OTN adaptation for support of subrate granularity and flexibility and for distribution across multiple modem engines

Abstract:

Systems and methods for Optical Transport Network (OTN) transmission include an adaptation circuit configured to receive a plurality of signals each from a corresponding optical modem of a plurality of optical modems, wherein each of the plurality of signals was received by the corresponding optical modem, and reassemble the plurality of signals into an Optical Transport Network (OTN) signal.
