OMM to supply modules to China's ZTE.OMM OMM Organisation Météorologique Mondiale (French: World Meteorological Organization) OMM Organización Meteorológica Mundial (Spanish: World Meteorological Organization) OMM Organizzazione Meteorologica Mondiale , Inc. (San Diego, CA, www.omminc.com), a provider of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. )-based all-optical switching modules, has announced that ZTE ZTE Zalaegerszegi Torna Egylet (Hungarian sports club) Corp. (Shenzhen, China, www.zte.com.cn) has incorporated OMM's products into the optical cross connect (OXC See optical cross-connect. ) functionality of their UNITRANS metro telecommunications system. Using OMM's MEMS-based switching modules, ZTE has developed and commercialized an all-optical cross connect as part of the UNITRANS ZXMP system for dynamic wavelength management in metropolitan area networks. The transparency provided by the OXC ensures switching of multiple data rates in dense wavelength division multiplexed (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 ) optical networks. "In the telecom market in China, we see all-optical cross connects becoming key elements for flexible metro DWDM systems," said Zhao Yong, product director for optical communications at ZTE "We chose OMM as our supplier because of their technology lead and proven manufacturing capability," he added. |
