Sprint had sued in 2012, saying Comcast violated two patents Sprint had on fiber-optic SONET technology. Jonathan Fickies Bloomberg News A federal jury awarded Sprint $27.6 million Friday in a ...

The company described the technology, dubbed Intelligent Edge, as combining the flexibility of datacom with the resiliency of SONET/SDH. Multilink said it expects to announce its first products using ...

A metropolitan area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN) transport technology that carries IP packets directly over SONET transmission without any data link facility such as ATM in between ...

This contributes to an increase in cost and complexity. Storage-over-SONET technology reduces the number of channels, which helps to avoid optical layer complexity.

The MEF sees Sonet as a broadly deployed legacy technology and expects Ethernet to initially be used to carry data traffic over Sonet transport mechanisms then move to TDM traffic over Ethernet. The ...

Video over IP is the delivery of video and audio (usually compressed) over packetized networks using Internet Protocol (IP). (See Figure 1.) Video over IP is directly tied to the history of the ...

Three of the patents involved Ciena's Asynchronous Transfer Mode switching features, while two focused on its wave division multiplexing technology. A sixth patent centered on Ciena's Sonet ...

Current MANs are built using SONET technology. Designed originally for low-speed, circuit-switched traffic, SONET running at 10G bit/sec is proving too costly and inflexible to carry the vast ...

The Orion family of processors essentially marries the Sonet technology, or the traditional phone network, with Ethernet, the basis for corporate networks, making a high-speed network.
