Aura Networks Introduces Radiance Optical Ethernet System For Fast, Efficient, Carrier-Class Metropolitan Broadband Data Services.Business/Technology Editors SUPERnet 2001 Booth no.1818 NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2001 Aura's Stealth IP(TM) Technology Gives Service Providers Critical Provisioning and Maintenance Features in an Optical Ethernet System Aura Networks, Inc. introduced today the Radiance(TM) Optical Ethernet System, one of the first truly cost-effective, carrier-class systems for broadband data services using optical Ethernet. The Radiance System offers service providers a simplified and highly competitive metro access infrastructure with critical provisioning, monitoring and maintenance features. Unlike enterprise Ethernet systems retrofitted for metro service, the Radiance Optical Ethernet System is designed to provide complete fiber connectivity, which can be provisioned in 1 Mbps increments up to a Gigabit, from the customer premise to the central office/point of presence. A key feature of the Radiance system is Aura-developed Stealth IP(TM) technology. Stealth IP uses an innovative inter-frame coding technique to enable a variety of features - including loopback testing, power and bit error rate monitoring - considered crucial for successful service deployments. The combination of features and cost-effectiveness makes the Radiance system a compelling competitive offering for service providers. "Service providers looking to differentiate themselves in a very crowded marketplace will eventually need to take advantage of optical Ethernet technology," said analyst Dave Passmore of The Burton Group. "Aura Networks' solution adds a network management capability to service provider Ethernet that has been missing." "Aura Networks is the first to deploy a highly cost-effective solution to address the rapidly growing metro bottleneck A lessening of throughput. It often refers to networks that are overloaded, which is caused by the inability of the hardware and transmission lines to support the traffic. It can also refer to a mismatch inside the computer where slower-speed peripheral buses and devices prevent the CPU problem," said Alan Brind Alan Brind is a British violinist who in 1986 at the age of 17, won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition performing Sibelius's Violin Concerto. Brind studied violin at the Royal Academy of Music but seriously considered snooker as a possible alternative career. , senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Aura Networks. "The Radiance Optical Ethernet System is the most cost effective way for service providers to offer superior services in terms of provisioning velocity, service availability and market penetration Noun 1. market penetration - the extent to which a product is recognized and bought by customers in a particular market penetration - the act of entering into or through something; "the penetration of upper management by women" ." The first products introduced in the Radiance family are the R5000 Central Service Platform, the R1000 Premise Service Platform and the NetBeacon Element and Service Provisioning Management System. These products are in beta testing (programming) beta testing - Testing a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected users. This term derives from early 1960s terminology for product cycle checkpoints, first used at IBM but later standard throughout the and will be demonstrated at booth #1818 at COMNET COMNET - A simulation tool from CACI for analysing wide-area voice or data networks, based on SIMSCRIPT. in Washington, D.C., January 30 - February 1, 2001. Shipping for the R5000 and NetBeacon begins January 19, 2001, and shipping for the R1000 begins February 12, 2001. Base pricing is $3,499 for the R5000, $1,129 for the R1000, and $299 to $909 for NetBeacon (depending on the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. ). About Aura Networks Aura Networks is an innovative next-generation 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. company focused on delivering optical access platforms that greatly simplify the service providers provisioning task. Aura Networks is the first to harness the power of Ethernet and fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber to deliver economically superior network edge access and last-mile connectivity solutions in the metro area This article is about the music production team. For the article about population centers, see metropolitan area. Metro Area are a Brooklyn-based dance music production team composed of Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani. . Based in Nashua, NH, Aura Networks is an ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001 registered company and distributes its products in over 40 countries worldwide. More information on Aura Networks can be found at http://www.auranetinc.com.
