Viavi Solutions’ Polatis range of optical matrix switches are high-performance, fully non-blocking all-optical matrix switches, available with port counts from 4x4 up to 192x192. Based on Polatis' patented DirectLight optical switching technology that has been proven in the most challenging defense applications and field proven in a wide range of commercial applications by major network equipment manufacturers, the devices are designed to meet the highest performance, security and reliability needs of mission-critical applications with low optical loss, compact size, low power requirements and fast switching speeds.

The Polatis series includes both an optical switch module (OSM), available in single mode versions from 4x4 up to 32x32 and in multimode versions from 4x4 up to 16x16, as well as an optical switch tray (OST), available in single mode versions from 4x4 up to 32x32 and in multi mode versions from 4x4 up to 16x16, with optional internal power monitors and variable attenuators available.

The Polatis series utilizes the patented DirectLight beam-steering technology and optionally features fully integrated power monitors, variable optical attenuation and optical taps. The series’ advanced dynamic web GUI and network management tools reduce costs and improve management. With support of Software-Deﬁned Networks (SDNs) via embedded OpenFlow, NETCONF and RESTCONF control interfaces, the Polatis series interfaces directly with cutting edge cloud-based network and infrastructure testing applications.
