NTT-AT’s optical switch unit NSW series is a new style of network solution that
switches pathways instantly in the “physical layer.”
In addition to the functions of physically selecting, combing, and disconnecting the
pathways of optical signals, NSW lets you enjoy the convenience of an Instantaneous, Automatic, Transparent, and Remote Controlled system. 24 hours a day, 365
days a year operation service and remote location operation brings a huge benefit
to telecommunication enterprises.
Since the single point link to other communication enterprises and equipment and
transmission path of your side of a network can be transparently and simply
duplicated, the resulting high availability hot standby redundant structure is
especially advantageous. There is also the sense of security of being able to cut
connections physically, and a reduction in risks of damage and loss due to
problems such as packet storms.
In other words, this optical switch unit is an automatic patch panel. Addressing the
weak link in mission critical service of poor measures in the physical layer brings
dramatic improvement in operations.
