Research and Markets: 2006 Research Available on Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Nortel Optical and Other Metro Core ROADM Products.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of Metro Core ROADM ROADM Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer ROADM Reconfigurable Add Drop Multiplexing product research to their offerings. These reports, written by an objective 3rd party, contain insight and analysis of the product or service strengths and weaknesses, lists buying criteria and how the product or service fares in each category, and also provides a comprehensive table of product or service metrics and specifications. These reports are useful for purchasers who need to evaluate products or as a source of competitive intelligence for vendors. The following reports are now available: Ciena CN 4200 FlexSelect (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45879) The compact CN 4200 has taken flexibility to a new level, encompassing programmable interfaces to full band tunable optics. However, the product offers a fraction of the bandwidth of some competing metro core products. Cisco ONS ONS Office for National Statistics (UK) ONS One Night Stand ONS Onslaught (Unreal Tournament 2004) ONS Oncology Nursing Society ONS Object Naming Service ONS Offshore Northern Seas 15454 MSTP (MultiService Transport Platform) A high-end Cisco router that is geared for optical connections to metropolitan area networks (MANs). MSTPs include the functionality of MultiService Provisioning Platform (MSSP) routers. See MSSP and MSPP. (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45880) Cisco's use of proven, low-cost IPLCs in its ROADM provides an easy upgrade path for 15454 customers, while improvements like 40G supports future data growth. But, unlike most competitors, details on multi-degree, WSS WSS Windows Sharepoint Services (Microsoft) WSS Web Services Security (OASIS) WSS Wavelength Selective Switch (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) ROADM plans remain elusive. Ericsson Multihaul 3000 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45881) In terms of capacity and distance capabilities, no other metro product comes close to the Multihaul 3000, but some might question whether this platform is overkill for the metro ROADM market. Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 7500 ROADM (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45882) Fujitsu's FLASHWAVE 7500 ROADM product offers a comprehensive feature set, including advanced features such as a network-proven WSS-based ROADM, but the product lacks the expected interface card for muxing low-speed data services such as ESCON (Enterprise Systems CONnection) An IBM S/390 fiber-optic channel that transfers 17 Mbytes/sec over distances up to 60 km depending on connection type. ESCON allows peripheral devices to be located across large campuses and metropolitan areas. . Huawei OptiX Metro 6100 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45889) Huawei's OptiX Metro 6100 meets basic benchmarks matched by competing products. However, it does not stand out on any front, which argues that, without upgrades, it could have a hard time competing as the market becomes more crowded. Lucent Metropolis Wavelength Services Manager (WSM WSM Samoa (ISO Country code) WSM Wave Structure of Matter WSM Workers Solidarity Movement (Ireland) WSM Web Services Management WSM Weston-Super-Mare (Somerset, England) ) (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45890) Lucent's WSM meets the status quo [Latin, The existing state of things at any given date.] Status quo ante bellum means the state of things before the war. The status quo to be preserved by a preliminary injunction is the last actual, peaceable, uncontested status which preceded the pending controversy. in many aspects including wavelength capacity, distance and interfaces supported. However, the product lags in bandwidth density and has not provided details on plans to support multi-degree rings. Nortel Optical Metro 5200 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45892) Nortel's Optical Metro 5200 has a strong installed base and it offers wide choices in interfaces and protocol support for both carrier and enterprise customers, but the product trails the market in capacity, distance, and footprint. Tellabs 7100 Optical Transport System (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45894) Innovations, like integrated optical channel monitor, WSS-based ROADM, fully tunable optics and "ADM See add/drop multiplexer. (language) ADM - A picture query language, extension of Sequel2. ["An Image-Oriented Database System", Y. Takao et al, in Database Techniques for Pictorial Applications, A. Blaser ed, pp. 527-538]. on a blade," along with its recent Verizon win, make the 7100 OTS See Office of Thrift Supervision. platform a product worth considering. Tropic Networks Tropic TRX-24000 (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45896) With recent developments, the TRX-24000 joins the ranks of metro core products with WSS-based ROADMs. However, the updates did not address every shortfall, such as the lack of low speed SONET muxing and XFP XFP 10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable Module XFP Extra-Fine-Pitch XFP Ten Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable connectors.
