OSM207 Ethernet
Demarcation and OS9000 Metro Ethernet Aggregation Series Demonstrated
Multipoint Ethernet Services Interoperability at MPLS World Congress in Paris
CHATSWORTH, CA – February 8, 2006 – MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Nasdaq: MRVC), a leading 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, today successful
demonstrate its Virtual
Private LAN Services (VPLS) and MPLS Ethernet aggregation and Ethernet
demarcation interoperability on both its
OptiSwitch Master 207 (OSM207) and
a href="http://www.interlinkweb.com/systemics/Products.asp?vendorKey=MRV&familyKEY=MRVOS&subfamilyKEY=MRVSWITCH">OptiSwitch 9000 (OS9000) series as part of the MPLS & Frame Relay Alliance
Interoperability Demonstration at MPLS World Congress, Paris 2006.
The demonstration is one of the industry’s first interoperability events to
showcase H-VPLS and VPLS Multipoint Ethernet Service. H-VPLS extends the capabilities of
VPLS, allowing carriers to further optimize their networks for triple-play
Ethernet services.
“Our continued successful demonstration of MPLS point to point Ethernet services
and VPLS Multipoint Ethernet Services interoperability using the
OS9000 and
OSM207 series shows MRV’s commitment to increase the scalability of carrier
Ethernet networks and enhanced the reliability of Ethernet services. Being
certified by organizations such as the MFA, EANTC and Metro Ethernet Forum
validates our commitment to providing truly service enabler solutions for
optical access and metro networks.” said Chen Genossar, Senior Vice President
for MRV Communications.
MRV’s OptiSwitch 9000s are the first carrier-class Ethernet aggregation routers
that integrated optical Ethernet connectivity, provision enhanced MPLS Ethernet
services, and aggregate WDM optical transport. OS9000 series offer enhanced
optical Ethernet services for triple-play voice, video and data networks and
Ethernet carriers. The router series is used to aggregate FTTX or DSLAM devices
and provision flow-based and application-aware QoS, per subscriber enhanced
security and physical layer to service layer end-to-end multilayer management
capabilities for optimal carrier Ethernet aggregation solutions.
The OSM207 VPLS Ethernet demarcation series was one of the first metro Ethernet
compliant products as certified by the Metro Ethernet Forum. It is a compact
carrier-class metro Ethernet demarcation platform support EPL, EVPL and E-LAN
Ethernet services. TheOSM207 enables the delivery of differentiated metro
Ethernet services thanks to built-in support for dynamic QoS and intelligent
service enabler features.
The OSM207 is ideal for service providers seeking to deliver profitable business
services, such as point-to-point and Multipoint VPNs Ethernet services, over a
variety of bandwidths and with different service-level agreements (SLAs).
