Norlight Telecommunications, a supplier of wholesale carrier transport solutions and data communications services, announced they have selected Hitachi Telecom as their Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) vendor.

Norlight will deploy Hitachi's Advanced Multiservice Network (AMN) 6100 Ultra-Long Haul DWDM system on their SONET-based network. The new DWDM service will increase Norlight's available bandwidth on their SONET-based fiber optic network allowing them to offer new and enhanced products and services to their customers.

The new DWDM system offers a channel capacity of up to 512 OC-48 channels or 2048 OC-12 channels, dramatically increasing Norlight's current network capacity. This expanded capacity will be offered over Norlight's existing fiber optic network without compromising distance or performance. In addition, the system has unique technologies like Automatic Gain Control and Low Noise Amplifiers.

Hitachi will provide Norlight with its AMN 4100 Transmux system and its Network Element Management System (NEMS). The Transmux system allows bandwidth flexibility of many different data rates at the customer level, and the NEMS system includes Performance Monitoring capabilities that will allow Norlight to view as many as 100 signal characteristics of quality of traffic on the network.
