PalC Networks specializes in the development of software for packet optical networks, particularly in the area of DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and coherent optics-enabled Whitebox switches. The company has extensive experience in creating software stacks for analog coherent optics (ACO) and digital coherent optics (DCO) Whitebox switches. PalC Networks has worked on integrating IP Infusion’s control plane stack with the OpenTAI (Transponder Abstraction Interface) and ONOS controller to create a fully integrated packet optical network product. This capability allows PalC Networks to offer its customers a comprehensive solution that integrates the control plane and data plane for the packet optical network. With its in-depth expertise and experience, PalC Networks is well-positioned to support the development of next-generation packet optical networks that can support the growing demands
