Calient networks shatters cost barrier to fiber-optic cross-connection systems.(SPECIAL FOCUS:...

Calient Networks, a supplier of carrier-class fiber-optic cross-connection systems (FOCS), announced that it has shattered the cost barriers preventing carriers from widespread implementation of remote, software-controlled fiber management needed to cope with explosive growth in their fiber networks. With significant design and manufacturing breakthroughs, Calient's new FOCS platform, called the DiamondWave FiberConnect, provides an unprecedented range of critical fiber operations functions for any size fiber plant at the same or better cost, reliability, and ease of use as the pr
