NEC SPECTRALWAVE TECHNOLOGY POWERS 10 GBPS IP BACKBONE FROM COAST TO COAST.An OC-192 Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) backbone capable of transmitting broadcasts of all 32 opening round games of the NCAA NCAA abbr. National Collegiate Athletic Association men's basketball tournament from Los Angeles to New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of in less than two minutes was created using technologies and services from 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. America Public Networks Group. When one of the world's largest carriers made a commitment to build one of the most powerful IP infrastructures in the industry, it turned to NEC PNG (Portable Network Graphics) A bitmapped graphics file format endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium. It is expected to eventually replace the GIF format, because there are lingering legal problems with GIFs. for its state-of-the-art equipment, turnkey technology and timely implementation. From product inception to implementation, NEC met or beat the required timeline in every instance. In addition, NEC's cost-effective SpectralWave(R) DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing OC-192 transponders provided the flexibility, capacity, and ease-of- integration necessary to complete this forward-looking project. The infrastructure for this state-of-the-art backbone was installed by NEC's Network Engineering and Implementation group. The network's implementation of NEC's OC-192 IP backbone links -- which represents the largest operational deployment of this service capability in the market -- forms two paths, coast to coast, across the United States. "The SpectralWave family enabled the carrier to deliver a next-generation, coast-to-coast IP backbone that meets and exceeds today's needs for broadband- hungry data applications," said Dr. Rikio Maruta, senior vice president, NEC America, Inc. One of the hurdles presented by this particular project was connecting fiber of varying quality along the network. The flexibility of NEC's SpectralWave family enabled the carrier to deliver data over diverse fiber quality from coast to coast. NEC PNG's SpectralWave family is a series of products that addresses the next generation of optical networks allowing carriers to offer a complete suite of optical solutions. NEC America, Inc., an affiliate of NEC Corporation (Nasdaq: NIPNY), develops, manufactures and markets a complete line of advanced communication products and software for public and private networks. NEC America's Public Networks Group provides optical networking systems, etcSONET transmission systems, optical networking systems, network management systems, digital loop carrier In telephone communications, a technology that increases the number of channels in the local loop by converting analog signals to digital and multiplexing them back to the end office. products and ATM/IP switching and routing products. NEC Corporation and its affiliates worldwide are a $48 billion global leader whose 154,000 employees are dedicated to providing leading edge technologies, products and solutions. |
