Here's what one of their customers says: 360.net “An optical mesh network provides us major competitive advantages,” said Greg Maffei, president and chief executive officer of 360networks. “We can create and provision a variety of broadband services to customers in minutes, versus weeks with a traditional ring network architecture. “We can provide our customers greater choice and flexibility, such as bandwidth on demand, variable protection options, and the ability to self-monitor and self-manage their network traffic.” Maffei added: “In addition, because we can introduce new services more quickly, we will be able to generate new revenue streams more quickly. No other carrier can do this on a global basis.” “The size and scope of 360networks’ global network deployment is yet another proof point for the flexible, scalable power of the intelligent optical network,” said Dan Smith, president and chief executive officer of Sycamore Networks. “We are pleased that 360networks is extending the range and reach of its network with Sycamore’s innovative switching, transport and network management solutions.” 360network’s architecture will include the SN 16000 intelligent optical switch, SN 8000 intelligent optical transport products and SILVX™ optical network management system. At the heart of 360networks’ intelligent optical architecture is Sycamore’s Broadleaf Network Operating System, extending the service range and reach of Sycamore's optical switching platforms. Using a combination of optical routing and signaling protocols, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Multi- Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Broadleaf enables Sycamore’s switches to create and provision quickly optical light paths to deliver high-speed, customized services.
