Nokia 1830 PSS-24X: High-Capacity Optical Transport Platform for Metro & Long-Haul Networks

Nokia 1830 PSS-24X: High-Capacity Optical Transport Platform for Metro & Long-Haul Networks

The Nokia 1830 PSS-24X is a high-density, scalable packet optical transport platform within the Nokia Photonic Service Switch (PSS) portfolio, designed to meet the growing bandwidth demands of modern telecom networks. Built for metro aggregation, regional backbone, long-haul transmission and data center interconnect (DCI), the 1830 PSS-24X delivers flexible DWDM transport, coherent optical transmission and integrated packet switching capabilities for service providers and system integrators.

Platform Overview

The 1830 PSS-24X is a highly modular chassis system that accommodates a wide mix of line cards, optical amplifier modules, ROADM units, power supplies and fan trays. Its design allows operators to scale capacity gradually without full chassis replacement. It supports coherent DWDM, OTN switching, and multi-rate optical services, making it suitable for both new network builds and legacy transport network upgrades.

Core Use Cases

• Metro DWDM aggregation and regional backbone optical transmission
• Data Center Interconnect (DCI) for high-speed inter-site connectivity
• 5G/FTTH backhaul and midhaul transport
• Enterprise private line and wavelength service delivery
• Legacy SDH/SONET network migration to modern coherent DWDM

Key Hardware Components & Spare Parts

A fully configured 1830 PSS-24X chassis consists of multiple hot-swappable modules, which are commonly required as spare parts for maintenance and repair. These include coherent line cards, ROADM modules, optical amplifiers, power supply units, fan trays and control switch modules. All modules are hot-swappable, enabling in-service replacement to minimize network downtime.

Hardware revision and firmware compatibility are critical for stable operation. Different board revisions may require specific software releases, so verification before procurement is strongly recommended.
