Veloce Interfaces - Virtual OTN

The Virtual Optical Transport Network (OTN) solution provides verification and analysis capabilities of OTN frames, generation capabilities of OTN frames with different client signal types and multiplexing hierarchies.

Why Veloce Virtual OTN?

PCI Express and related protocols, such as Compute Express Link (CXL), dominate the needs for interconnect usage in system-level design. According to research announced at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference in 2023, the total available market for PCI Express technologies across markets such as datacenters, edge, communications, AI, automotive, storage and mobile devices will reach $10 Billion by 2027.

To meet the needs of electronic engineers verifying designs in these markets, Siemens have developed protocol solutions for PCI Express and CXL that provide pre-and-post silicon verification capabilities for Hardware Emulation and Prototyping needs. These Veloce solutions are delivering high-speed verification solutions that allow companies to meet their time-to-market needs for complex designs across multiple domains.

Additionally, for on-chip needs, a portfolio of AMBA-based verification solutions deliver an efficient environment for verifying Systems-on-Chip (SOC) that contain AMBA fabric.
