Corrigent Systems Demonstrates Industry's First Complete RPR Solution.Business Editors COMNET COMNET - A simulation tool from CACI for analysing wide-area voice or data networks, based on SIMSCRIPT. 2002 Booth No. 544 WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2002 CM-100(TM) Series to be one of the first implementations supporting IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. Standard Corrigent Systems, Inc. will conduct the industry's first live demonstrations of SONET and Ethernet over a 10 Gbps 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. ) at the COMNET conference and expo, booth No. 544. Corrigent will demo its CM-100(TM) RPR solution, which will be one of the first implementations to support the IEEE's RPR standard. Revolutionary in its economics, Corrigent's CM-100 offers a complete transport solution to carriers. Not only does it carry Ethernet traffic while transparently supporting the full range of existing 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 SONET-based services at speeds of 10 Gbps, but it does so for half the cost of alternative solutions. Corrigent's innovative solution will demonstrate sub-50msec restoration time for both transparent high-speed SONET services and Gigabit Ethernet over RPR, utilizing the RPR MAC fast-protection mechanism. Integrated in the demonstration will be Corrigent's CM-View(TM) Element Management System (EMS), demonstrating the rich service provisioning, fault management and performance monitoring capabilities of Corrigent's TMN (Telecommunications Management Network) A set of international standards for network management from the ITU. It is used by large carriers such as Sprint, Verizon and AT&T. compliant solution. A local craft screen will demonstrate the TL-1 based management capabilities. "Carriers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. solutions that economically combine the best of SONET and Ethernet to allow them to provide a competitive `one stop shop' for both circuit and packet services," said John Coons, vice president and chief analyst of optical networking for Gartner Dataquest. "RPR solutions that also support compatibility with existing SONET network management systems help to provide the necessary migration path for carriers." As a leading participant in the IEEE's 802.17 workgroup since its inception, Corrigent contributed the significant SWIS SWIS School-Wide Information System SWIS Solid Waste Information System SWIS Satellite Weather Information System SWIS Strengths Weaknesses Issues Suggestions contribution that enabled the wrap and steer fast-protection mechanisms to coexist. This successfully led to the recently converged "Darwin" proposal, which is now the most widely supported basis for the standard and a major milestone for RPR. "In the last year of RPR standardization efforts, Corrigent worked to find the solutions that best addressed our customers' needs, helping to integrate the combined advantages of the proposals made to IEEE 802.17," said Nigel Cole, vice president of business development of Corrigent Systems and member of the Board of Directors for the RPR Alliance. "Corrigent's demonstration is significant in that it showcases the viability of RPR as a highly economic, carrier-class platform for Gigabit Ethernet and multi-service applications." About Corrigent Corrigent Systems leads a new class of metro-optical transport products delivering the complete set of SONET and Ethernet services over Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), at a significantly lower cost relative to alternative Optical Ethernet or next-generation SONET/SDH architectures. Corrigent's approach to RPR is unique in its use of SONET style management tools to enable seamless integration into today's existing SONET networks, while providing packet efficiencies and supporting the full range of SONET service rates - at speeds of 10 Gbps. Corrigent's breakthrough architecture solves the metro dilemma for service providers worldwide: It allows them to bridge their existing SONET services with next-generation data, voice and video services. Corrigent is a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. based in Silicon Valley, with an R&D center in Israel.
