Cablevision is deploying Internet Photonics' Photonics' LightStack MX and LightHandler optical Ethernet and WDM transport platform as key elements of its video on-demand network rollout. The LightStack MX is a 10 Gbps platform that can multiplex up to eight GbE services onto a single 10 Gbps wavelength. The LightHandler is an all-optical, passive DWDM management platform that can be added to existing SONET networks to add up to 320 Gbps of capacity.
