The Polatis Series 3000 family of multimode optical switch trays utilizes the DirectLight beam-steering technology, delivering high performance in a compact, fully non-blocking, multimode product. The Series 3000 multimode switch can form the integral part of a resilient network, for connection management in a business continuity setting or as part of a shipboard communication system. Since there is no regeneration, no signal monitoring and no signal modulation is introduced, the Series 3000 is a secure node for carrying sensitive communications.
