Eastern Daylight Time EDT Eastern Daylight Time EDT n abbr (US) (= Eastern Daylight Time) → hora de verano de Nueva York EDT OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 2001 Tropic Networks, a ground-breaking company developing optical packet networking systems for carriers in metropolitan area networks, today announced that Dr. Dan Oprea, vice president and chief architect, Tropic Networks, will present at The Institute for International Research's (IIR IIR - Infinite Impulse Response ) Fiber Optic Series 2001 event, Integrating IP Routing and Optical Switching Using GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching) In a WDM optical networking system, it is the ability to route a data transmission based on the wavelength of light that carries it. . The conference is scheduled for July 26-27, 2001, and will address how network architects are enabling the more rapid provisioning of IP services over wavelengths. Oprea will deliver a presentation entitled "Developing New Optical Packet Network Architectures To Bring Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) Into The Internet Age". This presentation will focus on several new approaches to MAN design by exploring new architectures and evaluating them in light of critical legacy and future service requirements - particularly the unique demands placed on the network by IP and Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. . Dr. Dan Oprea is the vice president and chief architect for Tropic Networks. Prior to co-founding Tropic Networks, he spent 15 years creating product architectures and development strategies for several leading-edge optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. and high-capacity data routing systems. Oprea's previous role as a senior architect at Nortel Networks involved architecture definition, performance evaluation Performance evaluation The assessment of a manager's results, which involves, first, determining whether the money manager added value by outperforming the established benchmark (performance measurement) and, second, determining how the money manager achieved the calculated return and system integration for several projects, including high-capacity optical transport and terabit switch routing. At Mitel Corporation, Oprea focused on digital system design and digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). . He began his career as a teaching assistant and associate professor at the Technical University of Bucharest History In 1694 Constantin Brâncoveanu, ruler of Wallachia, had founded the Princely Academy of Saint Sava in Bucharest with lectures delivered in Greek. In 1776, Alexander Ypsilantis, ruler of Wallachia, reformed the curriculum of the Saint Sava Academy, where courses of in Romania, where he earned a Master of Science and a PhD in Electrical Engineering. He holds 10 patents in digital communications technology. About IIR's Fiber Optic Series 2001 Event: Integrating IP Routing and Optical Switching Using GMPLS IIR's Fiber Optic Series(TM) 2001: `Integrating IP Routing and Optical Switching Using GMPLS' will take place July 26-27, 2001, at the Doubletree Guest Suites in Boston, MA, and will address how network architects are enabling the more rapid provisioning of IP services over wavelengths. This event will include interactive presentations addressing optical network transport, MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. , and real-world applications.

About Tropic Networks Tropic Networks is a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. focused on delivering optical packet networking (OPN OPN Open OPN Ordering Part Number OPN Ojcowski Park Narodowy (Polish: Ojców National Park) OPN Other Procurement, Navy OPN Open Projects Network (IRC Network) OPN Optical Packet Node ) systems for carriers who demand a greater ability to cost-effectively scale their metropolitan networks to meet the current and future demands of IP traffic. Its unique solution enables carriers to enhance revenue opportunities by extending the life of existing networks and services, while adding compelling new IP, Ethernet and wavelength services. Tropic Networks revolutionizes the cost, availability and flexibility of the carrier's network by providing unmatched levels of scalability and control, and the ability to dynamically tune the network and business case as service portfolios evolve with customer demands. Based in Ottawa, ON, and Andover, MA, Tropic was formed in May 2000 by an experienced core team of optical and networking engineers and executives.
