PacketLight Intros Packet-based Transport

ATLANTA, GA. -- At SUPERCOMM 2001 today, PacketLight Networks introduced the industry's first all-packet multiple services optical transport system for carriers in the metro. Based on PacketLight's recently-announced advanced Layer 1-2 architecture (patent pending), the new system delivers data/IP, voice/TDM, storage, video, ATM and all-optical in a single, all-packet fabric -- simply, efficiently and economically. The system is deployed in a new suite of hardware and network management products that works with GbE and SONET, new and emerging systems, and legacy systems. It enables carriers to simply and profitably deliver any type of existing or future network service to their business customers via any optical network. The PacketLight product suite includes an optical networking metro service collection system, called SiteLight, and a high-end transport sorting and aggregation system, CentraLight. It also includes two network management systems (NMSs) -- BrowseLight and ControLight --that enable carriers to fully exploit SiteLight and CentraLight functionality and perform management tasks in a fast, convenient and reliable manner.
