The ADC KRONE OptEnet™ optical extension platform is a scalable platform capable of handling any network's Ethernet or SONET media transitions. Bridging the gap between legacy copper infrastructures and fibre growth, the OptEnet™ platform provides the most economical evolution path. Integrated intelligence allows the user to remotely monitor system performance and transmit alarm conditions to upstream operational support systems.

The OptEnet™ platform provides the ideal solution for Ethernet extensions in support of transparent LAN services or switch router interconnect requirements. A variety of solutions are supported ranging from 10Mb/s Ethernet, OC-12 and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE).
