Huawei OptiX PTN960

Product Overview​

The Huawei OptiX PTN960 stands as a versatile, energy-efficient workhorse in Huawei’s PTN portfolio, engineered for mobile access and aggregation layers. With its compact 2U form factor and flexible deployment options (indoor/outdoor), it seamlessly integrates into base stations or cabinet sites, delivering carrier-grade reliability for 2G/3G/4G/LTE and emerging 5G fronthaul networks. Its modular design supports hybrid TDM/Ethernet services, while PWE3 and MPLS-TP technologies ensure deterministic low-latency transport—ideal for operators prioritizing scalability without compromising OPEX.

​Detailed Specifications & Comparison​

Note: PTN960 excels in space-constrained sites with its 2U height and -48V DC/220V AC dual-power support, while PTN990 targets high-traffic core nodes.

​Procurement Guidance​

• ​Choose PTN960 if you need:​​
  • ​Cost-efficient access-layer scaling​ for cell sites or remote aggregation.
  • ​Hybrid TDM-to-packet migration​ (E1, STM-1, FE/GE) without hardware swaps.
  • ​Future-proofing for 5G microcells​ via 10GE readiness and syncE/1588v2 timing.
• ​Upgrade to PTN970/980 when:​​
  • Aggregation traffic exceeds 50Gbps, or 10GE port density is critical.
  • Redundant control planes (PTN980) are mandated for core nodes.
• ​PTN990 fits:​​
  • Hyper-scale data center interconnects (DCI) or IP RAN core with 400G+ demands.

​Why PTN960? The Strategic Edge​

Imagine slashing deployment costs by 30% while handling 56G of mixed traffic in a pizza-box footprint. That’s PTN960:

• ​Deploy anywhere​ – Mount it beside base stations (-40°C to +65°C tolerance) or stack it in crowded central offices.
• ​One platform for all legacy-to-IP transitions​ – From legacy E1 backhaul to 10GE uplinks, it bridges generations without forklift upgrades.
• ​Carrier DNA, zero compromise​ – Hitless 1+1 power redundancy, sub-50ms failover, and adaptive QoS keep SLAs rock-solid.

​In a nutshell:​​ The PTN960 isn’t just a “box.” It’s your silent partner in building a leaner, smarter network—where every watt, rack unit, and gigabit counts. Ready to future-proof your edge? PTN960 delivers. Now.
