Corrigent Systems Announces Distribution Agreement With Netmarks for Japanese Market; Relationship to Establish the CM-100 as the Leading Packet ADM in the Japanese Market.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2004 Corrigent Systems, a leading provider of packet-ADMs (Add Drop Multiplexer) for next-generation transport networks, today announced a distribution agreement with Netmarks Inc., one of Japan's leading distributors and systems integrators of optical transport and IP equipment. Under this agreement, Netmarks will provide sales, network design and planning, system integration and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services for Corrigent's CM-100 family of products in the Japanese market. "The market for high capacity data-optimized transport equipment is especially strong in Japan, where Ethernet service demand and deployments of fiber-to-the-home and VDSL See DSL. VDSL - Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line have fueled the tremendous growth of high-bandwidth applications such as video-on-demand (VoD), IP Television and multimedia on demand," said Kazuhiko Shirai, Executive Officer, General Manager, Service Provider Solutions Division of Netmarks. "After a long evaluation of a number of products that address Ethernet and 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. metro transport services The collective functions of layers 1 through 4 of the OSI model. , we concluded that Corrigent's CM-100 product provides telecom carriers a superior infrastructure for delivering carrier class quality and cost effective services." Corrigent's CM-100 packet ADM See add/drop multiplexer. (language) ADM - A picture query language, extension of Sequel2. ["An Image-Oriented Database System", Y. Takao et al, in Database Techniques for Pictorial Applications, A. Blaser ed, pp. 527-538]. is an innovative transport solution that enables telecom carriers to rapidly deploy any mix of voice, video and data services. By utilizing packet technologies such as Resilient Packet Ring See RPR. (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 Multi Protocol Label Switching (networking) label switching - A routing technique that uses information from existing IP routing protocols to identify IP datagrams with labels and forwards them to a modified switch or router, which then uses the labels to switch the datagrams through the network. (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. ), the CM-100 is designed to be a vital building block in data-optimized metro networks. "Japan's nationwide fiber to the premise build up accelerates the need to upgrade metro networks. Netmarks is an excellent partner for Corrigent to address this market," said Shane Eleniak, Vice President of Product Management and Sales of Corrigent Systems. "The customer base of Netmarks in Japan, nationwide service and support coverage and the complementary telecom equipment distribution relationships Netmarks provides, enables Corrigent to fully address the needs of Japanese carriers and rapidly expands Corrigent's presence in the Japanese market."
