Chorum Technologies Signs Supply Agreements With Nortel Networks.Business Editors & High Tech Writers RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2001 Chorum Technologies' PolarWave(TM) Optical Slicer(TM) Filtering Technology Incorporated in Nortel Networks (Nortel Networks Limited, Brampton, Ontario, www.nortelnetworks.com) A world leader in telecommunications products, which includes switching, wireless and broadband systems for service providers and carriers, telephones and systems for residential and business users, computer telephony Optical Systems Chorum Technologies Inc., a leading innovator of all-optical processors and subsystems in the fast-growing fiber-optics market, today announced it has signed supply agreements to provide its PolarWave(TM) Optical Slicer(TM) filters to Nortel Networks. Chorum Technologies' Optical Slicer filtering technology is based on the company's polarization polarization Property of certain types of electromagnetic radiation in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specified way. processing techniques. The Optical Slicer filter is a passive device that combines and separates thousands of high-bandwidth optical channels onto and off a single fiber optic strand, increasing the bandwidth carrying capacity carrying capacity the number of animal units that a farm or area will carry on a year round basis, including that needed for conservation of winter feed. Usually stated as dry cows or dry sheep equivalents per hectare. of fiber-optic communications networks The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. . "This agreement is another major milestone for Chorum Technologies," said Scott Grout Grout A binding or structural agent used in construction and engineering applications. Grout is typically a mixture of hydraulic cement and water, with or without fine aggregate; however, chemical grouts are also produced. , Chorum Technologies president and 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. . "Nortel Networks integration of our 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. technologies for its long-haul optical systems reinforces Chorum's strong leadership for rapidly delivering carrier-grade, all-optical solutions that increase the reliability, flexibility and capacity of communications networks." Chorum Technologies' family of PolarWave products includes optical filters, optical switches, optical processors and integrated optical subsystems. With Chorum's products, new optical networks can be built with 1,200 optical channels that are dynamically routed, switched, provisioned, protected and restored all-optically. Chorum's solutions eliminate costly and complex optical-to-electrical-to-optical conversions, increase the reliability and bandwidth of networks and enable the creation of new wavelength services.
