MRV CEO Joins Industry Leaders At World Innovation Summit
September 17th, 2009
Noam Lotan Shares Insight through Panel on Breakthrough Technology and Next-Gen Communications
CHATSWORTH, CA – Sept. 16, 2009 – MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC., (Pink Sheets: MRVC), today announced that its chief executive officer, Noam Lotan, presented to industry leaders at the World Innovation Summit conference in Tel Aviv on Sept. 14, 2009. In its third year, the World Innovation Summit is a platform for executives, academia and top industry experts to present breakthrough innovations and new technologies.
Lotan spoke at the Next Generation Communications panel and discussed innovation and the changing landscape in networking infrastructure. "Rapid changes are occurring as we speak. Next Generation Networks (NGN) need to respond to the major trends in society, primarily user mobility and increased usage of video over the Internet,” said Lotan.
“Real life networks need to respond to changing needs of residential and business customers alike. In today’s access networks (also called: the “first mile”), carriers can offer Ethernet over any infrastructure. Ethernet over any infrastructure is a proactive approach to deliver future proof connectivity solutions. NGN should evolve to offer access solution that scales from mid-band to ultra high-speed at 10 GB Ethernet speeds feeding into a backbone of 100Gb. Assuring such revolutionary data rates across access, aggregation and core networks, service providers face a new model of converged packet and transport networks with identical SLAs, providing the end user with a seamless Ethernet experience even while a variety of different access technologies are in play. Optical packet technology coupled with Ethernet over fiber at the access will allow carriers to drive innovation and future proof their network,” continued Lotan. “An MRV powered access network can address a vast array of vertical connectivity solutions under the same operating system and management system. This allows carriers to simplify operational efficiency and enhance infrastructure utilization with a unified approach to rapid changes and requirements faced in NGN.”
