OCEANPORT, N.J., Aug. 17 -- Tellium Inc. has announced a partnership with Symmetricom Inc. to integrate Symmetricom's high-precision synchronization clocks as a standard feature within Tellium's Aurora Optical Switch. The clocks will allow optical signals frames to be aligned correctly, removing possible signal transmission errors within an optical network
Previously, customers had to build complex synchronous networks for every optical signal, said Tom Cassa, vice president of engineering for Tellium. Today, using time-tested synchronization tools provided by Symmetricom it is easier and more efficient for us to provide the highest quality optical interconnect to our customers,
Tellium is a provider of in-service intelligent optical switches based in Oceanport, N.J. Symmetricom is a San Jose, Calf.-based supplier of synchronization and timing solutions for the global communications industry.
