Fiberhome picks Mindspeed's crosspoint switch for use in OTN

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. has announced Fiberhome Telecommunications Technologies, Ltd., has selected Mindspeed's large crosspoint switch for use within its next-generation OTN product line.

"The Mindspeed crosspoints enable our OTN equipment to deliver superior flexibility, intelligent electronic/optical management and terabits per second (Tbps)-class switching capabilities."

"Mindspeed offers the most comprehensive portfolio of crosspoint devices in the industry," said Kurt Busch, senior vice president and general manager for Mindspeed's high-performance analog business unit. "As a result, we were able to offer Fiberhome a product that was optimized for their application in terms of channel count, power and performance."
