A Circuit Switch - Not a Packet Switch (Router)
• Does not selectively route IP packets
• Switches all data on the fiber
OOO Switch - Not an OEO switch
• Does not convert Optical into Electrical (to switch it) and back into Optical (OEO)
• Optical input, Optical switch core, Optical output (OOO)
• Switches light from one fiber to another
• No timing jitter, no latency, no data corruption
What is an All-Optical Switch?
Excellence in Connectivity Solutions 6
Any wavelength that propagates through optical fiber
• Single mode: 1260-1675 nm wavelength
• Multimode: 850 and 1300 nm
Any signal that can be put into a fiber
• Digital data of any rate, and of any format
• DC to 400 Gbps+
• Audio, video, data, …
• Analog data of any rate, and of any format
• RF over fiber
• Video
• Optical Sensor data (i.e. oil field sensors)
Any signal you can put in fiber
can be switched
What types of signals can an all-optical switch route?
Excellence in Connectivity Solutions 7
Why fiber switching?
…optical switching enables dynamic connectivity
• Cable once, reconfigure remotely
• Provision in milliseconds not days / weeks
• Avoid cost, power, delay of unnecessary OEO conversions
• Create transparent paths with near zero data latency
• Maintain inventory of cross-connects in management software
From automated patch panel ……
…..to software defined networking.
The fiber layer is (mostly) static…
• Manual moves, adds and changes are slow
and prone to error
• Unstructured cabling consumes duct capacity
over time

Summary
20
Polatis provides the industry’s highest performance, broadest line of all-optical switches and modules with rich software functionality for simple network integration
Optical circuit switching is now a proven, reliable and cost-effective resource for dynamic connectivity at the fiber layer
Integration of optical circuit switching under a common SDN control plane enables rapid provisioning, protection, reconfiguration and test directly at the fiber layer
Load balancing and selective routing using hybrid packet-optical switch architectures promise significant gains in datacenter efficiency, throughput & latency
Fiber layer cross-connects facilitate virtualization of optical resources and allow physical isolation between users
