MAITLAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 1997--Pirelli Cables and Systems has contracted with ISR Global Telecom to create a new ISR Orbit based TMN Element Manager for Pirelli's latest 32 channel wave division multiplexer (WDM).
A previous version of Pirelli's wave division multiplexor was demonstrated earlier this year at Supercomm 97' utilizing a Q3 TMN Element Manager developed utilizing ISR's Orbit TMN toolkit.
Dr. Giorgio Grasso, Pirelli's manager of Photonics Systems Research and Development stated: "ISR Global Telecom was selected to develop the Element Manager for our wave division multiplexor technology because we needed a partner which could deliver the highest quality project results quickly and within budget, to match the worldwide roll-out of our new 32 channel product. Part of our selection was also based on ISR's TMN toolkit, Orbit. The use of Orbit for this development along with ISR's successful track record at delivering complex projects on-time and on-budget, convinced Pirelli to select ISR as our partner."
Steve Barnhart, ISR's vice president of marketing, sales and customer service said: "The confidence that Pirelli placed with our company is a serious commitment and one which ISR takes most seriously. We are pleased that we will be able to bring to bear the immense telecom talent of ISR along with our solution knowledge and Orbit, our TMN toolkit, to deliver this project to Pirelli. Pirelli is a leader in the WDM market and its selection of ISR is recognition of our ability to develop complex TMN software projects to meet the demanding requirements of Pirelli and their customers. Working with Pirelli also enables our recently formed division, ISR Europe, to jump start the European market with a significant new client that has worldwide recognition."
