DataComm Magazine:Gigamux hot new product: Repost. Courtesy of kireta on RB site: ------------------------------- DataComm Magazine:Gigamux hot new product: "Adding DWDMs in metropolitan fiber rings cuts bandwidth costs. And now carriers can chop them down even more, thanks to the Gigamux EPC from Osicom Technologies Inc. It's the only dense wavelength-division multiplexer (DWDM) that can split wavelengths into chunks small enough to sell directly to corporate customers. In current metro DWDMs, carriers need expensive Sonet add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) to split wavelengths into channels for transparent LAN services. But Gigamux works without ADMs, so “you start with a 20 percent savings on capital cost,” explains Baksheesh Ghuman, senior product manager at Electric Lightwave Inc. (Vancouver, Wash.), a competitive local exchange carrier planning to test the product. Management costs also come down. And the savings in both areas can be passed on to corporate customers."
