CIENA Teams with Telcordia on EoS, OSS Integration

CIENA and Telcordia Technologies are jointly developing and delivering solutions to help ILECs introduce and manage Ethernet services over their existing network infrastructures. The collaboration aims to establish Operations Support Systems (OSS) features to support the cost-effective deployment of advanced Ethernet-over-SONET services, specifically those enabled by CIENA's CN 2600 Multiservice Edge Aggregator. The companies said they are co-investing in numerous enhancements for SONET Virtual Concatenation enabling dynamic inventory management, alarm notification and automated flow-through provisioning of capacity for Ethernet services. http://www.ciena.comhttp://www.telcordia.com
