Optical Switching Systems Enable Intelligence and Law Enforcement Agencies to Instantly Manage Optical Connections for the Dissemination of High Volumes of Information
Glimmerglass, the leading supplier of intelligent optical switching systems, today announced it is demonstrating intelligent optical signal distribution systems at Milipol Paris 2009 from Nov. 17 – 20. Serving organizations involved in intelligence collection and dissemination, signals analysis and processing, and the lawful interception of communications, Glimmerglass optical switching systems enable operators to meet the challenge of collecting, processing and distributing increasing amounts of information with evolving media types and formats.
“We look forward to demonstrating the impact of using pure optics with no electronic conversions to provide flexible optical signal distribution capabilities to network operators,” said Jeff Zindel, Glimmerglass Vice President of Marketing. “Through advanced photonic technology, we have created an optical switching system that can be remotely managed via software to select and change the number of recipients for any input signal in milliseconds, with the flexibility to handle any date rate and any data format. The rapid reconfiguration capabilities of our optical management systems are unprecedented, as are the low power and compact features of the hardware.”
Glimmerglass optical switching systems enable the rapid distribution of information and the remote configuration of optical connections in milliseconds, handling data rates up to 100 Gb/s. Glimmerglass systems are the ideal solution for remotely adding, reconfiguring, and disconnecting optical connections and making system level topology changes. The systems provide a powerful tool for remotely monitoring the health of a fiber network, performing problem diagnosis, and protecting wavelengths in the event of fiber breaks or equipment failures.
