Optelian Expands Outside Plant Portfolio
with Extended Temperature Products
Optical networking solution provider
Optelian announced an expansion of
its portfolio for outside plant (OSP)
environments, including a range of
optical fiber amplifiers (OFAs) and dispersion
compensation modules (DCMs), each supporting
extended temperature operation.
The addition of these products broadens
Optelian’s existing OSP solution significantly.
Optelian solutions deliver services across
regional, metro and local networks. Service
providers choose Optelian for its expertise in
delivering a portfolio of products for the optical
transport market, its organizational focus on
partnering with customers throughout the life-
cycle of the network, and its full service imple-
mentation encompassing design, deployment,
sustaining services and consulting capabilities.
The company’s extensive portfolio of GR-3108
OSP-rated products includes the compact
OMS-2190 shelf, the family of transponder/regen-
erator cards, the FLX-1610 muxponder, pluggable
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules, passive mux/
demux shelves, and a full set of compact passive
modules delivering splitter, mux/demux and optical
add-drop multiplexing (OADM) functionality.
This addition to the portfolio allows opera-
tors to expand their WDM footprint across their
entire service area. Service providers can now
extend their reach, deploy fiber to the premises
(FTTx), interconnect communities, deploy mobile
backhaul solutions, and support centralized RAN
(C-RAN) and small cell common public radio
interface-based interconnect in the metro.
These revenue-generating deployments are
made possible with Optelian’s OSP-rated prod-
ucts, the low acquisition cost as well as the low
operational cost.
The Optelian infrastructure is designed to
operate without operator intervention or site visits,
which is key to low total cost of ownership.
Optelian’s OFA-1700 and OFA-2000 series
of amplifiers are certified for extended tempera-
ture range operation. And the company offers its
DMS family of passive dispersion compensation
modules, packaged into the smallest enclosure
available in the industry.
These DCMs are compatible with 100 GHz
and 50 GHz channel spacing and with coherent
and non-coherent transceivers. With the addi-
tion of these products, the portfolio provides a
complete low-cost small-footprint solution for
OSP applications.
“These new products build on our solid foun-
dation of products that are already in the field
providing connectivity to service endpoints in a
variety of environments,” Vice President of Sales
Dave Mills said. “Customers rely on Optelian’s
proven ability to develop a versatile and effective
range of products, and work closely with them
to engineer the most cost-effective network to
fit their needs. These OSP amplifiers and DCMs
complete the end-to-end solution, extending the
proven portfolio capabilities of providing services
in challenging locations.”
These OFAs and DCMs join Optelian’s portfolio
of NEBS-certified products. Network operators with
Optelian’s NEBS and extended temperature rated
products benefit from carrier-grade quality solu-
tions in the central office, aggregation sites and
remote locations, wherever service is required.
Optelian is a full-service provider of optical
networking solutions that move customer data
reliably. Its comprehensive portfolio of products
provide a dynamic infrastructure that delivers
multiprotocol services.

from access to core, passive to packet, and 100M
to 100G. Optelian provides the transport infrastruc-
ture – the foundation for packet networks.

sional services ensure networks are planned
and deployed optimally. The service offerings,
coupled with 24x7 customer technical support,

Nashville-based Equinox Information
Systems reported that ,
one of the largest providers of cloud,
premises-based and hybrid business telephony
and unified communications (UC) solutions, has
expanded its licensing of the Protector fraud
management system (FMS), adding the Case
Manager Portal (CMP) application.
CMP’s streamlined web tools allow analysts
to investigate alerts and research fraud inci-
dents from any browser-enabled device for
more efficient response time.
Equinox initially established a relationship
with ShoreTel in 2009, when it deployed the
automated Protector FMS to identify suspi-
cious, abusive or otherwise fraudulent activity.
As part of the company’s ongoing efforts,
ShoreTel deployed the Protector system and
became an active participant in Equinox’s
annual fraud symposium.
Based on the positive results achieved with
Equinox, ShoreTel recently added the CMP
application to its fraud management arsenal.
“The Equinox team is a real pleasure to
work with and very responsive to our needs,”
said ShoreTel’s Manager of System Engi-
neering (VOIP) Slava Kosoy. At ShoreTel, we
not only provide our customers technologically
advanced solutions, but we also offer them
flexible choices that can adapt to changing
needs. Equinox truly understands and
supports this mission.”
Protector, the most installed fraud manage-
ment system in the United States, is a
comprehensive, scalable solution that distin-
guishes communications fraud from legitimate
customer usage to help combat even the
newest fraud schemes.
Processing hundreds of millions of call records
per day for customers worldwide, Protector has
earned a reputation as a reliable and cost-effective
solution by saving carriers hundreds of millions of
dollars in annual fraud losses.
“We have enjoyed working with ShoreTel
these past seven years and are pleased with their
continued trust in Equinox,” said Equinox Execu-
tive Vice President David West. “The enhance-
ments we made as part of this most recent
project clearly demonstrate our ability to meet the
evolving needs of our customers.” o
