Corrigent Extends Its Packet Transport Solution With New Platforms.CM-104 and CM-21 Product Line to Complement Corrigent's Packet Transport Offering Participate in Carrier Ethernet World Congress Interoperability Event SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Corrigent Systems, a leading provider of packet transport equipment for next-generation transport networks, announced today the release of new product additions to its market leading packet transport offering, designed to provide the access component in Corrigent's end-to-end packet transport solution. The CM-104 is a compact fully-redundant and modular Packet Transport Switch (PTS PTS put to sleep; a common euphemism for euthanasia, but also used to describe general anesthesia. ). The CM-104 PTS is six rack-units in height, and includes four horizontal user slots for all the generally-available CM-100 User Interface Modules, including Ethernet, PDH PDH - Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy , SONET/SDH, and storage interfaces. It supports 10Gbit/s or 2.5Gbit/s network-side interfaces, and as the rest of the CM-100 product line, it is based on MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. , RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) A packet-based protocol that provides fault tolerance and statistical multiplexing for the metropolitan and national SONET and Ethernet networks of the carriers. and SONET/SDH to provide a carrier-class packet transport solution. It is designed to provide a converged solution for operators offering a combination of carrier Ethernet, TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. and Fibre Channel services. The CM-21 Packet Transport Switch provides an Ethernet access solution for residential and business customers. The CM-21 may be subtended from Corrigent's CM-100 Ethernet user interface modules in ring, linear and tree configurations. It provides twenty-four Gbits/s of non-blocking switching capacity, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive, and interactive applications such as IP Television (IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. ), voice over IP (VoIP) and Video on Demand (VoD). It supports a full suite of Ethernet E-LINE and E-LAN services as defined by the MEF MEF Marine Expeditionary Force MEF Metro Ethernet Forum MEF Ministerio de EconomÃa y Finanzas (Spanish) MEF Mobile Entertainment Forum MEF Middle East Forum (think tank) . The CM-21 product line comes in four different configurations, all in a single rack unit, supporting optical or electrical fast-Ethernet and gigabit-Ethernet interfaces, including redundant AC and DC power options. "The addition of the CM-104 and CM-21 product line to our family of packet transport products allows us to address new markets, and expand the reach of our packet transport solution," said Gady Rosenfeld, Vice President of Marketing for Corrigent Systems. "It allows more service providers to benefit from a converged metro/access packet transport network solution with unified end-to-end management." Corrigent will be presenting its CM-100 and CM-21 end-to-end packet transport solution at the live interoperability event sponsored by the European Advanced Network Test Center (www.eantc.de) hosted by the Carrier Ethernet World Congress in Madrid, Spain. Corrigent will showcase the delivery of Ethernet services, IPTV, VoIP, and TDM over a converged packet transport network solution with Ethernet OAM (Operations Administration Maintenance) Refers to managing and maintaining a network or network device. The P in "OAM&P" adds "provisioning" to the list, which is a telephone company term for setting up a service. (per IEEE 802.1ag), point-and-click provisioning, and end-to-end Ethernet interworking (standard) interworking - Systems or components, possibly from different origins, working together to perform some task. Interworking depends crucially on standards to define the interfaces between the components. . About Corrigent Corrigent Systems is a market leader in next generation metro transport systems. Designed to enable profitable delivery of voice, video and data for Triple Play, Carrier Ethernet and Multi-service transport, Corrigent's focus is metro transport technology that maximizes revenue and profit for service providers. Used by carriers worldwide, the CM-100 line of Packet Transport integrates the traffic management and control of RPR and MPLS and eliminates the need for multiple transport elements. Corrigent's Packet Transport allows carriers to evolve their SONET/SDH networks with a standards based and interoperable product line that is optimized for today's service requirements.
