CALY Networks Uses Lumos Technologies, Inc.'s Telecom Management Server -- TMS -- to Manage Their Wireless Metropolitan Area Network.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SANTA MONICA Santa Monica (săn`tə mŏn`ĭkə), city (1990 pop. 86,905), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1886. Tourism and retailing are important, and the city has motion-picture, biotechnology, and software industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2002 Lumos' TMS TMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (alternative medicine for depression) TMS Test Match Special (sports - cricket) TMS Texas Motor Speedway TMS Transportation Management System TMS Toyota Motor Sales Is Used as Basis of CALY's Management System Lumos Technologies, Inc., a provider of carrier-class network management solutions, announced today that CALY Networks incorporated Lumos' TMS in their CALY Node Manager(TM). The CALY Node Manager is the element management system that accompanies the CALYnet(TM) system, a broadband gigabit wireless system for 3G backhaul and metropolitan networks. TMS is a complete network management system containing comprehensive management services, from fault to inventory, that manages wireless networks as well as optical and wired networks. The CALYnet system is a next-generation IP wireless mesh network (1) A network that relies on all nodes to propagate signals. Although the wireless signal may start at some base station (access point) attached to a wired network, a wireless mesh network extends the transmission distance by relaying the signal from one computer to another. with multi-gigabit capacity for backhauling 3G mobile base stations and connecting enterprise local area networks (LANs) directly to the fiber optic backbone. Operators can support high bandwidth (100Mbps) next-generation IP services without the large investment and delays associated with alternative solutions. The CALY Node Manager can be integrated into a service provider's existing Operational Support System. Such a system is able to provide a centralized place for managing Faults, Configuration and Performance, and is a critical application for managing the mesh wireless IP network. "Basing the CALY Node Manager on Lumos' TMS assured us of a robust and reliable carrier-class management system for our customers," said Amir Fuhrmann, Director Software Engineering of CALY Networks. "After looking at many other commercial alternatives, we selected Lumos because of their extensive experience in the market, the breadth of their product, its developer documentation, and the quick, comprehensive support they provide." He added, "Using TMS has enabled us to ship CALY Node Manager and CALYnet concurrently." TMS has an extensive SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. interface for element management and a CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global interface to the higher OSSes. The graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to is easy to customize and TMS provides all the common northbound and southbound interfaces needed for today's telecommunications networks as well as configurable management clients. "We're very pleased to be chosen by an innovative company like CALY Networks," commented Fergal Lyons, Director of Network Architecture at Lumos Technologies.

We are confident that by using TMS, CALY will distinguish their product. It has allowed their engineers to concentrate on customizing their management system while at the same time it reduced resource requirements The components of a system that are required by software or hardware. It refers to resources that have finite limits such as memory and disk. In a PC, it may also refer to the resources required to install a new peripheral device, namely IRQs, DMA channels, I/O addresses and memory , and accelerated their time to market." About CALY Networks CALY Networks Inc. was founded in 1998 to design and produce next-generation wireless network solutions for the 3G mobile backhaul and emerging metropolitan access market. The CALYnet system provides a next-generation IP wireless mesh metropolitan area network (MAN) system with multi-gigabit capacity for connecting mobile base stations and local area networks (LANs) directly to the fiber optic backbone. Operators will be able to support high bandwidth (100Mbps) IP connectivity without the large initial investment and delays associated with alternative solutions. The system allows these providers to simplify their network architecture, bypass the legacy local loop, and provision the next generation of value added Value Added The enhancement a company gives its product or service before offering the product to customers.
