TRIDENT7 Central Office

The Dual Star Advantage

Since the TRIDENT7™ Universal Access Platform is a critical component of an all-optic network infrastructure, Enablence designed it for highly resilient operation with built-in redundancy and load sharing.

TRIDENT7 offers industry-leading port densities and subscriber capacity options, with up to 64 ports for GPON, 72 for GEPON as well as 6 10G and 10 1G Ethernet uplink ports.

The TRIDENT7 line also includes the compact OLT, or COLT, which is designed to provide the functionality of an OLT for smaller remote or multi-dwelling unit (MDU) installations without sacrificing the rich feature set of the TRIDENT7.

The TRIDENT7 features Enablence’s industry leading carrier-grade non-blocking architecture, called Dual Star.

With Dual Star, the access technology is separated from the transport technology on the backplane of the chassis. The backplane contains a pair of dedicated line (or transport) cards that are designed to take in the fiber-optic transport connection from the outside world and to provide transport protection in the event of a fiber optic cut or blade failure. The remaining slots on the backplane are populated by customer facing service cards in the system.
