Mark Stevens, president, of Nortel ANZ, said "The Common Photonic Layer fundamentally changes the way optical networks transmit information by reducing the number of amplifiers needed for long-range, high bandwidth transmissions. This makes it particularly suited to sparsely populated, expansive regions like Australia, where getting high bandwidth services to regional areas can be cost-prohibitive." Nortel is providing network integration and maintenance services including network engineering and testing, technical support and repair, and product technical training. According to Nortel, the key goal of CPL is "to dramatically simplify the transport layer to ensure that the multiservice switches, DWDM terminals, optical core switches and other service elements that connect into it can have their services carried end-to-end." With CPL the optical transport layer is separated from the service layer and Nortel claims this enables it to offer "a highly flexible, optimised and intelligent common photonic layer to metro, regional and long haul networks [which] eliminates the boundaries between each, thereby creating one converged, easy-to-operate, all-optical network."
