The Sorrento Networks GMTR(-25-09-02) is a protocol-independent optical transport module that multiplexes Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Storage Area Networks simultaneously in native format. Part of the GigaMux family, this card leverages Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology to maximize bandwidth capacity over existing fiber infrastructure while maintaining ultra-low latency performance critical for high-frequency trading and synchronous Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications.
