Springfield, Va. -- April 30, 2007 -- Cornet Technology Communications (CTC), the network communications solutions division of Cornet Technology, Inc. (CTI) (www.cornet.com), introduced its ClearWave product at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) Technology Showcase at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Customer Partnership Conference 2007. ClearWave is an all-optical fiber switch capable of remotely managing optical networks. The solution eliminates the need to change fibers manually from port to port. ClearWave is available in three scaleable configurations 96 by 96, 192 by 192 and 320 by 320 input and outputs.
Interested parties are invited to meet with Cornet Technology representatives at the show, April 30 - May 2, 2007 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. Cornet Technology will be exhibiting at booth #551.
ClearWave supports remote fiber connection and redistribution, remote monitoring and testing, and rapid fault isolation and repair in a network operations environment. The switch reliably connects light between input and output fibers using beam collimators, devices used to straighten and make divergent light parallel as it exits a fiber, and 3-dimensional Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) mirror arrays as a switch engine. With MEMS technology, ClearWave switches connections over fiber regardless of protocol or wavelength and through data rates of 40G/OC-768. ClearWave is managed through a graphical user interface (GUI) or a Single Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manager. The GUI facilitates the tracking of various information including connection location, optical power and connection time length.
Mike Hardesty, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Cornet Technology Communications division, said, “ClearWave addresses the need for a scaleable, highly reliable, reconfigurable and easily manageable optical switching solution. The product combines redundant configuration and easily automated fiber network growth and redistribution via remote control. ClearWave provides an efficient, cost-effective solution, reducing configuration errors and operating costs, while increasing network performance.”
