CHATSWORTH, CA — MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Nasdaq: MRVC), a leading provider of products and services for WDM and optical transport, metro Ethernet, fiber optic components, 10GE, out-of-band networking and other optical networking products, today announced the TereScope® TS-10GE, the industry’s first wireless 10-Gigabit Ethernet system.
The system will make its public debut at MRV’s booth at Interop (# 459), which runs from April 27 – May 2 in Las Vegas. The system has already been named a “Best of Interop” Finalist in the Wireless and Mobility category.
The line-of-sight TereScope provides enterprises and service providers with a cost-effective and high-bandwidth wireless solution for extending backbone networks between multiple buildings without a need for rights-of-way or a fiber-optic cable plant.
The patented TereScope TS-10GE has a range of up to 850 meters in clear weather. It connects to the LAN using a XFP interface with physical-layer and wavelength flexibility and distances up to 10 kilometers. The TereScope TS-10GE can be connected to an MRV 100 Mb RF solution for back up in the event of heavy fog.
“The TereScope TS-10GE fills a void for enterprises moving to 10Gig Ethernet backbones, because it gives them the ability to cost-effectively extend their networks between buildings without dropping down to a lower speed solution,” said Noam Lotan, president and CEO of MRV Communications. “The TereScope TS-10GE also complements MRV’s OptiSwitch 930 10-Gigabit Ethernet demarcation device, allowing us to give carriers a full complement of access products at 10-Gigabit speeds.”
