Ribbon Communications: Apollo 9901X Access OTN Switch

March 23, 2021
The Apollo 9901X makes provisioning L1 business services easy. Rather than mapping multiple colored interfaces onto a ring using muxponders, it supports all services on a single 100G wavelength.
The Apollo 9901X makes provisioning L1 business services easy. Rather than mapping multiple colored interfaces onto a ring using muxponders, it supports all services on a single 100G wavelength. L1 services connect to the 9901X via low-cost gray interfaces, and are added to the ring traffic under software control.

Judge’s comment: “Enterprises need a cost-effective and quick solution for their access needs. This new product provides this."
