Open Optical Networking
Open Choice System - Freedom to Scale, Evolve, Integrate
PacketLight's open choice system for optical networking gives telecom carriers, data centers, governement, and cloud providers the freedom to build future-ready, high-capacity transport networks , without proprietary restrictions.
Built on global standards (DWDM, OTN, ROADM) and engineered for full Layer 0–3 interoperability, our solutions enable seamless integration across diverse vendors, platforms, and protocols. Whether you're connecting data centers, scaling GPU workloads, or modernizing legacy networks, PacketLight empowers your teams to control and evolve your optical backbone with confidence.
In an era where agility, scalability, and AI-readiness define competitive advantage, PacketLight delivers open optical network transport infrastructure that removes vendor lock-in and accelerates your digital transformation.
Vendor-Neutral Transport. Standards-Based Design. Zero Lock-In.
Open networking isn’t a buzzword at PacketLight, it’s how we deliver total network freedom and interoperability without compromise:
Vendor-Neutral Architecture
Seamlessly integrate with existing L0–L3 equipment.
Standards-Based Design
Fully ITU-T compliant: DWDM (G.694.1), OTN (G.709), Open ROADM (G.872), Flexgrid, and more.
API & Orchestration Ready
SNMP, CLI, MIBs, and REST APIs for integration into any NMS, OSS/BSS, or SDN controller.
Protocol-Agnostic Transport
Supports mix of protocols: e.g. Ethernet (1GbE–800GbE), Fibre Channel, OTN, SDI, with ZR/ZR+ and OpenROADM optics, and alien wavelengths. Interoperable with third-party signals and network elements.
No Hidden Licenses
All features, wavelengths, ports, and operational modes are open and included-no gating or proprietary restrictions.
Flexible Uplink & Modulation
Supports open modulation formats and uplinks — optimized for performance, dispersion, reach and cost-efficiency across diverse topologies.
Why Open Matters More than Ever
Aligning network design with long-term business strategy for maximum ROI.
Design with freedom
Modular, scalable platforms integrate into any infrastructure, from DCI, to metro to long-haul fiber routes, with full multi-vendor support for Layer 0–3 environments.
Simplify operations
Easy provisioning with NMS, accelerate troubleshooting, and unify diagnostics across disaggregated networks. Open interfaces empower you to manage, monitor, and evolve without outside dependencies.
