Glimmerglass Networks, the leading supplier of intelligent optical layer management solutions, today announced it will exhibit, submit a technical paper and deliver a poster presentation on the remote provisioning, monitoring and restoration of optical paths at submarine cable landing stations at SubOptic 2010, May 11-14, 2010, at the Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center in Yokohama, Japan.
As part of the System Design & Applications poster presentations on May 12, attendees can discuss Glimmerglass breakthroughs for submarine cable landing stations that ensure service continuity, reduce or eliminate outages, and avoid costly Service Level Agreement (SLA) penalties, improving customer satisfaction and reducing operating expenses.
“With submarine fiber-optic cables providing the backbone of international telecommunications, any outage caused by equipment failures or cable breaks is unacceptable, particularly when you consider the high SLA penalties incurred,” said Jeff Zindel, Glimmerglass Vice President of Marketing. “Our purely optical, photonic systems, deployed at landing stations around the world, enable operators to remotely create and reconfigure optical paths in milliseconds and perform non-intrusive, real time monitoring, fault detection and diagnosis. Our solutions dramatically improve network resiliency and reduce operating expenses for submarine cable operators.”
