ADVA Optical Networking is offering an latency-optimized Raman amplifier for its flagship FSP 3000 platform. The new amplifier implements counter and co-propagating Raman amplification techniques.
Whereas existing network implementations utilize higher-latency Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) to boost an optical signal before it is sent, ADVA's new Raman technology overcomes gain and power-control barriers to eliminate the use of EDFA amplification in the solution. This method of allowing amplification within the transmission fiber itself significantly reduces the quantity of amplifiers that need to be deployed throughout the overall network, which also minimizes the number of intermediate sites required along a route.
ADVA said its innovation enables faster connectivity along key financial trading routes, including Chicago to New York, London to Frankfurt and New York to Toronto.
"In our trials, we have seen the new ultra low-latency Raman amplifiers reduce equipment latency by as much as 50 percent on key financial links," said Brian Quigley, director of low-latency sales and strategy at ADVA Optical Networking. "This announcement is an example of ADVA Optical Networking's continued commitment to drive latency from high-performance networks."http://www.advaoptical.com

is launching a live video communications, sharing and messaging service to customers of its new "myTouch 4G" handset. The integrated T-Mobile Video Chat is powered by Qik, a start-up based in Redwood City, California. The service offers integration into the native Android address book with the benefit of indicating live presence. Customers can connect with friends and family through live video conversations and video messaging over T-Mobile's network and Wi-Fi.
Charter reported $240 million of income from operations in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $2.591 billion of loss in the third quarter of 2009. The change in income from operations is primarily a result of the $2.854 billion impairment of franchises in 2009 that did not recur in 2010. Net loss attributable to Charter shareholders was $95 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to a loss of $1.035 billion in the third quarter of 2009.
This anticipated revenue decline was primarily due to the impact of access line losses and lower access revenues, including the anticipated impact of wireless traffic migration, that more than offset revenue increases driven by growth in high-speed Internet customers and data transport demand from wireless providers.
