Metrobility Optical Systems Supplies DACOM in Korea with Optical Ethernet Access Solutions

DACOM,a Korean ISP which utilizes high reliability features is using Metrobilitys optical Ethernet solutions.

Merrimack, NH-January 24, 2002-Metrobility Optical Systems today announced that DACOM, a leading telecommunications service provider in Korea, is using Metrobilitys optical Ethernet solutions to create a next generation metro Ethernet network throughout Korea.

DACOM is expanding its metro Ethernet services throughout Korea to deliver advanced new services, including video and music streaming, through scalable broadband ISP services. DACOM anticipates installing up to $200,000 worth of Metrobility product monthly over the next year.
The network will use Metrobilitys chassis-based line cards to link dual 100Mbps fiber lines at the customer concentration node to an RS3000 router at the DACOM network operation center (NOC). Metrobilitys unique management functions enables NOC staff to identify failed links, monitor optical power, initiate remote loopback testing, and dynamically allocate bandwidth.

Because the customer site may be up to 70km from the NOC, the ability to detect link failure and re-establish link without a truck roll is critical to our service commitment," states Park Young-shin, Senior Vice President of DACOMs internet business division. We have worked closely with Metrobility to design a network that provides these features in a reliable, cost-effective platform."
