"With Orckit-Corrigent's CM-4000 portfolio, we can better serve our customers by offering transport-class capabilities in a packet-based network and improve our business case by increasing our network capacity, offering multiservice solutions, and reducing our total cost of ownership. We selected Orckit-Corrigent mainly due to their advanced and cost-effective technology, together with their standard Layer 2 MPLS capabilities that enable interoperability with our existing install base."

"Orckit-Corrigent is pleased to provide MetroNet with our CM-4000 Carrier Ethernet solution," says Izhak Tamir, cofounder, chairman of the board, and president at Orckit-Corrigent. "We are committed to establishing a long-term relationship with MetroNet and the Mexican telecommunications market."
