Bringing Intelligence into an SFP!
What is a Smart SFP?
Smart SFPs bring simplicity to your network by design. Integrating network functions to transceivers, Smart SFPs can replace several devices in your network. You decrease the overall number of devices used in your network, thereby making your network much simpler. With a simple network, you can lower overall power consumptions as well as carbon footprint and reduce your OPEX. Smart SFPs are zero footprint solution and CAPEX gets lower for the same level of network enhancement by simply replacing existing transceivers.
- 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.
