Positron announces first Transmultiplexer to provide carriers with direct connection between SONET and Asynchronous Networks.MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 1996-- frees up expensive cross-connect ports while maintaining full SONET visibility and performance monitoring Today, Positron positron: see antiparticle. positron Subatomic particle having the same mass as an electron but with an electric charge of +1 (an electron has a charge of −1). It constitutes the antiparticle (see antimatter) of an electron. Fiber Systems launched its new SONET Transmultiplexer, Positron MIST. It is the first product which provides Carriers with a single, easy-to-use platform to directly connect SONET and asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. networks while maintaining full SONET end-to-end management. "MIST completely changes the cost dynamic for Inter-Carrier connections, by allowing Carriers to significantly reduce the number of broadband cross-connects in their network while enhancing end-to-end SONET visibility," said Andrew Knott Andrew Knott (born on 22 November 1979) is a British actor. His first acting was done in British television and radio programs. He was trained in the Oldham Theatre Workshop. , VP of Marketing and Sales at Positron Fiber Systems. Local access networks are increasingly SONET-based while Inter-Carrier connections are still mainly at the DS3 level. This means that the local Carrier has to provide expensive low speed SONET multiplexing equipment at the InterExchange point-of-presence or use up valuable ports on its local access cross-connect to reformat (1) To change the record layout of a file or database. (2) To initialize a disk over again. the traffic. MIST eliminates these problems by allowing a local Carrier to connect its SONET Transport Network directly to an InterExchange Carrier network at the DS3 level while maintaining full SONET visibility and performance monitoring right to the Carrier hand-off point. MIST allows any VT1.5 granular EC1 connection from a SONET network to be presented as a M13-compatible DS3 interface. For customer access applications, MIST can also demultiplex an EC1 tributary to provide 28 fully protected DS1 terminations. MIST can be managed by Positrons OSIRIS-VUE Management and Provisioning system which provides full point-and-click control of multiple MIST systems. It requires only a low cost Microsoft Windows-based PC platform, but is more powerful than many workstation-based solutions. A complete system can be turned up within a matter of minutes A Matter of Minutes is an episode from the television series The New Twilight Zone. Cast
For simple feeder applications, MIST can also be supplied as a fully featured OC1 multiplexer, eliminating the need for a full SONET add/drop multiplexer. List price for MIST starts at $11,000, and it will be available for delivery in Q2 '97. MIST has two packaging options: compact standalone or high-density rack mount enclosures. Positron Fiber Systems, Inc. (PFS PFS, n post facilitation stretch; therapeutic approach utilized during proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in which the patient begins the stretch midway between the fully relaxed and fully stretched position and uses maximum level of effort to ), headquartered in New Jersey, is a member of the Montreal-based Positron Industries Group which has manufactured telecommunications equipment since 1970. Positron Fiber Systems is dedicated to providing innovative and highly reliable solutions for the SONET and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET. See SONET.

CN (Communication News) recently awarded Positron with two 1996 Users' Choice Awards for Fiber Optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber and for Networks.

M13 formatting is the standard which allows an asynchronous multiplexer to breakout 28 DS1 circuits from a DS3 (45 Mbps) connection.
