Lucent to Resell Movaz Metro Optical Solutions

Lucent Technologies will sell next generation metro optical networking solutions under its Metropolis brand based on technology from Movaz Networks. The Lucent-branded solutions will be integrated into Lucent's existing optical networking portfolio, including the Metropolis Enhanced Optical Networking (EON), a 32-channel metro DWDM system. Lucent's Navis Optical Management System will support the new solutions by reducing the complexities of the network, simplifying operations and service provisioning, and enhancing service quality. Lucent Worldwide Services (LWS) will support the solutions with network design, deployment and maintenance services.


"This relationship is another example of Lucent's willingness to team with others to strengthen our offers," said Ken Wirth, president, Optical Networking Group, Lucent Technologies. http://www.lucent.comhttp://www.movaz.comOver the past year, Lucent has announced technology partnerships or resale agreements with Juniper Networks (IP routing gear), Broadsoft (VoIP), Salira (EPONs), Sun Microsystems (converged voice/data solutions), McData (SANs) and Cisco Systems (packet data and media gateway products for mobile operators).
