A Nokia sale of mobile, especially to the US, would be nuts
Nokia's hiring of Intel's Justin Hotard to be its new CEO has set tongues wagging again about a mobile exit, but it would look counterintuitive and inadvisable.
CityStream bandwidth manager system tested at National Semiconductor laboratory and Litton Interconnect Technologies
January 8, 2001
ALLEN, Texas, & SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- An independent test laboratory and a third-party supplier have both validated that Metro-Optix’s CityStream bandwidth manager system achieves a backplane bandwidth capability of 820 gigabits per second (Gbps), making it the best in its class for metropolitan optical networking equipment. The tests were conducted at the National Semiconductor laboratory and at Litton Interconnect Technologies, and the results were announced today.
The test results dramatically conclude that CityStream - the industry’s only pure, protocol-agile bandwidth manager - can achieve a backplane speed that will groom more than three times the number of STS-1s, or DS3s, than leading competitors. Other systems considered state-of-the-art today claim no more than 480 Gbps. The results also validate Metro-Optix’s forward-looking decisions on its backplane technology selections.
“We have been promoting the power and capacity of CityStream, and these independent and third-party tests validate everything we’ve been saying,” said Kris Shankar, chief technology officer of Metro-Optix. “We offer a superior product, with a smaller footprint, at a lower cost. Competitors may claim it, but we’re doing it, and we have test results to prove it.”
