August 2, 2006 Golden Valley, MN -- Telecom Engineering, Inc. has been awarded the supply, engineering, installation, provisioning, and ongoing 24x7 technical support contract for a multi node CWDM network for Central Transport Group, LLC in Minnesota.

The network will use MRV Communications' Fiber Driver transponder products and TIP 8 channel CWDM multiplexers capable of 10 Gbit/sec OC-192 rates over 100-km single- or dual-fiber strands. The equipment is fully interoperable with all existing network equipment and will greatly expand the network's current capacity without requiring fiber cable builds.

Features of the new network include full protocol and data rate transparency, optical or copper client-side interfaces from 100 Mbits/sec to 10 Gbits/sec, accommodation of alien wavelengths, expandable fiber backbone to 80 Gbits/sec, ring topology for traffic protection, Gigabit Ethernet multiplexing, IP switching, support of IPTV and VoIP services, user-friendly network management and remote access GUI, and easy expansion using pluggable modules such as SFP, XFP, GBIC, and Xenpak.
