UTStarcom Supplies Optical Gear to Japan Telecom

Japan Telecom, a wholly owned subsidiary of SOFTBANK, awarded a contract to UTStarcom covering its NetRing 10000 STM-64 multiservice optical transport solution. The equipment will be used in the construction of a new fixed-line network to deliver high-speed broadband, voice and video services to its subscribers. The network ultimately will serve all of Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south.


UTStarcom's NetRing product family combines Add-Drop Multiplexing (ADM), Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS), Ethernet switching, ATM multiplexing and RPR functionality into an integrated, "pay-as-you-grow" multi-service system. NetRing products are designed to perform aggregation, grooming, cross-connect, and transport functions to deliver high-density STM-1 to STM-64, PDH (E1/DS1, E3/DS3), Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and ATM services in SDH-based carrier networks.
