A physical layer switch allows operators to dynamically reconfigure network resources to meet the highly variable real-time demand associated with 5G transport networks.

CALIENT’s vCluster is an effective and commercially available switching solution to support the expansion of the emerging disaggregated computing paradigm.

Virtualizing the optical layer allows Service Providers and Data Centers to optimize all the new and legacy systems in their optical networks.

Virtual pod (vPod) architecture allows compute resources to be physically shared and dynamically allocated, according to demand, across the data center.

Service providers can take advantage of emerging SDN solutions to build efficient & service-friendly metro networks
