ZEUSDWDM Access and DemultiplexingHyperscale, multi-terabit intercept

with 100% packet delivery from Long

Haul, Core, Metro and Data Centre.

Optical transport networks are complex.

Lumacron's Zeus series instrumentation systems are

purpose-built to navigate this ecosystem. Modular

hardware for dense wavelength division multiplexing

(DWDM) access, coherent signal demodulation, multi-

service protocol conversion, data storage and playback

are integrated seamlessly behind an intuitive user

interface, to automate targeting and delivery of traffic

for analytics, monitoring and SIGINT applications.

Efficient, unified instrumentation.

Replace unwieldy multi-vendor COTS solutions and

proprietary software with highly optimised intercept

hardware build around open interfaces. Empower your

mission with hyperscale, multi-terabit throughput and

100% packet delivery from Long Haul, Core, Metro and

Data Centre networks.

Fully featured open-line optical interfaces for DWDM

intercept, via Lumacron’s Helios subsystem. Optical

power monitoring and automated optical channel

discovery. Variable gain EDFA. Scalable wavelength

selective switch (WSS) for full-duplex parallel

monitoring on up to 96 C-band wavelengths per fibre

pair. Dedicated transmit ports for backhaul.

Coherent Signal Demodulation

The Kairos subsystem provides flexible coherent

transponder interfaces for 100G, 200G and 400G to

convert from high-order modulation schemes (DP-

QPSK, 16-QAM, 8QAM) to standard NRZ for

downstream processing. Carrier-card compatibility

with CFP2-DCO, CFP-DCO and non-MSA form factors,

with support for proprietary framing and non-standard

Protocol ConversionBest-in-class protocol conversion hardware via

Lumacron’s Draco, Chronos and Aries platforms.

Industry leading port density married to lightning fast

protocol auto-discovery and packet stream targeting.

Full signal hierarchy enumeration for OTN, SONET/SDH

and Ethernet networks. In-field upgrades to track the

latest standards (OTUC4, OTUC2, 400GbE), with a

comprehensive back-catalogue for legacy protocol

support down to DS0.

Multi-terabit Throughput

High density, 32-port QSFP28 100GbE switch for

integrated system interconnect. Flexible L2/L3

forwarding at 3.2Tbps full-duplex in 1RU, facilitates high

efficiency stream forwarding with zero packet loss.

Configurable egress interfaces. 100GbE, or load-

balanced to Nx25G/10G streams for legacy NIC

connectivity.

Flow-Aware L4-7 SwitchingP4-enabled, flow-aware switch. Dynamical ly

configurable L4-7 filtering and stateful processing at

wire-speed. Forward, drop, aggregate and de-duplicate

packet traffic on a per-flow basis. Flow coherent load

balancing from N x 100G to M x 25G/10G. Per-flow

state and meta-data extraction, with support for

Netflow, IPFix and customised record formats.

Recording and PlaybackIndustry-leading solid-state recording and playback

capability via the Perseus platform. Capture up to 26

minutes of sustained 100Gbps data from the line in

1RU, or combine with stream targeting user-interface to

select streams of interest for storage. Removable disk

cartridges for offline analysis. Real time playback with

cycle-accurate packet timing. Dedicated fiber-channel

download interface and PCAP support.Instrumenting Optical Networks
