Sycamore optical mesh equipment selected for Jilin Province network
JUNE 17, 2008 -- Sycamore Networks Inc. (search for Sycamore), a provider of intelligent bandwidth management equipment for network operators, has announced that Jilin Netcom, a subsidiary of China Netcom, has selected the company's SN 16000 intelligent optical switch and SILVX network management system (NMS) for a province-wide automatic switched optical network (ASON) deployment. The ASON-based optical mesh solution, provided via the company's global strategic alliance with Nokia Siemens Networks, will enable Jilin Netcom to deliver flexible bandwidth services, simplify end-to-end provisioning, and create a resilient and scalable foundation for a range of value-added voice, video, and data services.
Jilin Province is located in the northeastern region of China and has a population of approximately 27 million. Jilin Netcom's multicity ASON deployment will leverage the SN 16000's embedded ASON/GMPLS control plane intelligence and distributed network awareness for automated provisioning, enhanced end-to-end performance management, and tiered service offerings.
The intelligent optical switch supports diverse applications as well as modularity, network resiliency, and system scalability. Consolidating multiple network functions (BB-DCS, ADM, MSPP, OXC, DWDM) in one highly scalable platform delivers high-density, multiservice aggregation with maximum flexibility and efficiency. Ethernet Packet Intelligence -- intelligent policing and packet-to-circuit mapping -- builds on the efficiency and interoperability enabled by ITU-T standards (VCAT, LCAS, GFP) to achieve improved Ethernet services manageability. Together, modular architecture and intelligent bandwidth management create a more robust, resilient infrastructure that optimizes network and service performance while reducing costs and complexity.
The SILVX software suite offers integrated and scalable solutions for simplifying the end-to-end provisioning and management of high-speed bandwidth services. SILVX network management and design software ensures Sycamore solutions integrate smoothly, and deliver full FCAPS management functions and carrier-class reliability, while optimizing networks for multiservice flexibility and circuit/packet convergence.
