Innocor announces an OTN G.709 option module, a new multi-rate SONET/SDH module, as well as the industry’s first user configurable optics module

Atlanta, Georgia, USA – March 25, 2003 - Innocor, a leading provider of broadband transmission test equipment and semiconductor intellectual property for telecommunications today announced several new products for it's scaleable multi-port test platform.

"We are very proud of the substantial increase to our test portfolio that is being introduced at OFC this year" said Randy Gill, President of Innocor. "In direct response to the requests of our customers, we are introducing our OTN G.709 option module, a new multi-rate SONET/SDH module, as well as the industry's first user configurable optics module."

Innocor's OTN G.709 option module is a full-featured configurable option for the OC-192 (STM-64) interface test card. The multi-rate module provides the ability to select between the integrated OC-3 (STM-1), OC-12 (STM-4), OC-48 (STM-16) and GbE interface SFP equipped ports. The user configurable optics module permits users to install, configure and software control the optical components, such as attenuators and switches, etc., which are normally required to complete a test station. All of the Innocor multi-port test platform modules can be hot-inserted so no testing downtime is required to upgrade a system with these new capabilities.
