(Nasdaq:CSCO CSCO Cisco Systems Incorporated (stock symbol) CSCO Chief Supply Chain Officer ), the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, today announced that the Cisco ONS ONS Office for National Statistics (UK) ONS One Night Stand ONS Onslaught (Unreal Tournament 2004) ONS Oncology Nursing Society ONS Object Naming Service ONS Offshore Northern Seas 15900 Wavelength Router router Portable electric power tool used in carpentry and furniture making that consists of an electric motor, a base, two handle knobs, and bits (cutting tools). A router can cut fancy edges for shelving, grooves for storm windows and weather stripping, circles and ovals (TM) has received the International Engineering Consortium's (IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission ) InfoVision 2000 Award. After evaluating technologies and products from more than 20 leading networking and communications companies Communications Company is a communications unit of the United States Marine Corps. They are part of Combat Logistics Regiment 37 , 3rd Marine Logistics Group (3MLG) and III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF). The unit is based out of the Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. in the Public Networks category, the Consortium identified Cisco's wavelength routing technology as the most noteworthy contribution to the communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry industry. The award will be presented at the IEC's National Communications Forum on October 18, 2000, in Chicago, Illinois. The InfoVision awards recognize technologies, applications, products and services for their technological advancement, industry impact, and end-user marketability and adoption. Through the InfoVision program, the IEC encourages innovation and excellence across the industry in the development of new communications solutions for today's evolving networks. "In the Public Networks category, we specifically evaluate technologies and products based on how well they meet the benchmarks of scale, low cost and reliability -- the things that will enable carriers to support the massive growth of data services," said John Janowiak, senior director of the IEC. "With the InfoVision Award, we proudly recognize Cisco for pioneering a technology that we believe will dominate the way carriers build and operate their core and bulk optical networks." "We are pleased to be recognized with this prestigious award for achieving our goal of developing and delivering industry-leading technology solutions," said Joe Bass, vice president and general manager of the Wavelength Routing Business Unit at Cisco Systems. "The Cisco ONS 15900 Wavelength Router represents true industry innovation in that it allows carriers to leverage their core network technologies alongside IP and ATM technologies to achieve vast scale and operational efficiencies while improving service availability and reliability in the access network." The Cisco ONS 15900 Wavelength Router is scalable in-service to beyond 160 terabits per second of non-blocking service-port capacity. The system creates a highly efficient mesh optical core network optimized for fast, reliable optical transport at wavelength granularities (OC-48 and OC-192). By pioneering layer 3 intelligence in optical networks, the ONS 15900 can provision end-to-end wavelengths in seconds, while providing rapid optical mesh restoration. Service providers can specify levels of activation, availability, latency (1) The time between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer. Data latency may refer to the time between a query and the results arriving at the screen or the time between initiating a transaction that modifies one or more databases and its completion. and restoration for different users, mixing and matching service-creation primitives to provide distinct multi-gigabit bandwidth service offerings including voice, interactive video, data and bulk transport applications.
