ANTEC to distribute Chromatis Networks' optical transport products. MAY 2, 2000, M2 Communications - ANTEC Corp and Chromatis Networks Inc have signed a three-year, multi-million dollar (USD) agreement under which ANTEC becomes the exclusive provider of Chromatis' Metropolis family of optical transport systems to cable service providers throughout North America. As part of the alliance ANTEC plans to make an equity investment in Chromatis. The two companies will also work together to develop advanced cable applications for the Metropolis line, such as integrated video, cable telephony and IP/data networks, and they will set up a multi-service integration lab at ANTEC's headquarters in Georgia, US. Editorial: This is actually a bigger deal than appears on the surface. It marks the Digital Systems group's entrance into the transport business and does not have locked in margins. Cable MSOs have been screaming for a system of this type to integrate their various multiple overlaid networks, and the Chromatis system can do just that. This is big, folks. It competes with the likes of Cerent.
