Abstract
A transport apparatus includes: a client signal transceiving unit which transceives a client signal; a line signal transceiving unit which performs electric-optic conversion on a line signal to be transmitted, transmits an optical line signal, performs optic-electric conversion on a received line signal, and outputs an electrical line signal; and a plurality of signal processing units which perform signal processing on the client signal to generate the line signal to be transmitted and perform signal processing on the electrical line signal to generate the client signal. Each of the plurality of signal processing units includes a signal transceiving unit which performs transfer of a branched signal obtained by branching a signal to be transmitted and a merged signal obtained by merging received signals with another signal processing unit, and the signal transceiving unit of each of the plurality of signal processing units and the signal transceiving unit of the other signal processing unit are coupled via an inter-chip wiring.
