OIF at OFC 2003
March 25 - 27
World Georgia Congress Center
Atlanta, GA, USA
OIF Interoperability Demonstrations
Twenty-four OIF members participated in the interoperability demo of the UNI/NNI and Physical Link Layer (PLL) protocols.
The following companies displayed interoperability between six electrical and optical interfaces on the PLL side: AMCC, Big Bear Networks, Intel, iolon, Multiplex, Inc., NEC, Network Elements, Santur Corporation, Tyco Electronics, Velio, Vitesse and Xilinx. Tektronics and Agilent Technologies supported the event with their optical test equipment.
The twelve companies that demonstrated for the first time the integrated UNI/NNI solution are: Alcatel, Avici Systems, Ciena Corporation, Data Connection, Elematics, Mahi Networks, Motorola, NEC, Nortel Networks, Sycamore Networks, Tellabs and Tellium.
