TEL AVIV -- Orckit Communications Ltd. (NasdaqGM:ORCT - News), a leading Carrier Ethernet + Transport (CE+T) networking vendor, today announced it has successfully participated in the Carrier Ethernet World Congress multi-vendor interoperability testing event, organized by the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC). Orckit-Corrigent participated with its full CE+T product portfolio, including the CM-4314, CM-4206, CM-4140, CM-11, and CM-View Network Management System. The solution interoperability tests focused on IP/MPLS and MPLS-TP technologies, and Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) and synchronization capabilities.

Orckit-Corrigent’s CM-4000 metro aggregation switches, part of the company’s CE+T solution, are designed to deliver packet-based services and to help telecommunication service providers migrate their existing TDM traffic to the fast growing, data-oriented, Carrier Ethernet networks. This makes interoperability between Orckit-Corrigent’s products and other vendor systems crucial.

“We are particularly pleased to see Orckit-Corrigent participate in EANTC’s interoperability event in such a comprehensive manner, demonstrating a wide set of interoperability tests across their entire product portfolio,” said Carsten Rossenhoevel, Managing Director at European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC). “As Carrier Ethernet networks continue to evolve, telecommunication operators require interoperability in their selected solutions.”
