Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. to Demonstrate Its New SODA Router Module at NFOEC in Baltimore, Maryland.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 5, 2001 Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq:AFOP AFOP Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. AFOP Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs AFOP Association Française des industries de l'Optique et de la Photonique AFOP and for other purposes AFOP acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia ), a leading supplier of fiber optic components and integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today announced that it plans to demonstrate its new SODA Router Module at the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference which will take place July 8-12, 2001 at the Baltimore Convention Center The Baltimore Convention Center is a convention and exhibition hall located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. It is managed and operated by the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association, a semi-private association started in 1980 by former Baltimore mayor William Donald , Baltimore, Md. AFOP has been assigned Booth no. 5842. The AFOP SODA (switchable optical drop/add) Router is enabling technology for dynamic wavelength management applications. The SODA Router integrates optical switching and DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing filtering functionalities to allow programmable wavelength routing and wavelength drop/add functionality with significantly reduced insertion loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. found in alternative approaches. The new SODA Router's scalable design is based on AFOP's patent-pending technology SODA building blocks. By routing wavelengths between two fibers and at the same time dropping or adding additional wavelengths the SODA Router can enhance system design flexibility while increasing the efficiency of system architecture and performance options. About AFOP Founded in 1995, Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of high performance fiber optic components and integrated modules.
