Mahi Networks Announces SUPERCOMM Plans
New 'Power' Portfolio of Optical Networking Solutions for VoIP, Video and Business Class Ethernet Services Will Be on Display
Piscataway, NJ — Mahi Networks, a supplier of market-leading optical transport, switching and aggregation solutions that are Powering the IP Services Network(TM), today announced it will showcase its new "Power" portfolio of optical networking solutions for the metro market in Booth 82051 at SUPERCOMM 2005 in Chicago, June 6-9.
Ongoing residential broadband rollouts, Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) initiatives and increased demand from enterprise customers for business class Ethernet services are forcing network operators to dramatically upgrade their metro network capacity in order to power the delivery of bandwidth-rich services. To meet increasing customer demand for services, such as Video-on-Demand (VOD) and Storage Area Networking (SAN), network operators are now looking at new technologies and newly emerging product categories, like multiservice Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs).
"A multiservice ROADM is the optimum solution to simplifying metro optical networks by consolidating discrete functions into a single multiservice optical platform that quickly and easily powers every node, every wavelength and every service," said Ashish Vengsarkar, vice president of product marketing and business development for Mahi Networks. "Our new Power portfolio gives network operators efficient and cost-effective optical solutions to smoothly add critical Ethernet and IP-based services, while also supporting and enhancing their investment in legacy TDM services."
Network operators see Mahi's Vx7(TM) Multiservice ROADM System -- the industry's first and most widely deployed multiservice ROADM built on Versicolor(R) wavelength selective switch technology -- as the key to simplifying their metro optical networks and the ideal solution to powering up VoIP, video and business class Ethernet services. Mahi's Vx7 was recently given the No. 1 Technical Prowess Rating by Heavy Reading.
Building on Mahi's Vx7 is the VersiNet management system. This software suite enables network operators to remotely provision the transport of voice, video and high-speed data services through their all-optical networks, allowing carriers to power up new services quickly while powering down operations costs.
Also on display at SUPERCOMM, as part of the company's new Power portfolio, will be the Lx7 Multiservice Optical Transport System family, which includes the Lx5 FiberPilot(TM) and Lx3 LightPilot(TM) systems. The Lx family of wave division multiplexing systems supports both CWDM and DWDM technologies for transporting ESCON, ATM, SONET/SDH, FICON, Fiber Channel, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet services.
Speaking Session Fueled by the residential "triple play" and FTTP deployments, network operators are now looking to multiservice ROADM-based DWDM solutions that can easily and cost effectively transport bandwidth-rich services over an all-optical IP services network. Mahi Networks' Ashish Vengsarkar leads an insightful, educational discussion on metro optical networks and the emerging multiservice ROADM technology that is powering the transport of new voice, video and high-speed data services from the network core to millions of bandwidth-hungry subscribers at the edge. Joining Vengsarkar on the 90-minute panel will be top industry executives from AT&T Labs, ECI Telecom, Meriton Networks and NEC America.
