Jiangsu Telecom deploys Lynx-Putian's LightLEADER protection systems

SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 -- Nanjing Putian, a major vendor to the Chinese telecommunications industry, and Lynx Photonic Networks (search Lynx Photonic Networks), provider of network-availability and business-continuity equipment, today announced the deployment of their co-branded LightLEADER protection systems at Jiangsu Telecom.

The Lynx protection systems will provide Jiangsu Telecom with guaranteed protection of its critical DWDM backbone within less then 10 milliseconds of a link failure.

"Our backbone carries critical communication traffic and cannot tolerate any failures," explains Cao Shun Xiang, deputy director of Jiangsu Telecom. "We have been looking for protection systems that will provide the high level of network availability that our customers deserve. Lynx-Putian's LightLEADER systems, we believe, will meet these stringent requirements, and we anticipate great improvement in our service quality."

"Our sale to Jiangsu Telecom marks a major milestone in our penetration of the Chinese marketplace," adds Abe Queller, Lynx vice president. "This contract illustrates the increasing demand for optical protection-switching systems and the strengthening of Lynx's market leadership in this field."

Lynx is marketing its network-availability products in China through Nanjing Putian. Commenting on the partnership, Yuan Yong, Nanjing Putian vice president, notes, "The cooperation between our two companies combines the high-level technology and sophistication offered by Lynx with our own expertise in outstanding pre- and post-sales services. We are confident this relationship will continue to strengthen Nanjing Putian's leadership in the photonic network equipment market."
