Optical networks play an increasingly important role in the transmission of information in modern telecommunication arena. Therefore to pursue this trend in Iran, ICT research Institute is initiating the development of three prototypes of  STM-16 optical multiplexer systems for multiplexing four STM-4  level optical signal with the following features:

• Ability to monitor SSM (Synchronous Statues Message) signals in the synchronization section
•  Utilizing some algorithms to prioritize input signals
• Providing multiplex section protection (MSP) mechanism
•  Design based on a management software architecture  that supports the following  functionalities:
  
  • Failure-management functions, management configuration, performance management & security management

The proposed STM project comprises three phases which will begin following completion of the feasibility study:

• Multiplexing of four STM-4 optical input signals into one STM-16 optical signal & De-multiplexing on the reverse side

•  Customizing our prototype design to comply with the (ITU-T) standards and to fulfill requirements for national optical-based transmission network , then passing the know-how and experience down to domestic manufacturers

•   Building on the knowledge and expertise, moving to the next step of developing  world class STM-16 products aimed for the overseas market

This project sets up a laboratory for testing high-capacity optical transmission network equipment and devices at up to 100Gbps rate. The facility will be responsible for checking performance as well as for verifying adherence of their specifications to the global ITU-T standard. The main features of this assignment are:

• Type approval lab must be equipped with the state-of-the-art tools and high-speed optical measurement instrumentation in order to be able to carry out its duties
• The quality of testing procedure must be continually improving and becoming more stringent
• High quality documentation must be created for all types of approval testing and verifications
• Establishment of testing laboratories and quality approval system based on ISO 17025 standards

Within this scope, following features can be taken into account:

• SDH & NG-SDH optical transport systems & networks up                                                        to 40Gbps

• OTN systems of the OTU1 to OTU4
• Ethernet conversion to PDH & SDH systems & vice versa, leading to 100GE & OTU-4

The aim is to establish a type approval facility to carry out verification tests on all submitted sample optical access systems and products in order to verify compatibility with global ITU-T standards. The testing procedure involves equipment performance checks and design specification measurements as well as field checks of sample systems, network, etc. to establish compliance with the relevant ITU-T protocols.

The project also calls for the procurement of the highest quality instrumentation, including measurement tools, evaluation and calibration equipment, etc., as well as for provision of comprehensivedocumentation on set up & test procedure
