PM6010B1-FEI [Microchip]

Built for the cloud and 5G mobile transport era, DIGI-G5 is a Flexible Ethernet (FlexE)-enabled and Ethernet-optimized optical transport network (OTN) processor, offering a total interface bandwidth of up to 1.2 Tbps. Representing five generations of telecom and hyperscale cloud service provider-qualified Microchip's OTN processing innovation, DIGI-G5 delivers dense Ethernet and FlexE client, and “Beyond 100G” (B100G) OTN transport support for cloud‑scale 100G+ packet-optical, OTN switching, DWDM, and data center interconnect (DCI) optical networking applications. DIGI-G5 is complemented by Microchip's third-generation 100G OTN software development kit (SDK) that enables maximum development leverage across multiple line card designs, applications, and equipment platforms, reducing development costs while accelerating time-to-market.

Variants available with OTN encryption (PM6010) and without OTN encryption (PM6011).
