PMC-Sierra (Nasdaq:PMCS) has introduced the PM5364 TUPP 2488, an industry standard, tributary unit pointer processor and cross-connect for OC-48 SONET and STM-16 SDH networks.

CROSS-CONNECT BAY features cable management and up to 216 modules in one bay.

As a stand-alone product the CrossLight photonic cross-connect will, according to Alcatel, offer the world's largest capacity levels in addition to reducing carrier and service provider network costs by up to 40%.

A new generation of managed optical cross-connect systems route huge volumes of network traffic, while adapting dynamically to changing traffic patterns and customer needs.

Growth in the core and metro optical transport segments is expected to be robust, with the optical cross-connect space characterized by a moderate increase," notes the analyst of this research service.

The six segment are Core DWDM, Metro WDM, Optical Cross-Connect, Digital Cross-Connect, Multiservice Provisioning Platform, SONET/SDH Add-Drop Multiplexers.

They include: --Innovative designs that drive efficiencies associated with moves, adds and changes --Increased network flexibility and reliability --Support of higher bandwidth delivery to subscribers --Lower carrier operational expenditures and maintenance costs ADC is currently unveiling two new solutions that support its automated connectivity initiatives: the OmniReach(TM) Automated Copper Cross-Connect (ACX) System, and the ADX Active Digital Cross-Connect System.
