Cedar Point Communications and Wave7 Optics Complete Interoperability Testing to Facilitate VoIP and Multimedia Services in FTTP Networks.DERRY, N.H. and ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Two Companies Also Create Sales and Support Partnership Cedar Point Communications and Wave7 Optics Inc announced today the completion of interoperability testing, between Cedar Point's SAFARI C3 Multimedia Switching System and Wave7 Optics' Trident7(TM) and Last Mile Link(TM) (LML LML - 1. Lazy ML. A lazy, purely functional variant of ML designed by Thomas Johnson and Lennart Augustsson at the Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden in 1984. LML is implemented on the G-machine, and was used to implement the first Haskell B compiler. ) Systems, that will make it easier and more-cost effective to deploy VoIP and multimedia services in fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP (Fiber To The Premises) The installation of optical fiber from the carrier directly into the home or office. Also called "fiber to the home" (FTTH). See PON and FTTC. See also FTP. ) networks. The two companies, which tested interoperability against both PacketCable(TM) and Session Internet Protocol (SIP) standards, also announced that they have entered into a partnership for the sale and support of fiber-based end-to-end Voice over IP solutions that combine Cedar Point's SAFARI C3 and Wave7 Optics' LML and Trident7 FTTP systems. Cedar Point is the leader in integrated packet-based voice switching technologies for the cable MSO (1) (Multiple System Operator) Typically refers to a cable TV organization that owns more than one cable system, but it may refer to an operator of only one system. industry and Wave7 is a leading supplier of FTTP broadband network equipment for residential and business services. "This collaboration addresses the growing interest among Wave7 Optics' existing and prospective customers for a simple, cost-effective and scalable voice and multimedia switching solution," said Tom Tighe, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Wave7 Optics. "Achieving interoperability with the Cedar Point suite of products represents another important step towards assuring a smooth deployment of triple-play services for our customers." "By working with an established leader in the FTTP space, we can capitalize on SAFARI C3's flexibility against any access medium to create new opportunities for both companies," said George Kassas, founder and executive vice president, business development for Cedar Point Communications. "Interoperability between our SAFARI C3 and Wave7's widely deployed LML and recently introduced Trident7 equipment enables operators to reduce costs and to simplify the deployment and ongoing operations of high-quality, highly-reliable voice services." The Wave7 Optics LML offers network operators the ability to deploy a single, flexible IP-based optical Ethernet network for voice, data and video (CATV (Community Antenna TV) The original name for cable TV. It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference. broadcast or IP) over a single fiber. The Trident7 fully supports EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) Using Ethernet to provide connectivity from the customer to the carrier. See 802.3ah. , GPON See PON. and LML on a "blade by blade" basis and incorporates many of Wave7's unique and patented FTTP innovations, including full support for the PacketCable, SIP and MGCP See MGCP/MEGACO. MGCP - Media Gateway Control Protocol VoIP standards, multi-layer QoS, integrated RF return for interactive video, industry leading 128-bit encryption and Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS SRS, SRS-A see slow-reacting substance. ) immunity for the highest quality video. SAFARI C3 is the only totally integrated carrier class switch that incorporates -- at no additional cost -- all of the components that make up the PacketCable(TM) voice switching infrastructure, eliminating the need for operators to purchase, maintain, upgrade and regression test separate Call Management Servers, Media Gateways, Record Keeping Servers, Announcement Servers, Signaling Gateways, Ethernet Switches and CALEA CALEA Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (Fairfax, Virginia) CALEA Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 CALEA Communication Assistance to Low Enforcement Act servers. Designed to accommodate not only current voice switching needs but also the anticipated migration to video telephony, multimedia services and seamless mobility, the PacketCable(TM)-qualified SAFARI C3 provides superior performance and reliability, significantly reducing capital expenditures, system integration and operations costs for cable operators offering telephony services while increasing network integrity, security and privacy.
