Touch America Is First To Deploy Nortel's OPTera Connect HDX Optical Switch
📅 - Touch America, a national fiber-optic network and broadband products and services company, has signed an agreement to implement the new OPTera Connect HDX Optical Switches from Nortel Networks. The agreement announced at Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) 2002, makes Touch America (tamerica.com) Nortel's (nortelnetworks.com) first OPTera customer.
Deploying OPTera Connect HDX at several sites within its existing network, Touch America will take advantage of immediate and significant operational savings by reducing manual tasks associated with cross-connections, and by consolidating racks of switching gear into smaller cabinets that require less space and energy. OPTera Connect HDX will allow Touch America to optimize its existing network, and to increase network bandwidth in cost-effective increments.
"By deploying OPTera Connect HDX, Touch America is once again leading the charge in bringing the most advanced, tested technology to its broadband network, as they did in 1996 when they were the first to implement our 10 gigabits per second solution," said Brian McFadden, president, Optical Long Haul Networks, Nortel Networks.
Part of Nortel Networks next generation Optical Long Haul portfolio, OPTera Connect HDX is redefining the economics of networking through innovative technologies that drive the industry's lowest cost-per-connected-bit of information, whether data, voice or multimedia.
"OPTera Connect HDX has the capability to save 45 percent in capital expenses and 55 percent in operating expenses, including space and power consumption savings of up to 80 percent over equivalent solutions today," said McFadden.
