Fremont,
CA, June 10, 2004 – Optoplex announced today
the shipment of first production batch of flexible bandwidth
interleaver, FlexSlicer™.
Being
the first of its kind, FlexSlicer™ has been developed
specifically to help telecommunication carriers to ease
the migration from low to high data-rate (2.5 -> 10
Gb/s or 10 -> 40 Gb/s). With the help of FlexSlicer™,
low and high data-rate signals can co-exist in the same
infrastructure and utilize the same telecommunication
equipment. The carriers can retain the current investment
while introducing the high data-rate services with minimum
incremental cost.
Based
on Optoplex Corporation’s patented technologies,
FlexSlicer™ has superior passband and dispersion
characteristics that are particularly suitable for 40-Gb/s
data rate. A major feature of the device is that customer
has the freedom of specifying the ratio of the passband
widths for the two interleaving ports. FlexSlicer™
has passed the reliability testing based on Telcordia
GR-1221 requirements.
With
the introduction of FlexSlicer™, Optoplex Corporation
once again demonstrate its technical innovation in designing
new components to solve today’s most challenging
optical communication problems.
