ATLANTA -- FlexLight Networks, a developer of optical access networking solutions, announced today the unveiling of its optical access platform, a suite of products specifically tailored to address the bandwidth and provisioning needs of service providers. Based in Atlanta with research and development offices in Israel, the optical company’s leading solution conquers last-mile bandwidth bottlenecks and optimizes service flexibility – supporting both voice and data in their native formats.Explained FlexLight CEO Ron Shilon, “Today’s metro optical networks were put in place in downtown cities to service large businesses with high-speed Ethernet or other data services along with TDM services like DS-1. Service providers are now struggling to find economical and efficient solutions to provision those same voice and data services to businesses located miles away from the metro rings in suburban locations. FlexLight’s Optimate product line readily addresses those issues by economically and efficiently provisioning Ethernet and DS-1 services to business located many miles from the nearest Central Office.”FlexLight’s state of the art platform serves as the backbone of the Access Layer. The solution enables transport of various existing, as well as emerging, protocols over complex topologies – while at the same time providing one of the most cost effective solutions to the service provider. This new Access environment employs a high-speed optical transport layer aimed to support any existing emerging service in its native format. This is achieved through the use of optical transport technologies such as WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexers) and OADM (Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers). At the same time, the solution is able to maintain the service required Quality Of Service (QoS). The solution’s ability to economically cater to the operators' exact requirements by providing dynamic and reliable convergence of voice, video and data over a transparent Access layer makes FlexLight’s platform the ideal solution.FlexLight Networks
