The explosion of video and other Internet data is driving the demand for flexible, high-bandwidth networks. Photonic switching is a reliable and cost-effective solution for these networks because the technology is transparent to data speed, and is protocol agnostic, thus it offers very high bandwidth and configuration flexibility. As the global leader in Adaptive Photonic Switching, CALIENT Technologies offers a variety of government, service provider and data center solutions.
Government & Intelligence
For government agencies, photonic switches add a measure of security to the fiber interconnect applications. There is no converting of the data stream to electrical signals, as in OEO switches, thus the switch can’t be targeted as a place to intercept data.
Service Providers
CALIENT’s 3D MEMS technology provides the automated fiber interconnect and management infrastructure for a range of Service Provider applications including Cloud Computing, Next Generation Data Centers, and Colorless Directionless Contentionless (CDC) ROADMs
Data Center & Cloud Computing
With its FiberConnect 320X platform, CALIENT can deliver the throughput and the connectivity to provide automated fiber interconnect infrastructure for a large number of cloud computing applications, ranging from carrier hotels, to Ethernet peering points to hosted content centers.
