Business Wire
ADC (NASDAQ:ADCTD)(www.adc.com), a world leader in providing global
network infrastructure solutions, today announced a Joint Marketing
Agreement with Calient Networks, a leading carrier-class photonic
switching systems and software provider. The agreement leverages
expertise from both companies to create new solutions for
fiber-intensive networks. A new product, marketed as the Calient
Automated Fiber Management (AFM) solution, integrates Calient's
DiamondWave(R) optical switch and ADC's fiber distribution frame
technology. Both companies will showcase this solution at SuperComm
in Chicago from June 7-9. Developed jointly by ADC and Calient
engineers, the Calient AFM solution addresses operational issues
experienced in fiber-intensive networks such as central offices,
data centers, and test facilities. Installing, managing, and
maintaining thousands of fiber connections in these facilities can
become time-consuming and error-prone when managed manually. The
Calient AFM solution's scalable, low-loss photonic switching
technology provides software-reconfigurable fiber connectivity,
enabling service providers to remotely manage fiber infrastructure,
configure the network, and localize faults. The result is quicker
service provisioning, more accurate infrastructure records, and
optimized utilization of valuable capital and human resources. The
Calient AFM solution can scale to support 64 to 640 fiber
terminations. "ADC is pleased to partner with Calient to provide
advanced optical distribution frames for fiber-intensive networks,"
said Tom Kampf, director of fiber product management for ADC.
"ADC's technology enables the Calient AFM to accommodate high
density requirements while ensuring fibers are protected and
well-managed for long-term network performance and scalability."
"As new broadband technologies are deployed, the Calient AFM
provides a mechanism to scale, manage and monitor services deployed
across fiber access networks," said Ron Mackey, chief marketing
officer for Calient Networks. "With ADC, Calient has fully
automated the fiber distribution frame and enabled rapid growth,
reliability, and operational efficiency for high-performance
optical networks." The Calient AFM solution featuring ADC's fiber
distribution frame technology is available today. To learn more,
