Arris and Cisco Team on Multi Wavelength Standardization

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Arris and Cisco have unveiled their joint proposal for the technical
criteria supporting multi-wavelength optical networks at the SCTE
technical committee.

With the wide variety of solutions being offered across the supplier
community, Arris and Cisco believe these technical criteria will help
ensure that operators will receive robust, reliable and cost effective
system solutions. The solutions being offered by both companies will
help enable expanded optical transport capacity for existing HFC
networks or within Greenfield deployments. More information on these
systems is available at their respective booths (Arris: 2050 and Cisco:
550) at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo.

"This collaboration demonstrates the industry coming together to work
toward a common goal of standardization. By identifying the limitations
and common solutions for multi-wavelength transmission, we are
improving cost efficiencies and paving the way for interoperability,"
said Mark Palazzo, vice president, general manager, Cisco Access
Networks. "With so many parts involved, standardization helps us
achieve commonality, fueling the continued growth and evolution of the


industry."

"We are hoping to generate open standards-based products and solutions
that support cable as it competes with telco and satellite providers,"
said John Caezza, President of Arris Access, Transport & Supplies.
"When vendors work together to lower the costs of technology and speed
its time-to-market, then the entire industry wins."
