New single-fiber technology doubles the capacity of fiber optic cabling for LAN and Metropolitan (MAN) Network applications.
Irvine, CA, May 6, 2002 – Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc., a premiere manufacturer of fiber media converters for Enterprise LAN and Metropolitan Area Networks, announced today the iConverter Single Fiber (SF) managed media converters. Targeting the needs of ISP’s and enterprise network users, the iConverter SF allows users to double the fiber capacity of single-mode fiber optic cable and extend trunk distances over fiber to 40 km. Live demonstrations of the new SF models can be seen at the Networld+Interop show May 7-9, 2002, in booth #1956 and the Spring BICSI event May 6-9, 2002, in booth #74. Both events are held in Las Vegas for telecommunications and network professionals.
The SF technology permits two individual channels to utilize a single fiber, which doubles the capacity of the installed fiber.
The cost savings allow providers to add new users without the costs associated with adding fiber. The single-strand iConverter fiber converters are available for Ethernet 10, 100, 10/100, T1, E1 and OC-3 technologies.
The iConverter line features remote diagnostic features that provide quick fault detection, isolation and reporting. An LED display on each unit provides immediate visual status of each iConverter port.
The iConverter line is SNMP managed through Omnitron's NetOutlook™ stand-alone network management or through standard SNMP software like HP OpenView. The management feature enables the service provider to remotely configure or diagnose technical issues while minimizing the number of costly customer premise service calls. The management agent generates traps reporting special events such as module insertion or removal, link-up or down, powers and temperature range violations.
The diagnostic and management features of the iConverter, combined with its single fiber technology, make it an easy-to-install, easy-to-manage and cost effective solution for deployment in any metropolitan or enterprise network.
Availability
The single-strand iConverter fiber converters are available now for 10, 100, 10/100, T1, E1 and OC-3 technologies. Converters are housed in a 19-unit, a 2-unit, or a single-unit chassis with AC or DC redundant power supplies. Pricing varies based on chassis and module type.
