ATLANTA, June 7 -- Atrica Inc., provider of optical Ethernet equipment for the metro market, announced it will reference-sell its products with FlexLight Networks, a last-mile technology developer. The companies recently completed initial tests to ensure interoperability between Atrica's optical Ethernet system and FlexLight's gigabit passive optical networking (GPON) solution.
"The development of last mile access technology is something we've watched with great interest over the past few years," said Michael Fox, vice president of business development and consulting engineering for Atrica. "With its innovative GPON solution, FlexLight has developed a very cost-effective way to break the bottleneck that exists in the last mile and, when used in combination with Atrica's Optical Ethernet System, can offer carriers a comprehensive solution for delivery of Ethernet-based services to business customers."
