Configuration Tool Targeted at Fiber-optic Networks

(Product News, 6 Aug 2008)

Aspen Optics is launching a configuration tool for system integrators (SI) and internet service providers (ISP) to generate solutions for fiber network connection. Capable of giving instant recommendations on how to connect fiber networks, the industry-first configuration tool is expected to revolutionize the way network engineers work, dramatically speeding up tasks that previously involve unnecessary trial and error. Network quality and cost-effectiveness is ensured with the best options for connection being generated automatically.

The tool, known as Aspen Optical Ethernet Configurator, is now available and is open to public usage. Users only need to choose the switch models they wish to connect and the distance between. The configuration engine will automatically recommend the best options to connect based on customer input. For every situation, the tool will fully consider the specifications of that piece of hardware, compatibility, interoperability, transmission mode and the distance to be connected. The tool is an extremely valuable guide under multiple-vendor environment.
