MOVAZ COMPLETES TELCORDIA OSMINE SERVICES PROCESS FOR RBOC.

Movaz Networks, a provider of optical networking solutions for Metro Edge, Metro Access and Metro Core, has successfully completed the Telcordia OSMINE Services process for its RAYexpress and RAYextender products.

The Telcordia OSMINE Services process enables network equipment compatibility and interoperability with Telcordia operations support systems (OSS). Eighty percent of the US telecommunications networks depend on software developed and maintained by Telcordia, making the Telcordia OSMINE Services process critical for deployment of new technology in the largest metropolitan networks. The strategic relationship between Movaz and Telcordia was established at the inception of Movaz. Movaz had obtained COMMON LANGUAGE CLEI codes for its RAY products over 15 months ago. Support for the Telcordia TIRKS System was completed in the RAYexpress and RAYextender products at the beginning of this year. Now with the June completion of the Telcordia NMA System testing, Movaz products are ready to be fully operationalized, a critical step toward volume deployment in RBOCs.

"Movaz Networks has shown an extremely strong commitment to the RBOC market by engaging the Telcordia OSMINE Services process early in their development cycle," said Dennis Tinley, vice president, customer solutions, Telcordia Technologies. "Our relationship with Movaz extends beyond the close collaboration on some of the advanced DWDM functionality introduced by Movaz. We recognize Movaz as a leader in the use of GMPLS to provide a standards-based optical control plane and we look forward to expanding our collaboration to include leveraging embedded GMPLS for the management of next generation optical networks."

"We have been relentless in our efforts to reduce operations expenses and lifecycle costs of metro optical products by adding many advanced capabilities enabled through both integrated hardware architecture and the incorporation of GMPLS control plane," states Bijan Khosravi, founder, chairman and CEO of Movaz Networks. "OSS management of these capabilities is a critical element. Our joint work with Telcordia will facilitate the deployment of GMPLS routed wavelength services and finally create a unified optical infrastructure for RBOCs to deliver cost effective optical services across Regional and Metro networks."

Movaz Networks has been shipping generally available products since Q4, 2001 and has announced numerous customer wins. Its RAY product portfolio is deployed in the US as well as internationally in Europe and Asia Pacific.
