Beijing Communication Corporation (BCC), a subsidiary of China Netcom, has selected Lucent Technologies’ LambdaUnite Multi-Service Switch (MSS) and the Metropolis ADM MultiService Mux for its optical transport network. The expansion project, to be cutover by the year end, marks the first win for LambdaUnite MSS in BCC. Lucent valued the contract at several million U.S. dollars.
The LambdaUnite MSS bridges traffic between metro networks and optical core networks, connecting cities, campuses and corporate networks to larger, long-haul public networks.
The Metropolis ADM Multi-Service Multiplexer is an integrated Ethernet over SDH metro access multiplexer. It integrates 2Mbps access and cross-connect functionality for 10 Gbps applications.
