Supplier Alliance Day Recognition Highlights System Cost Reduction
Through Adoption of Avanex Oasis Architecture
Avanex Corporation (NASDAQ:AVNX), a pioneering provider of intelligent
photonic solutions that enable next-generation optical networks,
announced today that it had received the Tellabs, Inc. Value Engineering
Award for 2008. The award was presented to Avanex at the Tellabs
Supplier Alliance Day event, held at Tellabs’ headquarters and was given
in recognition of Avanex’s contributions to cost reduction through
innovation, specifically for optical amplifier subsystem products.
Avanex Oasis platform modules and subsystems, now in their 4th
generation, provide a competitive edge by seamlessly integrating
multiple optical functions including amplification, performance
monitoring, wavelength switching, and dispersion compensation in
low-cost optical subsystems. Through the collaborative development of
subsystem linecards, Avanex delivers an improved cost structure while
providing superior optical, electrical, and thermal performance to its
customers.
Avanex President and CEO Giovanni Barbarossa commented, “The central
technical challenge currently facing optical networking providers is to
deliver next generation products with the lowest cost per bit and with
differentiated, high performance features. We appreciate Tellabs’
recognition of our ability to work with them to satisfy these
requirements and to meet their aggressive schedules.”
