4 radisys.com The disaggregation of the software and hardware enables the evolution to future technologies (including 25G and 50G PON) while most importantly maintaining the common back-office integration, accelerating the introduction of and enabling faster time to revenue with the ability to introduce new services. Traditional chassis-based systems will always be constrained by the designed chassis itself. As new technologies are introduced, there can be limitations to port density and bandwidth capacities due to the following factors: thermals, line card pitch, backplane capacity, uplink capacity, and many other potential factors. With the Radisys disaggregated hardware approach, newer technologies can be introduced and seamlessly scale to the needs of our customers. The Radisys OLT product lines are suitable for environmentally challenging outdoor central and remote sites with electronics hardened against dust and pollution. A significant advantage of Radisys OLTs is that they can be mounted horizontally (right-to left airflow) or vertically (bottom-to-top airflow) into the most difficult service areas. The RLT-1600C-D (16-port) and the RLT-3200C-D (32-port) are 1RU and 2RU respectively, highly flexible, and open Combo-PON OLTs. Radisys OLTs are known for high quality and carrier-grade reliability with Tier I operators with data to prove 99.999% (five nines) availability. Seamless evolution of Brownfield Networks RLT-1600C-D The hardware architecture also provides great advantages over traditional chassis-based systems. The disaggregation of the hardware enables the evolution to 25G/50G PON and beyond without the need for fork-lift upgrades or significant limitations.
