Internet Photonics and Jedai Broadband Enter Cable Partnership

Internet Photonics and Jedai Broadband Networks have formed a partnership aimed at cable operators. The alliance combines Internet Photonics' LightStack family of Optical Ethernet multi-service switching and transport products and the Jedai FrontRunner 3200 Access Switch Router family. The Jedai FrontRunner 3200 supports 10/100BaseT, 100BaseFX, T1/E1 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. At a cable operators' hub, Internet Photonic's LightStack MX or LightStack GSLAM can aggregate or switch the traffic of several FrontRunner 3200 access systems for transport to other hubs or to the headend - even contention-free over the same wavelength carrying video traffic. At the headend, the LightStack GSLAM can switch traffic between hubs, to other headends, to backbone switch/routers, or to another FrontRunner 3200 for T1 termination. Both companies are based in New Jersey.
