Orckit-Corrigent to supply Carrier Ethernet systems for BSNL broadband network in India

NOVEMBER 1, 2010 -- Orckit Communications Ltd. (NasdaqGM: ORCT) says it has received an additional purchase order for immediate deployment of its CM-4000 products from Alphion Corp. The systems will be deployed for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) through ITI as part of a nationwide broadband triple play network based on GPON and Carrier Ethernet technologies.

Alphion is supplying the GPON equipment.

Orckit-Corrigent CM-4000 CE+T metro aggregation Ethernet switches are based on MPLS and RPR standards and include QoS, OAM, and protection technologies for end-to-end triple play and enterprise VPN services. The system complements broadband and FTTX deployments as it incorporates high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports commonly found in fiber-based broadband services, Orckit-Corrigen asserts.

In August 2010, Orckit-Corrigent announced that its CM-4000 products received a Technical Specification Evaluation Certificate (TSEC) following an evaluation by the BSNL Quality Assurance (QA) organization.
