Meeting the demand of growing access network traffic, Occam Networks adds 10-Gigabit Ethernet optical transport to BLC 6000 system.(NEW PRODUCTS)

Photonics Components & Subsystems, May, 2006

Occam Networks Inc., a supplier of innovative Ethernet- and IP-based loop carrier equipment to telecommunications companies, introduced the BLC 6314 10GigE Transport and Optical Line Termination (OLT) blade for the company's BLC 6000 Broadband Loop Carrier System. The BLC 6314 blade adds dual 10-Gigabit optical Ethernet and multiple 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to the BLC 6000, providing symmetrical bandwidth that enables telcos to create very high capacity access networks with 10-Gigabit Ethernet resilient transport rings at a fraction of the cost of SONET-based OC 192.

There are two primary applications for the BLC 6314: --FTTP OLT: Combined with Occam's BLC 6312 blade, the BLC 6000 becomes a high-capacity FTTP Optical Line Termination system with...
