CORPORATE NEWS:
To evolve next-generation SONET network
Lucent Technologies, USA, recently announced that Verizon has chosen Lucent as one of several providers of advanced optical technology to help evolve Verizon's next-generation SONET network. Lucent will provide Verizon with optical networking systems designed to dramatically increase the capacity of Verizon's network and make it possible to offer a wide variety of high-speed services to its customers. Under the three-year agreement, Verizon will deploy the Lucent Metropolis® DMX portfolio of metro optical networking products, and the LambdaUnite® MSS, a multi-service switch that will manage traffic from many metro access networks.
Metropolis® DMX is an integrated SONET/Ethernet metro access multiplexer that, working together with LambdaUnite® MSS, will enable Verizon to cost-effectively meet its current metro-area access needs while providing a solid foundation to accommodate future bandwidth and service growth. It enables service providers to use their existing optical equipment while cost-effectively migrating from existing TDM (time-division multiplexed) networks to data-aware packet networks. The LambdaUnite® MSS provides high-capacity switching, multi-functionality, high-density and flexibility into one small piece of equipment. Its standards-compliant technology will enable Verizon to seamlessly integrate existing backbone and metro optical networks. It provides a bridge between data-intense metro networks and high-speed optical core networks, connecting cities, campuses and corporate networks to larger, long-haul public networks.
