London, England, November 3 1998 - Cambrian Systems Corporation, a leader in the application of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology to metropolitan area networks, today announced the forthcoming launch of the Company and its OPTeraÔ products into the European marketplace. The event will be taking place in London during the week of November 16th. Carrier network operators, Internet Service Providers and large enterprise network operators are invited to learn about the application of DWDM in the metro network and to view the OPTera product, the first survivable protocol and bit-rate independent metro product.
With telecommunications traffic growing exponentially owing to the explosion of the IP 'Data Wave', even high capacity fibre networks are buckling under the strain in the race for bandwidth. Additionally, the increasing adoption of new protocols (i.e. Gigabit Ethernet), and the use of leading edge data applications in Enterprise networks, is forcing network operators to examine the manner in which services are delivered.
To enable operators and service providers to address these challenges, Cambrian Systems Corporation has developed OPTera, a metropolitan transport system that leverages the power of DWDM technology. This not only dramatically increases the capacity of the existing fibre infrastructure in metropolitan area and city networks, but also offers network operators superior flexibility, scalability and cost savings.
"It is fitting that Cambrian Systems is launching it's industry leading survivable ring based short haul DWDM transmission system, OPTera, in the most competitive telecommunications market in Europe, the UK. OPTera is compliant with global standards and provides survivability for native data protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet, ESCON and FDDI without the need to map to STM-N." said Don Smith, President and CEO of Cambrian Systems Corporation. "The universal interface of OPTera, which accommodates native data interfaces and STM-N, is the key underpinning of our 'Forecast Tolerant NetworksTM' philosophy; taking the uncertainty out of network provisioning and making time to market and new service delivery competitive advantages for both service providers and enterprise customers."
"The DWDM market is exploding and this growth is set to continue as carriers world-wide increase network capacity to prepare to meet the telecommunications demands of the 21st century," said Barry Flannigan, Senior Analyst, Advanced Networks and Services Group, Telecommunications Division, of OVUM. "DWDM has proven to be a cost effective solution for point-to-point applications in long haul, carriers are now realising that this technology can ease network congestion, by growing capacity in a flexible, scalable and cost effective manner in the metro and access networks."
