| By monitoring and controlling traffic at the optical level for continuous network optimizations, Mitsubishi Electric Optical Cross connect enables overall equipment costs in the backbone network to be slashed at a stroke. Preproduction units built on our developments in optical devices and transmission engineering have already been undergoing verification at interoperability functions. |

Automatic dispersion control permits optical path selection:
|
 |
Signaling: GMPLS; Extension: RSVP-TE |
 |
Routing: GMPLS; Extension: OSPF-TE |
 |
Link Management: LMP |

Mitsubishi's patented "bascule" optical switch facilitates all-optical transmission, featuring:
|
1. Low Loss:
Less than 8.7 dB loss in a 16x16 matrix due to the direct make-break
optical waveguide switch implementation. |
 |
 |
2. Low Cost:
The waveguide is made from low-cost, bulk-produced polyimide. |
 |
3. High Speed:
The polymer switch
actuator operates within 0.13ms. |
 |
4. High Reliability:
No matching
oil etc. required: 10,000,000 switching cycles verified
in testing. |
