FiberLight selects Fujitsu gear
OCTOBER 30, 2008 -- FiberLight LLC, a provider of metro optical networking, has standardized on optical networking equipment from Fujitsu Network Communications (search for Fujitsu) as the backbone for its LightSource family of managed service offerings.
FiberLight will deploy the Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 7420 managed wavelength platform due to its ability to easily scale as FiberLight's backbone bandwidth needs expand across the company's multi-city networks, according to the two companies. The service provider will also deploy the Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 4100 and FLASHWAVE 4500 multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs) for SONET and Ethernet connectivity between customer sites. Management support for FiberLight's network is being provided by two fully redundant network operations centers (NOCs) located at Fujitsu locations in Sunnyvale, CA and Richardson, TX.
"Our customers demand 99.999 % reliability for the services we provide, so it was critically important that we choose a supplier with the same commitment to high-quality products and services," said Michael Miller, president and CEO of FiberLight. "We chose Fujitsu because of the company's longstanding reputation for quality products and services, its highly flexible metro optical transport product line, and for its Network Operations Center, which allows us to augment our network operations staff with optical networking experts who are at our disposal 24 hours a day."
FiberLight has deployed its dense core metro fiber infrastructure in 14 metropolitan markets across the U.S. The company is leveraging this embedded network to become a supplier of premium managed services, which are optimized to provide carriers, government entities, content service providers, web-centric businesses, and enterprise customers with a wide variety of wavelength, metro Ethernet, and SONET connectivity options.
