Softbank Telecom Selects MRV's Optical Multi-Service Platform

Posted on: Friday, 30 May 2008, 12:00 CDT

MRV Communications has announced that Japanese telecommunications service provider Softbank Telecom has chosen its Fiber Driver optical multi-service platform as the basis for its Japan-wide ATM access network and has completed the deployment across the country.

According to MRV Communications, Softbank Telecom built the Fiber Driver network using bi-directional single fiber capability that allowed the company to reduce its fiber needs overall and reduce its operating expenditures from the beginning of the project.

The network includes more than several thousand Fiber Driver demarcation devices, and leverages the system's link monitoring capabilities coupled with its Operations, Administration and Maintenance management framework for service level assurance.

Noam Lotan, president and CEO of MRV Communications, said: "Softbank Telecom Corp's implementation of our Fiber Driver optical multi-service platform and bi-directional single fiber connections demonstrates the demand among carriers to have an easily manageable platform that gives the company the ability to dynamically offer new services to its subscribers."
