This is what a press release looks like from Supercomm....just in case anyone was curious there is a major trade show going on in Atlanta this week and I think MRV has something to present there???....sheesh (PR NEWSWIRE) Appian is Honored at SUPERCOMM 2000's SUPERQuest Awards for Breaking the Service Management and Bandwidth Bottlenecks Between Business Users and the Metro Network Industry's First Active Optical Services Technology Cited for Soft-Tunable Bandwidth, Lightspeed Service Activation, Customer Self-Provisioning and Comprehensive Service Interworking SuperComm Booth #3323 ATLANTA, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian Communications, innovators of intelligent networking products for the new optical edge of service provider networks, was honored today at the 3rd annual SUPERQuest Awards at the Atlanta SUPERCOMM 2000 Show for its Optical Services Activation Platform(TM) (OSAP(TM)) 4800. Designed for placement in multi-tenant buildings, office parks and dense urban Central Office (CO) locations, the OSAP 4800 is the industry's first carrier-class optical access solution with the active intelligence to deliver soft-tunable bandwidth guarantees, multi-service interworking, and on-demand, end-to-end bandwidth provisioning. The SUPERQuest honors were awarded in recognition of the OSAP's ability to enable service providers to offer such innovative services as customer self- provisioning and virtually infinite incremental tuning of bandwidth capacity. "This is a singularly important recognition from the industry, one that has in the past served as an early indicator of what have become the industry's preeminent and most widely-deployed technologies," noted Appian Founder and CEO Mick Scully. "We look forward to working closely with our growing base of service providers to reshape the metrics and economics of optical access service delivery." The SUPERQuest Awards honor the best built networks and most promising new technologies at SUPERCOMM 2000. Recognition is given to exhibitors and their customers -- whether those customers are public network service providers or enterprise end users -- that have made the most extraordinary achievements in telecommunications worldwide. Appian is conducting its first public demonstrations of the OSAP 4800 at SUPERCOMM 2000, including its software tunable bandwidth guarantees, remote provisioning capability, and unprecedented provider and customer management functionality. Appian's recently announced OSAP 4800 lets providers and users immediately provision bandwidth as needed, enabling users to cost-effectively meet dynamic traffic peaks, launch strategic outsourcing initiatives such as Application Service Provider (ASP) outsourcing, and expand their network services in concert with organizational and market-driven needs. Equally important, Appian's OSAP enables service providers to translate their direct customer access and the core network's rich bandwidth into substantial, competitive new services and profit streams. The OSAP 4800 replaces the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) service delivery bottleneck in the access network with a new level of service deployment called "Etherband." Providing more flexible and scalable bandwidth beyond traditional access technologies, Appian's innovative Etherband architecture leverages the compelling economics and ubiquity of the industry's dominant technologies: Ethernet in the customer premise environment, and SONET and DWDM in the service provider transport network.
