Fiberhome Telecommunications Technologies Ltd., a provider of telecommunications network systems, has selected a large crosspoint switch from Mindspeed Technologies Inc. for use within its next-generation OTN system.

"Fiberhome chose to use the Mindspeed's crosspoint in our OTN system because it solved both our signal-integrity and switching requirements in a highly-integrated device," explains Yang Ming, vice general manager of optical networks products division at Fiberhome. "The Mindspeed crosspoints enable our OTN equipment to deliver superior flexibility, intelligent electronic/optical management, and terabits per second (Tbps)-class switching capabilities."

Mindspeed's crosspoint switches provide the signal integrity and interconnect technology required in OTN and other networking systems. The crosspoint switch's high-density switching capability enables OTN systems to route traffic as required. Further, its integrated signal-conditioning features enable multi-gigabit transmission through the networking equipment.
