Azna LLC Announces 350 km, 10 Gbps Transmission with Directly Modulated CMDM-TM- Lasers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2004 Azna LLC (Wilmington, MA) today announced error-free transmission at 10.7 Gbps over a record 350 km of fiber without the use of optical dispersion compensation. This extends the previously announced 10 Gbps transmission over more than 200 km of uncompensated fiber for Azna's stand-alone Chirp Managed Directly Modulated (CMDM CMDM Collaborative Master Data Management CMDM Chirp Managed Directly Modulated CMDM Committee for the Moral Defense of Microsoft CMDM Control and Monitor Display Manager CMDM Customer Master Data Management CMDM Customization Metadata Manager (TM)) laser. This latest breakthrough was accomplished using Azna's CMDM laser in conjunction with AMCC's (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : AMCC) DispersionXX(TM) Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC EDC See: Export Development Corp. ) Chipset, and represents the longest propagation distance reported for any 10 Gbps transmitter without optical dispersion compensation. This transmission capability will enable service providers to deploy networks that are virtually immune to dispersion. New levels of network flexibility and associated cost reductions will be realized by facilitating upgrades from 2.5 Gbps to 10 Gbps, by virtually eliminating network dispersion planning, by extending node separations, and by eliminating optical dispersion compensation. Azna's transmitter uses standard directly modulated DFB DFB acronym for dark, firm, dry meat. Called also dark cutting beef. laser chips integrated with the Azna CMDM technology. The physical design of the CMDM laser is compatible with both standard butterfly packages as well as XFP and SFP transceiver designs. "This latest achievement of 350 km for 10 Gbps systems without the need for optical compensation comes at an opportune time for our industry," said Parviz Tayebati, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"The pressures of cost, performance, and flexibility imposed by the growing demand for broadband services simply cannot be met by the existing technologies of EMLs or discrete modulators. The CMDM technology gives the service providers the opportunity to take advantage of new and enabling standards for their networks," added Tayebati.
