Products in the demonstration included user network interface, protocol-compliant optical cross-connect switches, wavelength routers, metro optical devices, IP/MPLS routers, ATM switches, SONET/SDH multiplexers and other parts of the optical transport network.
The start-up, which incorporates skills from the Photonic Networks Research Centre at the University of Essex, intends to use the capital to develop the world's first all-optical wavelength router not only scalable to Petabit capacity for core transport networks but also capable of evolving to optical packet switching.

This switch is ideal for designers of SONET-based long haul and metro optical networking equipment such as, digital cross-connect systems (DCS), optical cross-connects (OXC), wavelength routers, as well as storage area network (SAN) switches.
Twenty-five vendor companies demonstrated User Network Interface (UNI) protocol-compliant optical cross connect switches, wavelength routers, protocol conformance test suites and edge devices including metro optical devices, IP/MPLS routers, ATM switches, SONET/SDH multiplexers and other devices that interface to, or form part of, the core optical transport network.
Prior to forming the Iris Group, Zadikian, Baghdasarian and Szeto were all at Monterey Networks, the Richardson, Texas, company which pioneered the Wavelength Router and was acquired by Cisco Systems in 1999.
28, 2001 Acterna's ANT-20 Optical Transport Analyzer Remotely Tests OC-48 Via the Cisco ONS 15900 Wavelength Router Acterna, a broadband access member of the Cisco Service Provider Solutions Ecosystem, announced today a remote OC-48 test and monitoring system that combines the power of the Cisco ONS 15900 Wavelength Router(TM) with Acterna's ANT-20 analyzer for CLEC, ILEC, IXC and cable customers.
The month of February will highlight Cisco's IP+Optical innovators with products like the ONS Wavelength Router, the PXF Network Processor, the 12400 series Internet routers and more.
