Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6500, combines and extends the advantages of the market leading Nortel next-generation SDH/SONET and metropolitan DWDM platforms in a complementary manner. The OME 6500 is a global platform that can be deployed in both SDH and SONET environments supporting a broad mix of services ranging from E-1/ DS-1 private lines through STM-1/4/16/64 and OC-3/12/48/192 private lines and high-speed data connectivity.

• Unconstrained single-stage 80G VC-12/VT-1.5, upgradeable to 160G STS-1/VC-3, flexible and scalable switching matrix to efficiently support multi-service connection grooming and aggregation.
• Ability to handle Layer-0 (photonic), Layer-1 (SDH/SONET) and Layer-2 (packet/Ethernet) service traffic on a common platform for efficient adaptation, switching, aggregation and transport over next-generation SDH/SONET networks.
• Nodal consolidation of access head-end, connection management and metro core transport functionality onto a single platform for dramatic network simplification and service implementation cost reduction.
• Optical interface diversity, versatility and flexibility achieved through carrier-grade pluggable optics and per-port, bit rate selection capability. This allows significantly lower first-in costs and vastly improved shelf utilization to serve multiple customers with varying service needs.
• High-density electrical and optical interfaces based on the latest electro-optical and ASIC technology to improve per-port costs for large volume service delivery scenarios.
