Corrigent Systems to Address the Evolution of Transport Networks at Telecom Events in the US, UK, Spain and Japan; To Highlight Core Capabilities in TDM-to-packet Network Migration.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Corrigent Systems, a leading provider of packet-ADMs (Add Drop Multiplexer) for next-generation transport networks, will present on topics covering its CM-100 Packet ADM product and technology at the following worldwide appearances in November.

International Engineering Consortium Executive ComForum

Content services and networking are playing an increasingly significant role in carrier strategies as high-speed capabilities are being deployed in networks. Service providers are striving to enhance their service packages with content and video to return to revenue and customer growth. The IEC's Executive ComForum provides a unique venue in which senior-level executives in the communications industry creatively and informally discuss ways to address the challenges these new developments pose.

WHEN:
November 11, 2005

WHERE:
The Breakers, Palm Beach, FL

WHAT:
Corrigent will chair a workshop on "Architectures for New Networks."
The workshop will discuss the opportunities, strategies, and building
blocks for content service evolution that will maximize ROI and
provide a new generation of high-margin services.

2nd IEE International Seminar on Evolution of Transport Networks -- The Case for MPLS

The exponential growth in packet-driven communications is creating new challenges and opportunities for service providers. To meet the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities, service providers have to consider transport technologies that facilitate easy evolution of current circuit-based SDH/SONET networks towards a packet-optimized architecture. This IEE international seminar series focuses on the role of MPLS technology in enabling this evolution.

WHEN:
Friday, November 11th, 2005

WHERE:
IEE Faraday Lecture Theatre, Savoy Place, London, WC2R OBL

WHAT:
Corrigent will present technological developments and recent progress
in the standards organizations that enable transparent transport of
storage services over MPLS in the next generation transport network,
enabling convergence of all carriers' services over a packet-aware
metro transport network.

PRESENTER:
Moran Roth, System Architect, Corrigent Systems

Next Generation Transport Network Strategies

EMEA's major telecoms operators are making judicious investments in their transport platforms. Capacity, flexibility, carrier-class performance and cost-effectiveness are fundamental considerations. IPTV, 3G, ICT and Ethernet VPNs are the main service drivers. The 7th annual Transport Network Strategies conference and exhibition covers detailed case study presentations from senior professionals representing fixed and mobile carriers and vendors, among them: BT, FT, T-Com, Telecom Italia, Orange, NTL and others.

WHEN:
November 7 thru 11, 2005

WHERE:
Princess Sofia Inter-Continental, Barcelona

WHAT:
Corrigent will present information on its Packet ADM product line
allowing service providers to cost-effectively rollout new triple-play
and business data services and evolve their existing TDM-centric
transport network to a scalable and robust packet-optimized network.

MPLS Japan 2005

MPLS Japan 2005 is the premier event in Japan that focuses on technical aspects of deploying MPLS technology in service providers' networks. Participants from the leading carriers and vendors in Japan openly discuss traffic engineering, quality of service, management, signaling and multicast aspects related to MPLS technology.

WHEN:
November 22, 2005

WHERE:
Kaiun Club 2nd Floor, Tokyo

WHAT:
MPLS technology to date has been primarily deployed in the core IP
networks as a traffic engineering technology. The typical metro
network poses different constraints, and quality of service mechanisms
have to be applied to cost-effectively enable introduction of new
bandwidth hungry applications. Corrigent will discuss in its
presentation the quality-of-service mechanisms required for efficient
service delivery in the next-generation MPLS-based transport network.
