SUPPORTING PROGRAMMABLE WAVELENGTHS

Each of the eight Groove G30 MUX line-side port wavelengths can be independently tuned over the entire C-band to support either a 96-
or 128-channel plan. In addition, the Groove G30 MUX supports multi-carrier super-channels for increased spectral utilization and seamless
interworking with all of Infinera’s flexible grid-capable line systems, including the Groove G30 OLS, Infinera 7100 Nano Packet Optical
Transport Platform for metro WAN interconnectivity applications, and Infinera 7300 Series Multi-Haul Transport Platform for long-haul WAN
interconnectivity applications, as well as any third-party line system that supports either fixed-grid or flexible spectrum provisioning. The
wavelength tuning and optical interface parameters are configurable via command line interface (CLI), WebGUI, SNMP, and NETCONF.
Optional management and control are available through Infinera Transcend Software Suite, including the Infinera Transcend Network
Management System (NMS) for Transport and Infinera Transcend Software-defined Networking (SDN) solution.

SIMPLIFYING INTEGRATION AND OPERATION IN CLOUD AND DATA CENTER ENVIRONMENTS

The Groove G30 MUX provides standards-based interfaces that simplify integration and operation within cloud and data center
environments, including support for open northbound interfaces (NBIs) and APIs. The supported interfaces include CLI, WebGUI, SNMP
fault and performance management, Syslog, zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gRPC machine-to-machine APIs.
The Groove G30 MUX provides a set of native YANG models that can map into any industry-standard or proprietary YANG model. These
interfaces enable the rapid integration of the Groove G30 MUX into traditional telecommunications environments and data center SDN
environments. The Groove G30 MUX is fully integrated with Infinera planning, management, and control solutions, including the Infinera
Transcend Software Suite and Transcend NMS.

Deploying over Third-party Line Systems

The Groove G30 MUX is based on open protocols and industry standards, including Open ROADM, to interwork with almost
every third-party metro and long-haul line system currently deployed. This architecture enables the advanced transmission
capabilities and benefits of the Groove G30 MUX to be added to existing deployments. As a purpose-built WAN transmission
system, the Groove G30 MUX disaggregates the transponder and muxponder functions of the traditional telecom transport
network element that also includes ROADM and optical amplification to enable rapid deployment in any existing network.
