Cornet Technology Announces its ClearWave Automated Remote Fiber Connectivity Switch at the DISA Customer Partnership Conference.Fiber optic switch supports advanced, high capacity, easily scaleable fiber topologies SPRINGFIELD, Va. -- Cornet Technology Communications (CTC CTC - Cornell Theory Center ), the network communications solutions division of Cornet Technology, Inc. (CTI (Computer Telephone Integration) Combining data with voice systems in order to enhance telephone services. For example, automatic number identification (ANI) allows a caller's records to be retrieved from the database while the call is routed to the appropriate party. ) (www.cornet.com), introduced its ClearWave product at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA AFCEA Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association ) Technology Showcase at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA 1. (body) DISA - Defense Information Systems Agency. 2. (standard) DISA - Data Interchange Standards Association. ) Customer Partnership Conference 2007. ClearWave is an all-optical fiber switch capable of remotely managing optical networks. The solution eliminates the need to change fibers manually from port to port. ClearWave is available in three scaleable configurations 96 by 96, 192 by 192 and 320 by 320 input and outputs. Interested parties are invited to meet with Cornet Technology representatives at the show, April 30 - May 2, 2007 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee “Nashville” redirects here. For other uses, see Nashville (disambiguation). Nashville is the capital and the second most populous city of the U.S. state of Tennessee, after Memphis. . Cornet Technology will be exhibiting at booth #551. ClearWave supports remote fiber connection and redistribution, remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a and testing, and rapid fault isolation and repair in a network operations environment. The switch reliably connects light between input and output fibers using beam collimators, devices used to straighten and make divergent light parallel as it exits a fiber, and 3-dimensional Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. ) mirror arrays as a switch engine. With MEMS technology, ClearWave switches connections over fiber regardless of protocol or wavelength and through data rates of 40G/OC-768. ClearWave is managed through a 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 (GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. ) or a Single Network Management Protocol (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. ) manager. The GUI facilitates the tracking of various information including connection location, optical power and connection time length. Mike Hardesty, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Cornet Technology Communications division, said, "ClearWave addresses the need for a scaleable, highly reliable, reconfigurable and easily manageable optical switching solution. The product combines redundant configuration and easily automated fiber network growth and redistribution via remote control. ClearWave provides an efficient, cost-effective solution, reducing configuration errors and operating costs, while increasing network performance."
