Bringing Intelligence into an SFP

Smart SFPs bring simplicity to your network by design.
By integrating network functions into transceivers, Smart SFPs can replace several devices in your network.

What is a Smart SFP?

Smart SFPs integrate network functions directly into transceivers, eliminating the need for multiple devices. This streamlined approach reduces network complexity, lowers power consumption, and minimizes your carbon footprint—helping you cut both OPEX and environmental impact.

As a true zero-footprint solution, Smart SFPs also reduce CAPEX. By simply replacing existing transceivers, you gain powerful network enhancements without the cost of additional hardware.

Intelligent system functions inside a transceiver.
Network functions for: Service Assurance, Network Migration, Network Timing an many more.
Various flavors as with regular SFPs: duplex & bi-directional, different reaches up to 80km
Powered by host.

AimValley is the global leader in Smart SFPs. We manage to fit a tremendous amount of technology into the physical size and power constraints of a pluggable SFP. Whether you are looking for TDM/SONET/SDH circuit emulation over packet or intelligent OAM devices for Service Assurance, we have the right solution for your network.

Smart SFP Development

Together with OE Solutions AimValley has developed the Smart SFP Portfolio (smartsfp.com).
