Welcome

The Internet infrastructure is being strained by the emergence of video sharing, gaming, 3-D video and other data‐intensive consumer applications. “Raising the hood” to uncover what is powering these new applications, tens of thousands or even millions of fiber optic “wires” transport data between massive numbers of high-speed switches, routers, servers and storage devices. This part of the network is traditionally referred to as “layer-0” or “the physical layer".

Existing management systems effectively monitor and automate electronic network elements within layers 1 through 7 of the network. In contrast, optical interconnect elements within layer-0, being purely optical and electrically passive, form a “phantom” network whose status and management are relegated to manual records, massive numbers of truck rolls, visual inspection and disparate database records. The development of automated physical layer management solutions is increasingly critical to ensure reliable and efficient operations.

To adress these challenges, Telescent has developed complete, automated interconnect systems to achieve an unprecedented level of performance and efficiency in network operations.
