Navigator Multi-layer Controller

Coordinated multi-layer operations

Network architectures are evolving to meet ever-growing performance, scalability, and sustainability requirements. IP and optical networks are converging. Network operations teams need a simpler and quicker way to coordinate workflows across multi-layer, multi-vendor infrastructure to navigate the journey. Navigator Multi-layer Controller (Navigator MC) provides the needed comprehensive network visibility and software control, eliminating manual handoffs between multiple systems. Coordinated lifecycle network operations within a single software system. That’s efficiency.

Navigator Multi-layer Controller benefits


Clear visualization

Gain a full view of your entire network and overlay services across multi-vendor optical, Ethernet, and IP infrastructure, enabling you to simplify and accelerate end-to-end planning, commissioning, provisioning, troubleshooting, and assurance workflows. This means you get the job done quicker and customers are happier.

Next-gen platform

Leverage Navigator MC’s modern containerized, microservices-based architecture to achieve high availability, horizontal scalability, and modular extensibility. Your controller is there for you whenever you need it.

Open APIs

Interface easily with southbound multi-vendor controllers or devices via Navigator MC’s open APIs and public data models. Integrate northbound to operational support systems (OSS), allowing for workflow automation and even greater operational efficiencies.
