Architected For Simpler Network Evolution

With its integrated low-order TDM fabric and support for SONET/SDH network
protection schemes, Ciena’s 6200 easily fits into existing SONET/SDH architectures
and can operate as a Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP), enabling operators
to continue to support profitable DS1/E1, DS3/E3, or Ethernet T1/E1 remote
Private Line (EPL) revenue streams in a compact form factor.
Integrated centralized packet switch capabilities with industry-
