NEC Demonstrates Leadership and Technical Expertise at OFC/NFOEC 2007.NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Researchers and Executives to Present Twenty-One In-Depth Technical Papers on Innovative Technologies Critical to the Optical Networking Environment HERNDON, Va. -- NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a premier provider of IT, network and telephony solutions, announced today that NEC researchers and industry experts focused on the optical networking space, will present 21 technical papers at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC), the largest industry event in optical communications and networking, held at the Anaheim Convention Center Anaheim Convention Center is a major convention center in Anaheim, California. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. Much of the Anaheim Convention Center has been renovated in recent years with state-of-the-art facilities. in California, March 25-29, 2007. NEC has a rich history in global Research and Development (R&D) activities, and currently maintains six locations throughout the United States, Europe and China, and an additional nine R&D facilities in Japan. NEC enjoys an R&D culture that thrives on the exchange of ideas while capitalizing on the specialized knowledge and strengths offered within each region. Specifically at OFC/NFOEC, NEC technical experts and researchers from NEC Laboratories America, Inc., in Princeton, New Jersey
Princeton, New Jersey is located in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. Princeton University has been sited in the town since 1756. , and NEC Central Research Lab in Tokyo, Japan, will introduce new ideas and innovative solutions in optical networking in pursuit of the Next-Generation Network. A few headlining topics, include: * Novel schemes for modulation and transmission of high speed optical signals at 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s bit rates * Wave Division Multiplexing (spelling) wave division multiplexing - A common misnomer for wavelength division multiplexing. (WDM (1) (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) A technology that uses multiple lasers and transmits several wavelengths of light (lambdas) simultaneously over a single optical fiber. ) Passive Optical Network (PON (Passive Optical Network) An optical point-to-multipoint access network. There are no optical repeaters or other active devices in a PON, hence the name "passive. ) with Parallel Signal Detection for Video and Data Delivery * Quality of Service-Aware Scheduling over Hybrid Optical Wireless Networks * Backup Path Multiplexing Over Survivable Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (networking) Multiprotocol Label Switching - (MPLS) A packet switching protocol developed by the IETF. Initially developed to improve switching speed, other benefits are now seen as being more important. (GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching) In a WDM optical networking system, it is the ability to route a data transmission based on the wavelength of light that carries it. ) Networks * Centralized Resource Management in Wavelength Selective Switches (WSS WSS Windows Sharepoint Services (Microsoft) WSS Web Services Security (OASIS) WSS Wavelength Selective Switch (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) )-Based Wavelength Cross-Connect Nodes * A Novel Tunable Demultiplexers/Multiplexers (DeMUX/MUX Solution for WSS-Based Reconfiguration Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADM ROADM Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer ROADM Reconfigurable Add Drop Multiplexing ) and Wavelength Cross-Connects (WXC WXC Wavelength Cross-Connect ) Nodes "Being a part of a global organization driven by R&D interests, NEC strives to continually introduce a healthy mix of innovations that focus on both fundamental and applied research," said Dr. Milorad Cvijetic, vice president and chief technology strategist, Optical Network Systems Division, NEC Corporation of America. "By presenting on a number of emerging optical networking topics at OFC/NFOEC, NEC has the opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to the carrier community looking to implement advanced optical solutions in Next Generation Networks." OFC/NFOEC 2007 provides attendees and exhibiting companies an opportunity to view some of the industry's most comprehensive optical technologies in terms of research breakthroughs and innovations as well as the commercial products and services.
