UTStarcom Launches New Lines of SDH and SONET Optical Products

UTStarcom is adding new SDH and SONET product lines to its NetRing optical product family. The NetRing 600, 2500, and 10000 multi-service optical transport products deliver high-density STM-1 to STM-64, PDH (E1, E3), Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet services in SDH-based carrier networks. The NetRing TX-60, TX-160, and TX-200 multi-service provisioning platforms deliver OC-3 to OC-192, DS1, DS3/EC-1, Transmux, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet services in SONET-based networks. Both lines provide aggregation, grooming, cross-connect, and transport for SONET/SDH and Ethernet over SONET/SDH (EoS) services. All systems support full-redundancy, multiple protection options, and in-service upgrades. The platforms are based on a distributed architecture that combines Add-Drop Multiplexing (ADM), Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS), and Ethernet switching functionality into an integrated, "pay-as-you-grow" multi-service system. The NetRing products also support virtual concatenation based on ITU standards, allowing granular provisioning in any STS/VC increment; EoS protocols, such as GFP; built-in Ethernet management functionality; and statistical multiplexing capability.


UTStarcom announced that IDACOMM, an Idaho-based integrated communication provider, will deploy the NetRing TX multi-service provisioning platform to provide solutions for fiber optic broadband services in several cities throughout the western United States.
