GLIMMERGLASS INTELLIGENT OPTICAL SWITCHES CERTIFIED FOR USE IN RUSSIA

 

Hayward, CA.– Aug. 27, 2008 – Glimmerglass, leading provider of Intelligent Optical Switches, announced today that its switches have been certified for use in Russia, expanding the company’s global footprint to Eastern Europe. The company also announced the first sale of its switch in Russia.

Certification for use in Russia’s telecommunications networks is a rigorous process which includes assessment of technical specifications and verification of compatibility with other telecommunications equipment in the Russian Ministry of Communications labs.

“We’re very proud to have achieved this certification” said Robert Lundy, Glimmerglass president and CEO.  “It’s another milestone in our global sales efforts and we look forward to working with telecommunications customers in this region to implement the most reliable and cost-effective means of creating, monitoring and protecting optical light paths.”

Glimmerglass switches provide customers with the industry’s lowest power, lowest optical loss, non-blocking and fully transparent switches, scalable from 24 to 190 ports.  The company recently introduced the Glimmerglass Console, a server-based software product that enables a large number of photonic cross connects to be managed remotely, over the web, from a single location.
