Copied from the VoIP thread: ''By extending DWDM technology directly into switching and routing equipment, we can eliminate latency by getting rid of several aggregation and format conversion steps.'' Haven't we discussed this issue before. My understanding is that current technology does not permit "extending DWDM ... into switching and routing equipment..." Otherwise there would be no need for current cross-connect equipment. Would this would be the same as an optical cross-connect? Does Osicom have a way of doing this? Comment Please. Ken Osicom Discusses How to Take Complexity Out of Next Generation ATM and IP-centric Networks at IIR Conference DWDN(tm) (Dense Wave Division Networking) - A New Product Line Based On Osicom's Approach Slated For Launch Later This Year SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 1998-- Osicom Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:FIBR - news), today will present, at the Institute for International Research ''Effective Fiber Deployment in the Local and Metropolitan Access Network'' conference, how DWDM technology can be extended to facilitate the deployment of next generation ATM and IP-centric networks. By embedding dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) into high-speed data and telecommunications equipment, Osicom's executive vice president for technology, Ron Mackey, will discuss how raw IP and ATM can be transported directly through pure DWDM. ''Eliminating latency remains a nagging problem for the next generation IP-centric networks,'' said Osicom's Mackey. ''By extending DWDM technology directly into switching and routing equipment, we can eliminate latency by getting rid of several aggregation and format conversion steps.'' The expansion of Osicom's GigaMux family of technology and products will help enable the development of the All Optical Network (AON). Osicom plans to launch its embedded DWDM solution called DWDN(tm) later this year. About GigaMux Osicom's GigaMux line of DWDM products transforms a single fiber from a dedicated, single-application medium into a versatile conduit capable of simultaneously transporting up to 32 independent optical channels. It increases the total bandwidth of a single fiber from 2.5 Gbps to 80 Gbps. GigaMux supports fault tolerant DWDM rings as well as point-to-point network configurations. It is protocol transparent and data rate independent in the entire 51 Mb/s through 2.5 Gb/s range. GigaMux's breakthrough EPC optical and electronic sub-rate multiplexing technology provides 512 sub-channels with direct optical and electrical interfaces to customer premise equipment and carries voice, video and data traffic.
