IP Infusion Joins Software, Device and Component Vendors in the Telecom Infra Project to Create Industry-First Software Interface for Optical Modules and Systems
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IP Infusion, a leading provider of intelligent network software for telecom and data communications services, announced that the company is working with the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) to create the industry’s first software interface for optical modules and systems to allow faster integration of elements in disaggregated optical systems. IP Infusion is working with the Open Optical & Packet Transport Group within TIP, focusing on the development of Transport Abstraction Interface (TAI).
In partnership with Facebook and other device, component and software vendors within the ecosystem, IP Infusion is working to build a carrier grade and feature-rich Open Networking Platform to cater to a broad range of applications and services. IP Infusion is extending its OcNOS™ network operating system to support open packet transponder platforms to enable integrated packet optical devices. Through these initiatives and partnerships, IPI will help customers deploy more cost effective and integrated Packet (IP/MPLS) Optical solutions based on disaggregated systems for DCI, metro and backhaul deployments.

IP Infusion’s OcNOS has support for Cassini open packet transponder from Edgecore Networks. The collaboration with other ecosystems partners NTT, Oclaro and Acacia to support the Transport Abstraction Interface (TAI) abstraction layer for the optical coherent modules allows OcNOS to support different underlying hardware, optical modules or DSP to work in a uniform manner. The group’s work will integrate support for different optical interfaces, such as analog coherent optical modules (ACOs) or digital coherent optical modules (DCOs), from different optical vendors.
“IP Infusion is collaborating with TAI ecosystem partners to implement and extend TAI for OcNOS network operating system to support open packet transponder platforms,” said Atsushi Ogata, President and CEO of IP Infusion. “TAI will make it easier to support different disaggregated platforms and coherent optics from multiple vendors in a CFP2 form factor and reduce Coherent Optical modules and subsystem development and integration time from months to days.”
At TIP Summit 2018 on October 16-17 in London, IP Infusion (Stand B6) will demonstrate OcNOS running on the Cassini open packet transponder from Edgecore Networks integrated with TAI enabling the integration of Coherent optical interfaces based on merchant DSPs from NTT Electronics and ACO or DCO pluggable optical modules from Oclaro and Acacia.
