Large Private Wireline Carrier in Russia Selects Digital Lightwave NIC Plus for Jitter Testing Needs; Sale Marks First Significant Deal in Russia.CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Digital Lightwave(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:DIGL DIGL Device Independent Graphics Layer ), a leading provider of optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. technology and test instruments, today announced that a large private wireline carrier in Russia has selected Digital Lightwave's NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. Plus(R) to fulfill its Jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle testing needs. "Digital Lightwave added Jitter technology to its NIC product line specifically addressing significant opportunities for us in Asia and Europe," stated Michael Riddick, Senior Vice President of International Sales, Digital Lightwave. "Advances in our strategic focus on international sales can be seen through growth of our distributor relationships and our investment in globally appealing technologies. This sale marks our first significant deal in Russia." Through their Russian based distributor Prime Road Group, Digital Lightwave was awarded the contract to outfit the carrier with its highly flexible and adaptable Network Information Computer(R) equipped with Jitter testing technology. The NIC Plus units will be used primarily for implementation and maintenance of the wireline carrier's extensive network footprint. Prime Road Group, one of Russia's largest telecom equipment distributors, has exclusive representation of Digital Lightwave products in the countries of Russia, Belorussia, Ukrain, Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Turkmenia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Jitter testing is vital to detect flaws and inconsistencies in timing systems that would hamper the ability to transfer data at high rates. Jitter testing is used in the design of equipment, manufacturing test, field implementation and maintenance, creating a sizable potential customer base for NIC products. NIC products are available in several configurations, based on a common platform with three different chassis. Modules supporting SONET, SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET. SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy , OTN OTN Oracle Technology Network OTN Optical Transport Network (Cienna) OTN On The Net OTN Open Transport Network (Apple) OTN Oncology Therapeutics Network OTN On That Note OTN Optical Network Terminal , ATM, PDH PDH - Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy , T-Carrier, and Ethernet are available. The latest in Jittter and Ethernet as well as the next-generation SONET/SDH (Virtual Concatenation Virtual concatenation (VCAT) is an inverse multiplexing technique used to split SONET/SDH bandwidth into logical groups, which may be transported or routed independently. Alternate SONET/SDH concatenation techniques are contiguous concatenation and arbitrary concatenation. , Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme or LCAS is a method to dynamically increase or decrease the bandwidth of virtual concatenated containers. The LCAS protocol is specified in ITU-T G.7042. , Generic Framing Procedure Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) is defined by ITU-T G.7041. This allows mapping of variable length, higher-layer client signals over a transport network like SDH/SONET. The client signals can be protocol data unit (PDU) oriented (like IP/PPP or Ethernet Media Access Control) or can ) technologies are available in new NIC products and as upgrades to existing products. About NIC Products Digital Lightwave's portable NICs are software-based, modular products that combine a multitude of test functions in a single integrated solution, including OTN, SONET/SDH, T-carrier/PDH, ATM, Ethernet, and Jitter analysis. Existing NIC Plus products can be upgraded to include Jitter capability. About Digital Lightwave Digital Lightwave, Inc. provides the global communications networking industry with products, technology and services that enable the efficient development, deployment and management of high performance networks. Digital Lightwave's customers -- companies that deploy networks, develop networking equipment, and manage networks -- rely on its offerings to optimize network performance and ensure service reliability.
