The Cisco Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) System is the first Packet-Optical Transport System (P-OTS) built on standards-based Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) technology. It unifies both packet and transport technologies, giving service providers a strong foundation for the next generation of transport.

This P-OTS platform supports DWDM, OTN, Ethernet, and MPLS-TP integrated in a single system. And it smoothly interoperates with existing deployed IP MPLS networks.

The Cisco Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) System offers:

• A unique architecture with remote managed satellite units
• A compact, energy-efficient form factor
• Outstanding Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet port density per rack unit
• Integrated A-to-Z management for packet and transport

Business benefits include:

• Agile service delivery, including business, residential, mobile backhaul, data center, and video services
• Support for existing operational models
• "Pay-as-you-grow" scalability
