The Coriant HiT 7080 is a next-generation, carrier-class multi-service transport platform within the HiT 70xx series that integrates SDH, Ethernet switching, ATM, OTN, WDM, and ASON/GMPLS functionalities into a single compact chassis. Sharing hardware and software commonality with the widely deployed HiT 7080, the HiT 7080 simplifies operations, reduces deployment costs, and accelerates service delivery through streamlined service integration.
This flexible platform offers comprehensive SDH grooming, integrated packet switching, and Carrier Ethernet features for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations. It is particularly well-suited for service providers migrating from traditional SDH/MSPP networks toward resilient, packet-based transport for applications like mobile backhaul, Triple-Play, and business services. Scalable and compact, the HiT 7080 supports services up to 10 Gbps and optional WDM integration, making it ideal for both metro and core aggregation deployments.
At Carritech, we offer complete support for the Coriant HiT 7080 family—including the HC variant—for global deployments. Our inventory of fully tested systems, spare cards, and modules enables network operators to maintain, repair, or extend HiT 7080 infrastructure efficiently. With expert technical support and fast delivery options, we help preserve legacy network investments while supporting gradual transitions to next-generation transport architectures.

| Time Period | Brand / Company | Role / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Early 2010s – 2013 | Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) | Developed as a high-capacity, carrier-grade optical transport platform, the HIT 7080 targeted core and metro aggregation layers with advanced WDM and packet capabilities. |
| 2013 – 2018 | Coriant | Inherited as part of Coriant’s acquisition of NSN’s optical networking business; continued to be positioned for large-scale backbone and metro core networks. |
| 2018 – Early 2020s | Infinera | Post-acquisition, Infinera offered limited support for the HIT 7080, transitioning customers to its newer optical and packet transport solutions. |
| Present (Secondary Market) | Independent Resellers & Support Specialists (e.g., Carritech) | Carritech provides spare parts, refurbished HIT 7080 equipment, and technical support to maintain existing deployments and extend system lifespan. |
