Digital Lightwave Announces 10 Gigabit Ethernet Support on NextGen Multi-Rate Module; NGMR Module Now Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, SDH, and OTN
Posted on: Tuesday, 22 August 2006, 09:00 CDT
Digital Lightwave(R), Inc. (OTCBB:DIGL), a leading provider of optical networking test equipment and technology, today announced support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet on the same Next Generation Multi-Rate (NGMR) module that also provides Next Generation SONET/SDH features. This module is available on all NIC(R) Platform products and enables single-module telecom/datacom testing.
The NGMR supports 10GigE LAN (10.3Gbps), 10GigE WAN (9.953Gbps) and 10G FEC (11.049/11.095Gbps) in addition to SONET/SDH from 51Mbps to 10Gbps, and the OTN rates of OTU-1 (2.66Gbps) and OTU-2 (10.7Gbps).
Additionally, the NGMR is designed for application in today's most advanced NextGen networks, supporting VCAT (Virtual Concatenation), LCAS (Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme), and GFP (Generic Framing Procedure).
"We are now able to give customers something they've never had before," says Mike Botham, Director of Engineering for Digital Lightwave. "The NGMR combines the telecom/datacom testing features that our customers use most often, into a one-board solution. That makes the NIC a more cost-effective platform than its competitors and enables customers to carry a smaller, lighter product that can still perform all their most advanced testing."
The 10GigE test options on the NGMR may be combined with the High-Density Ethernet module equipped with 10GigE to provide two 10GigE ports, four GigE optical ports, and eight 10/100/1000BaseT ports. All ports operate independently and simultaneously. This configuration provides a powerful and flexible, yet cost effective, platform for testing converged telecom/datacom networks.
The Digital Lightwave Ethernet solutions, including 10GigE on NGMR module, will be on display at Ethernet Expo, New York City, Oct. 23-25.
