Chelmsford, Mass. - Sycamore Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCMR), a leader in intelligent bandwidth management solutions for fixed line and mobile network operators worldwide, today announced that PT Indosat has selected the Company's DNX Multiservice Switching Platform and ENvision Plus Network Management System to cost-efficiently scale its network infrastructure in response to growing demand for broadband voice and data services. PT Indosat, a leading telecommunication and information service provider in Indonesia, selected the S-DNX multiservice cross-connect system to support service capacity expansion in its access network infrastructure. The Sycamore S-DNX solution, sold through the Company's local distribution partner Nera Telecommunications Ltd., provides industry-leading service interface density in a highly compact and expandable bandwidth management system designed for maximum service availability. "We are very pleased to partner with NeraTel to deliver this high-performance multiservice switching solution to one of Asia's leading service providers," said Daniel E. Smith, president and chief executive officer, Sycamore Networks. "As new end-user applications drive demand for network capacity, the S-DNX will allow PT Indosat to optimize its access network for reliable and scalable service growth." The S-DNX is a high-capacity cross-connect that supports up to 2,304 E1 ports, 2,688 T1 ports, 128 E3 ports, 96 T3 ports, 32 STM-1/OC-3 ports, or 2,560 data ports, expanding the overall switch fabric capacity by a factor of four compared to the DNX-88 system. The S-DNX allows granular growth as the network evolves. By adding groups of S-DNX switching and I/O module resources on an as-needed basis, network operators maintain maximum control over how and when they make infrastructure investments. The ENvision Plus Network Management System works with the S-DNX to automate and simplify connection provisioning, improve network resiliency via automated path protection, streamline event and alarm management processes through filtering tools, and provide visual test access and line diagnostics.
