G4 NTM — Telescent

The Telescent G4 Network Topology Manager ("G4 NTM)" is the largest capacity, highest optical performing, single mode and multimode configurable, fully Software Defined Network ("SDN") controlled cross connect of future networks.

Automated, software driven management of the physical network topology is essential to achieve efficient and reliable network operations, especially as networks increase in complexity and scale.  The Telescent NTM implements physical layer automation and virtualization through Telescent’s unique KBS algorithms and modular system.  This system is designed for the latest generation of network automation applications in the data center, telecom, mobile and lab networks.

Finally, the full promise of SDN can be realized by fully accessing the physical layer with the Telescent G4 NTM.
