGA programmability.
• Streamline your system integration by providing fully tested, feature-rich transport solutions.
• Reduce solution cost and focus your internal resources on developing specific features to your product.

The figures below are examples of integrated solutions that have been or can be implemented based on Intel FPGA technology.

The solutions range from 100 Gbps solutions up to and beyond 1 Tbps solutions. There are solutions based on the OTN (/FlexO) or FlexE (/ITU MTN) line protocols. Be aware that these are only examples and they may be changed based on your needs. In many cases more of these solutions can also be offered for the same type FPGA and with common pin-outs, thus allowing you to build one common hardware board that can be configured for different use-cases.
