Bookham Technology Announces Multi-Million Dollar Supply Contract With Marconi Communications OXFORDSHIRE, England, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Bookham Technology plc (Nasdaq: BKHM - news; LSE: BHM) today announced that it is working with Marconi Communications (LSE: MNI) to supply multi-channel DWDM integrated optical components for use in Marconi's SmartPhotonix range of optical networking products. The ASOC Optical Channel Monitor (OCM) is designed for use in systems operating up to 40 channels. The function of the device is to manage data in the system real time, through monitoring the power carried by each wavelength. The OCM product will play a key role in helping Marconi to develop and produce next generation DWDM optical network solutions, which can be quickly and easily commissioned and reconfigured when in service. ``We chose Bookham Technology for its leading edge technology, which could be quickly customised to suit our unique requirements,'' said Phil Griffin, VP of Photonics Development at Marconi. ``Marconi has a highly-differentiated, innovative solution for network operators,'' noted Giorgio Anania, Senior VP of Sales & Marketing at Bookham Technology. ``We are delighted that we've been able to contribute to this successful product development via our ASOC technology.'' Bookham Technology's ASOC uses well-understood silicon manufacturing processes to produce integrated optical components. Their solid-state nature confers unparalleled reliability, whilst the manufacturing process lends itself to automation and volume production. ASOC also allows the integration of several optical functions on a single device as system architectures progress and the need for miniaturisation increases. Bookham® Technology designs, manufactures and markets optical components which allow communications networks to be constructed efficiently to meet the growing demands of Internet traffic. Using patented silicon-based ASOC® technology, the company's products generate, detect, route and control light signals in the next-generation optical communication networks which are currently being deployed by telcos, ISPs and large enterprises. The company, which is quoted on Nasdaq and the London Stock Exchange, is headquartered in the UK and has offices in the US and Japan.
