Traverse® Product Family

Turin’s Traverse® Family of Multiservice Transport Switches delivers new levels of versatility, reliability and performance to metro service edge networks by enabling diverse network operators to increase bandwidth capacity and deliver new IP/packet-based services more rapidly and efficiently. The NEBS-compliant, carrier-grade Traverse platform provides aggregation, switching and transport of Carrier Ethernet and TDM services from a single shelf. With scalability of up to 100 Gbps per system, the Traverse platform is optimized for deployments in service hubs, central offices, cable headends, co-location facilities and other high capacity sites.

Versatile, Packet-Optimized Design

The Traverse platform is a truly global solution that supports ANSI and ETSI/ITU-T network environments, as well as industry-leading international gateway capabilities. The versatile system can be deployed in linear, ring and mesh topologies and offers a wide variety of service interfaces ranging from 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and DS1/E1 to STM-64/OC-192 or 10GbE.

Advanced Layer 2 Ethernet switching and packet-based QoS mechanisms enable the delivery of Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) compliant E-Line (point-to-point) and E-LAN services that meet rigorous Ethernet service level agreements (SLAs). The Traverse platform’s distributed switching architecture reduces costs and speeds time to market for new services by supporting the “pay as you grow” integration of Ethernet switching, TDM multiplexing and transport, and Digital Cross-Connect functionality simply by adding specific modules.

The Traverse product family consists of three shelves: the 20-slot Traverse 2000, the 16-slot Traverse 1600 and the 6-slot Traverse 600. The differently sized platforms share a common set of interface and switching modules – simplifying ordering and sparing – while providing suitability for a range of applications.
