The Metro Ethernet Forum certifies iConverter fiber access equipment for next-generation Ethernet networks.

Irvine, California, USA January 26, 2007 – Omnitron Systems Technology, a leading provider of fiber optic access systems for next generation Ethernet networks, today announced that the iConverter platform has been certified compliant to the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) 14 conformance and certification test process. The test process is performed by Iometrix, Inc., a leading independent testing lab, on behalf of the MEF.

MEF 14 provides clear specifications-based guidelines for the formulation of Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and is a major step toward making Ethernet truly carrier-grade. MEF 14 covers “Service Performance” and “Bandwidth Profiles”—two sets of MEF service attributes. The first set encompasses three service performance attributes relating to Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVC): Frame delay, Frame delay variation and frame loss ratio. The second set follows the familiar example of Frame Relay and includes four bandwidth profile attributes: Committed Information Rate (CIR), Committed Burst Size (CBS), Excess Information Rate (EIR), and Excess Burst Size (EBS).

The Metro Ethernet Forum certifies iConverter fiber access equipment for next-generation Ethernet networks.

Irvine, California, USA and Excel Convention Centre, London, UK, June 25, 2006 – Omnitron Systems Technology, a leading provider of fiber optic access systems for next-generation Ethernet networks, today announced that the iConverter platform has passed the official MEF 9 UNI (User Network Interface) conformance and certification test process. The conformance and certification test process is performed by Iometrix, Inc., a leading independent testing lab, on behalf of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). Ethernet service providers now have formal assurance that the popular iConverter platform conforms to key MEF standards for Metro Ethernet UNI services and operations.

The iConverter platform passed all three portions of the MEF 9 test suite, including Ethernet Private Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line and Ethernet LAN services. Private Line and Virtual Private Line services provide point-to-point Ethernet connectivity, while Ethernet LAN services are used to interconnect multiple sites. These services are typically used by bandwidth hungry business customers for voice, video and data connectivity between facilities, campuses and remote sites

The waiting is over. There's a race to bring bandwidth to home and small businesses. The headlong rush knows no national boundaries, either. The "gold standard" is fiber to the home. In new construction, that's what we get. In overbuilt situations, there's a mix, depending on geography or existing infrastructure. But without exception, the existing infrastructure is being tweaked for more bandwidth by replacing it with fiber that creeps ever closer to its final destination - your living room. The BP 100 companies make it happen. Without them there would be no broadband revolution.

The BB 100 companies are a diverse group. Two are startups, just beginning to generate sales. The largest on the list is Verizon, which had revenue last year of $71 billion and income of $13 billion.

New fiber converters enable delivery of data, voice, and video services at a fraction of the cost of conventional VLAN switch equipment.

Irvine, CA, May 3, 2004 -- Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc., the premier manufacturer of fiber media converters for First-Mile Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Enterprise LAN applications, debuts three new VLAN iConverter managed media converters. The new modules support the IEEE 803.1Q VLAN tagging, the 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization and feature port access and bandwidth controls enabling Service Providers to economically deliver data, voice and video over Ethernet in Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) applications.

The VLAN, QoS and Bandwidth Control features enable Service Providers to tune their service offerings effectively to meet their user's needs.
