[July 18, 2008] Atlantech Online Chooses LambdaDriver Wave-Division Multiplexing System Tweet (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MRV Communictions, a provider of products and services for out-of-band networking, WDM and optical transport, metro Ethernet, fiber optic components, 10GE and other service aware networking products, announced Maryland-based regional carrier Atlantech Online has chosen the LambdaDriver wave-division multiplexing (WDM) system. According to company officials, the LambdaDriver System will be used as the basis for Atlantech Online's 300-kilometer network, which delivers services to customers in the Washington D.C. area. Atlantech's customer base includes federal agencies and small and large enterprise customers. The company offers transport services, leased wavelengths, point-to-point circuits, MPLS, data center collocation and, as of the beginning of 2006, voice services. Atlantech's 300-km Gigabit Ethernet backbone ring connects its three points of presence in Arlington and Ashburn, VA, and Silver Spring, MD, which allows the company to offer its services throughout metropolitan Washington D.C. "Atlantech has grown in the face of stiff competition through its ability to be competitive, and the cost-effectiveness of the LambdaDriver enhances that ability both in services we offer today, but also in giving us the flexibility to offer services, like storage networking, that we thought were out of our reach," said Eric Van Tol, operations manager for Atlantech Online, Inc. "We've maintained profitability since day one by being able to offer advanced services through our upgradeable network, and we are optimistic that with the MRV gear in place, we will continue to do so." "Atlantech is like many of our carrier customers who are looking to offer new services for revenue growth and realizing that network flexibility and performance are crucial to this effort," said Noam Lotan, MRV president and CEO. "These are architectural traits of the LambdaDriver, not add ons, which makes the system one of the most competitive on the market today." MRV's LambdaDriver WDM platforms provide CWDM and DWDM solutions, enabling enterprises to build campus-wide backbone networks and service providers to create new revenue opportunities due to more efficient use of their existing fiber infrastructure. Atlantech Online is a business-to-business Telephone and Internet Service Provider.
