Innocor Ships G.709 OTU-2 Test Solution

Almonte, Ontario, Canada - April 25, 2003 - Innocor, a leading provider of broadband transmission and data test equipment today announced the first shipment of their G.709 OTU-2 10Gbps test solution to a major Canadian telecommunications equipment manufacturer.

"This first shipment marks a very important milestone for Innocor in our drive to provide leading edge, flexible test solutions at very affordable prices." said Randy Gill, President of Innocor. "Innocor's G.709 equipped 10G module is the only such product in the market today to offer OTU-2 testing capabilities in a high-density, multi-slot configuration with up to 16 independent OTU-2 test modules in a single 6U shelf."

This first shipment of Innocor's G.709 option will be used in the customer's manufacturing environment. Primary reasons for the selection of Innocor's G.709 OTU-2 test solution include the flexibility of the combined offering, breadth of interfaces, ease of use and cost. Innocor's multi-slot test solution is based on 3 and 17 slot rack mount systems. The G.709 OTU-2 module is a low cost, factory installed plug-in upgrade for the existing Innocor OC- 192/STM-64 SONET/SDH test modules.

Other products in the Innocor scaleable, multi-slot test portfolio include Innocor's multi-rate module which provides the ability to integrate on a single module any subset ports from OC-3/STM 1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, and Gigabit Ethernet. Also available is a user configurable Optics module that permits the integration of optical components, such as attenuators and optical switches. All of the Innocor multi-slot platform modules support hotinsertion thereby reducing system maintenance and reconfiguration downtime.
