The ION Platform is an intelligent high-density multi-protocol system supporting a variety of network interface devices. Designed for both carrier class and enterprise network applications where multiple points of fiber integration and secure network management of the fiber interface devices is essential.

The ION 19-slot chassis can support up to two power supply modules which mount in the rear of the chassis. A single power supply can be used to power all the devices installed in the chassis; however the system can be made redundant with the use of a second power supply. In this configuration the power supplies operate in an instant-fail-over mode and can be installed in either an AC or DC powered chassis.
