White Rock Networks introduces SONET multiplexer

May 18, 2001
May 18, 2001--White Rock Networks has developed a small, smart OC-192 Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) add/drop multiplexer (ADM) that allows carriers to cost-effectively and efficiently deploy enhanced services.

White Rock Networks has developed a small, smart OC-192 Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) add/drop multiplexer (ADM) that allows carriers to cost-effectively and efficiently deploy enhanced services.

The VLX2020 is the fourth member of White Rock's family of modular, scalable, and stackable "building-block" optical networking products. The VLX2020's reduced footprint helps trim the costs carriers now pay to lease space in central offices, while its power consumption reduces carriers' energy expenses. The system allows carriers to support a wide range of services from OC-48 to DS3.

The new White Rock multiplexer maintains fully protected, carrier-class functionality, including Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) Level 3 compliance. Requiring only two rack units of space, the new VLX2020 stands 3.5 inches tall.

White Rock's low-cost, low-power, easy-to-implement building blocks allows carriers to offer enhanced services to customers, without modifying existing network architectures or management systems. Carriers add only the White Rock building blocks that provide the capabilities they need for a specific application or customer. White Rocks' standards-based control plane gives carriers end-to-end circuit provisioning in seconds instead of hours/days/weeks, and with a minimum of labor.

White Rock will be exhibiting June 5-7, 2001 at SUPERCOMM 2001 in Atlanta (Booth No. 474D in the Georgia Dome).
