Lucent to Build Optical Network for Beijing Communication Corp.

Beijing Communication Corporation (BCC), a subsidiary of China Netcom, awarded a contract valued at tens of millions of dollars to Lucent Technologies to build an optical network connecting the suburbs of Beijing. Specifically, Lucent will supply its Metropolis ADM MultiService Mux, WaveStar ADM16/1, Navis Optical Dynamic Network Analyzer (DNA), Navis Optical Network Management System, and WaveStar ITM-SC to construct 10G optical rings for BCC. The Lucent Metropolis ADM serves as an Ethernet-over-SDH multiplexer and integrates with BCC's existing infrastructure. The product integrates 2Mbps access and cross-connect functionality for 10 Gbps applications. Lucent said the contract marks the first win for the Metropolis ADM in Beijing.
