Lightchip announced that it will demonstrate remote wavelength management in a high-channel count metro DWDM optical network environment during this week's Supercomm 2001. Held at booth 159D, the demonstration will feature two Lightchip OWR4010 optical wavelength routers transporting 40 100-GHz ITU spaced channels across 60 km of fiber while being monitored by two Lightchip optical wavelength managers that feed vital wavelength information to four computer locations -- two local, two remote.
