Atoga's OAR 30 Wins SUPERQuest Award for Most Promising New Optical-Networking Technology.Business Editors/High Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2001 ATLANTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2001 Atoga Systems, Inc., the industry's first provider of intelligent wavelength division multiplexing See WDM. (communications) wavelength division multiplexing - (WDM) Multiplexing several Optical Carrier n signals on a single optical fibre by using different wavelengths (colours) of laser light to carry different signals. (WDM (1) (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) A technology that uses multiple lasers and transmits several wavelengths of light (lambdas) simultaneously over a single optical fiber. ) solutions using tunable lasers, today announced that its Optical Application Router 30 (OAR 30) has won the SUPERQuest Award for Most Promising New Technology in the category of public-network, optical-networking equipment. Sponsored by SUPERCOMM and CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine. (1) (CMP Media LLC, Manhasset, NY, www.cmp.com) Part of United Business Media, CMP is a leading integrated media company that offers a wide variety of publications and services in the information Media's tele.com magazine, in cooperation with Network Magazine, the SUPERQuest Awards are designed to recognize the year's best built networks and most promising new technologies, and to honor the key products and technologies launched at SUPERCOMM. SUPERQuest winners were announced during a ceremony June 5 at SUPERCOMM. "The SUPERQuest Award is tremendous affirmation for our company, and we are very thankful for the judges' recognition of the OAR 30 as a solution poised to truly alter the competitive landscape," said Cuneyt Ozveren, chief executive officer with Atoga Systems. "We believe that the OAR 30 is the first carrier-class switching platform to deliver the combination of service and transport capabilities that carriers need to simultaneously protect existing revenue streams and exploit new opportunities, such as offering bandwidth-trading services and serving bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing See videoconferencing. (communications) video conferencing - A discussion between two or more groups of people who are in different places but can see and hear each other using electronic communications. and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. (Enterprise Resource Planning See ERP. (application, business) Enterprise Resource Planning - (ERP) Any software system designed to support and automate the business processes of medium and large businesses. )." Atoga Systems is showcasing its solutions in Booth 2858, Hall C, through Thursday. "The fourth annual SUPERQuest awards proved to be the most successful yet, both in terms of the number of entries and their quality," said John Salak, editor-in-chief, tele.com. "All this made the judging harder than ever, but we're happy with our choices. They reflect that this industry, despite its current troubles, is headed in the right direction." The OAR 30 is a highly scalable, metro-core switching platform with enhanced wavelength-grooming capabilities. Through integration of Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP), Synchronous Optical Network (networking) Synchronous Optical NETwork - (SONET) A broadband networking standard based on point-to-point optical fibre networks. SONET will provide a high-bandwidth "pipe" to support ATM-based services. (SONET) and WDM layers, the Atoga solution frees carriers to introduce new, higher-margin IP services without jeopardizing revenues derived from legacy Time Division Multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ) offerings. The OAR 30, based on Atoga's FastApp(TM) architecture, delivers 30 Gbps of grooming capacity and creates a dynamically configurable network using tunable lasers. Advanced traffic-engineering technologies provide a simple Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic-prioritization mechanism that eliminates over-provisioning inefficiencies in carrier networks, and the solution's support for end-to-end policy management cuts carrier capital and operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales . The OAR 30's multi-level protection at the transport and Dense WDM (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 ) layers ensures carrier-class network reliability and performance. "The sheer number of SUPERQuest Awards entries this year -- more than 250 -- reflect the strength and resilience of the industry," said Jack Chalden, general manager, SUPERCOMM. "These awards celebrate outstanding network achievements and the products, technologies and services that underpin them. I congratulate the winners on their success." Created in 1998 by SUPERCOMM and tele.com, the awards are designed to recognize the year's best built networks and most promising new technologies. They also honor the key products and technologies launched at SUPERCOMM. Awards were given to exhibitors and customers that have made the most extraordinary achievements in telecommunications worldwide.
