Fiber Optics Business, Jan 15, 2002

Cisco Systems announced that Metromedia Fiber Network (MFN) will support the Cisco ONS 15540 Extended Services Platform as part of its WaveChannel Optical Network, MFN's DWDM-based managed network services solution. MFN qualified the Cisco ONS 15540 after successfully completing extensive tests involving a number of DWDM features and applications.

MFN will add the Cisco ONS 15540 to the equipment options offered through its WaveChannel product. This will allow customers using MFN's substantial metro area fiber to use the Cisco ONS 15540 to create fully-managed, high-speed, protocol-transparent, and secure optical networks, customized to meet their specific needs and requirements. Customers can then rapidly provision network capacity to deploy high-bandwidth applications such as storage area networking, data mirroring, disaster recovery, distance learning, and high-resolution video networking.
