FlexiPort technology
Now you can support tomorrow’s services on today’s infrastructure with the point-and-click ease of a simple software download.
FlexiPort technology, a cornerstone of Ciena’s FlexSelect™ Architecture, enables the industry’s first and only software-programmable optical ports. Each slot can be configured remotely to meet customer service requirements, speeding time to revenue by assuring you have the right equipment at the right time—no matter what your customer demands.
FlexiPort technology supports multiple transport services on any available port at any speed with on-demand activation. Any mix of services—such as SONET/SDH, Ethernet, video and storage—can be aggregated and transported together onto the same wavelength with full transparency, while guaranteeing full performance management.
Looking for a fresh approach to profitable convergence that mitigates the risk of TDM-to-packet migration? FlexiPort technology reduces provisioning time by 95 percent and sparing costs by 66 percent—all through the use of a universal line card that adapts to any mix of services—no matter what the future holds.
