MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Naval Research Laboratory partner with Ciena to upgrade BoSSNET to 40G DWDM.(CONTRACTS)

Fiber Optics and Communications, January, 2007

Ciena Corporation announced that it is partnering with MIT Lincoln Laboratory and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to upgrade the Boston South Network (BoSSNET)--an applications and network test bed for researching high-bandwidth (10s of Gbps per wavelength), long-reach (approx. 1,000km) all-optical transmissions--using the company's standards-based, all-optical DWDM technology.

Designed and managed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory in its role as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center for the US Department of Defense, BoSSNET is the research network for the lab's Advanced Networks Group, which architects, designs, and builds prototypes of next-generation optical, wireless, and satellite communication networks to address critical problems of national...
