ADVISORY/Foundry Networks and Applied Innovation Demonstrate Optical Gigabit Ethernet Solution for Metropolitan Area Ethernet Network.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY... for Tuesday Tuesday: see week. (May 8) --(BUSINESS WIRE) WHAT: Foundry Networks(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:FDRY), a performance and total solutions leader for end-to-end switching and routing, and Applied Innovation Inc. (Nasdaq:AINN), an industry leader in telecommunications network management solutions and a gigabit Ethernet transport solution provider, will be demonstrating an innovative solution to deliver Optical Broadband Gigabit Ethernet services to the Metropolitan Area Networks. HOW: Foundry's BigIron(R) Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. switch provides a non-blocking switching architecture, modular wire-speed IP routing, scalability, and reliability. Based on Foundry's proven IronCore(TM) architecture and IronWare(TM) Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the scale routing platform, the BigIron delivers up to 178,000,000 packets per second routing performance for reliable packet delivery. Foundry's feature-rich IronWare software suite enables Metro service providers to offer a broad range of services that can generate additional revenue. Applied Innovation's LuxConnect provides a solution for last mile Gigabit Ethernet services from the Metropolitan Optical Ring to corporate campuses, office parks, and MDU/MTU environments. The LuxConnect technology enables service providers to economically multiplex See multiplexing. eight Gigabit Ethernet channels from a Foundry A semiconductor manufacturer that makes chips for third parties. It may be a large chip maker that sells its excess manufacturing capacity or one that makes chips exclusively for other companies. switch onto a single fiber pair utilizing a single wavelength with carrier grade quality and reliability. The architecture of the system allows Metro service providers to take advantage of the cost-effective cost-effective, n the minimal expenditure of dollars, time, and other elements necessary to achieve the health care result deemed necessary and appropriate. , high-performance Gigabit Ethernet technology.
