Glimmerglass Adds Switches

HAYWARD, Calif. -- Glimmerglass, the leading provider of Intelligent Optical Switches for light stream management, introduces the Glimmerglass System 600, a low profile, high density system at the OFC/NFOEC 2006 show (booth 2565), in Anaheim, CA next week. At half the height of the current product line or less, the new product line is a dramatic improvement for developers of both commercial networks and mission-critical systems for government and defense.

Glimmerglass developed the System 600 for size and power-constrained environments that require reliable, remotely controlled management. Housed in a 4 rack unit (RU) chassis and operating with less power than a light bulb, the new System 600 supports a range of ports up to 160x160 with integrated optical power level monitoring, variable optical attenuation, photonic multicasting, and more.

“Our new System 600 model is perfect for system integrators seeking remotely-controlled, light stream management in both defense and telecommunications applications,” said Glimmerglass CEO Robert Lundy. “This product establishes a new industry benchmark for optical switches. It’s a significant contribution to the industry.”
