Cablevision Deploys Internet Photonics' Optical Ethernet / 10 Gbps DWDM

Cablevision is deploying Internet Photonics’ Photonics’ LightStack MX and LightHandler optical Ethernet and WDM transport platform as key elements of its video on-demand network rollout. The LightStack MX is a 10 Gbps platform that can multiplex up to eight GbE services onto a single 10 Gbps wavelength. The LightHandler is an all-optical, passive DWDM management platform that can be added to existing SONET networks to add up to 320 Gbps of capacity. The equipment is used to provide a 10 Gbps DWDM optical transport infrastructure between Cablevision’s content headend and the remote distribution hubs that connect to customers. Installation is already complete in Cablevision networks in New Jersey, eastern Long Island, and the New York — Connecticut region. Financial terms were not disclosed.
