Network operators leveraging Ericsson's SPO POTP family can deliver low- and high-TDM and packet and wavelength services across metropolitan area network (MAN) and regional network (RNN) access over a common set of platforms with a single IP multi-layer transport network management system (IPT NMS). The sPO 1400 features a simple and scalable hybrid TDM-WDM packet architecture ideal for legacy TDM-based networks requiring a low-risk transition to ultra-high-capacity packet transport. Its block-build architecture provides operators with the flexibility to optimize node configurations for location and cost, with the ability to scale optical capacity without sacrificing switching platform capacity.

The SPO 1400 family offers the highest capacity density and lowest power profile in the POTP/P-OTS industry, with support for OTN, SONET/SDH, and PDH, and high-performance, connection-oriented Layer 2 Ethernet switching and aggregation, and WDM technology.
