C-COR Delivers More Bandwidth With Latest Equipment Offering; Expands PLEXiS Product Line With 10 Gigabit LAN/PHY Capability

Posted on: Tuesday, 30 November 2004, 09:00 CST

C-COR Incorporated (NASDAQ:CCBL), a global provider of interoperable network solutions for the IP era that include access and digital transport products, software systems, and technical services, today announced that it is expanding its popular PLEXiS family of transport equipment with the introduction of several 10 Gbps (Gigabit per second) products based on the new LAN/PHY (Local Area Network/Physical Layer) architecture. Enabling increased transport efficiencies and capacity in existing or new 10 Gbps video-on-demand (VoD) networks, the PLEXiS GXX Series of 10 Gigabit products now includes the GXTX-9180 Transmitter, the GXRX-9182 Receiver, and the GXTR-9184 Transceiver.

"The incorporation of LAN/PHY technology into the PLEXiS line ensures the maximum amount of transport capacity is made available, allowing our customers to take full advantage of their 10G architecture," said Sandeep Vohra, Vice President, Business Development, for C-COR's Broadband Communications Products (BCP) business unit. "Through this enhancement, C-COR continues to provide operators with the highest level of efficient, reliable transport."

The new products utilize proven 10 Gbps short-reach XFP pluggable optics for LAN side connection. The WAN (Wide Area Network) side link is provided by ITU-Grid DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optics, which offer link distances exceeding 600 kilometers. Industry leading jitter and latency specifications ensure reliable operation. Extensive monitoring capability for Ethernet statistics is available for each product.

The new LAN/PHY products complement the existing PLEXiS product line and follow C-COR's strategy of providing scalable digital transport solutions with granularity and reliability. In conjunction with existing products, C-COR's PLEXiS line can now offer up to 40 wavelengths per fiber, supporting various line rates including 1, 2, 8, and 10 Gbps of Ethernet traffic per fiber, as well as SONET, QAM, and other protocols.

The new products are fully supported by C-COR's CRYSTAL Network Management System, which provides detailed performance information including link status and capacity utilization. C-COR's PLEXiS suite of products represents the latest technology available for network transport enabling the deployment of highly reliable, cost effective networking solutions for VoD and other converged-services applications.
