Innovance Networks Deploys New
Photonic Network
Innovance Networks has successfully completed a field trial of its
AgileCore
solution, the world's first automated, tunable, agile photonic network with a
major North American service provider. The system has been deployed and tested
on a multiple node, intra-city network within the service provider's national
network footprint.
With the completion of this field trial, Innovance Networks demonstrated in
a
real world environment greater than 3,000km reach with eighty channels
operating at 10 gigabits per second over Truewave Classic fiber and the full
functionality of the AgileCore portfolio including photonic switching,
tunability, and automated, software controlled wavelength provisioning.
The Innovance Networks' AgileCore solution replaces today's static
point-to-
point WDM networks with an intelligent, automated, meshed photonic network
offering bandwidth on-demand with higher availability, less complexity and
significantly lower capital and operating costs.
"We are very excited by this opportunity to showcase our next generation
photonic networking solution in the field," said Peter Allen, president &
chief executive officer of Innovance Networks. "This system is the first to
exploit tunability and real-time software control at the photonic layer to
deliver a fully automated, core optical transport network. The AgileCore
solution facilitates a future of high availability, bandwidth on-demand for
high capacity private networks or virtual private networks (VPN) and
represents the next generation for core optical networks."
