How it Works
In the realm of distributed network architecture, facing limitations with conventional 19” rack units in outdoor settings and their lack
of non-blocking aggregation, the Novalink Outdoor Aggregation Switch emerges as a game-changer.
With just a single existing fiber connection, the switch seamlessly replaces a lone Remote-PHY node, utilizing a 100G link on fiber. It
delivers significantly larger bandwidth over longer distances and also transforms the once-isolated location into a thriving aggregated
facility. The Novalink accommodates additional R-PHY nodes, high-bitrate PON residential customers, and Point-to-Point Ethernet business
customers—all seamlessly connected through the pre-existing trunk fiber.
The versatility of the Outdoor Aggregation Switch goes beyond the basics. Even the most straightforward aggregation tasks for operators
or smaller entities become hassle-free, thanks to its robust IP rating. This ensures that the switch exceeds the demands of diverse network
environments, providing a reliable solution for various applications. Elevate your network capabilities with WISI’s cutting-edge Outdoor
Aggregation Switch—where efficiency meets innovation.
