AMS Technologies addresses increasing demand for Ethernet
services, greater optical capacity, dynamic networking and
management simplicity in service provider and enterprise
networks. Expanding the capacity of a single fiber up to
320Gbps, the Intelligent Service Edge solutions provide
wavelength and packet-level delivery of high capacity
services such as video, storage, wired data, wireless data
and voice, and media to the network edge. Incorporating
state-of-the-art technology the products available from AMS
have an ultra-compact design and are engineered for very
low power consumption to reduce carbon footprint in central
offices and data centers.
In order to cope with the increasing bandwidth demand
wavelength multiplexing is more and more found to be the
best choice and thus massively deployed. CWDM and DWDM
have become a very convenient, cost efficient and easy to use
technology for everybody including metro carriers and ISPs.

Switches offered by AMS Technologies provide unmatched
performance for high-density data center deployments. The
datacenter Ethernet switches feature the industry‘s highest
density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching solution and the first with an
extensible modular network operating system.
With breakthrough price-performance, they enable 10 Gigabit
Ethernet to be deployed everywhere in the data center, which
can significantly improve server utilization and consequently
ata center power efficiency. The switches come with both
front-to-back and back-to-front airflow options for energy
efficiency. All SFP+ ports accommodate a full range of 10GbE
twinax copper cables and optical 1/10GbE transceivers including
CWDM transmission.

OEM transceivers for 3Com, Alcatel, Brocade, Cisco,
Enterasys, Extreme, HP, linksys, etc.
A major application of media converters is to make use of
optical fiber as the transmission media for extending the reach
of interfaces between two locations. Media converters are
deployed in pairs, typically between two CO sites or between
a CO and CPE location or between two CPE locations.
A media converter should be transparent to any protocol
transmitted but should have the functionality to regenerate
the transmission signal. Media converters can therefore be
regarded as demarcation between lAN and SAN.

cation between lAN and SAN.
Enterprise and Campus Networks
The interfaces to the WAN transmission can be carried out
externally by using media converters or internally by using
singlemode transceivers enabling even CWDM and DWDM
wavelengths.
The reach of local area networks (lAN) increases steadily. In the
past lANs were limited to a building or a campus area using copper
or multimode fiber transmission. Nowadays the clear boundary
between lAN and WAN (wide area network) has become blurred.
The expansion of lANs takes place by connecting two or more
remote lANs.
High-bandwidth networks use fiber links to carry large volumes of
mission-critical traffic. Since outages often result in large financial
losses carriers and enterprises have used a variety of mechanisms
to boost availability, such as SONET rings in the core and MPlS in
the access network.
However, a new protection mechanism based on all-optical
switching offers a more cost-effective solution for high-speed
links.
Protection by optical switching
The new protection technology is based on optical switching
modules. Optical signals are routed to one of the fiber links
without undergoing any electro-optical conversion. Unlike
other technologies, optical switches do not use expensive
signal conversion circuitry, greatly reducing the cost, space
and power consumption of this solution. For very high port
counts intelligent optical switches are used.
Data encryption
The encryption products provided by AMS Technologies
safeguard your communication reliably and without loss of
quality. The area of application reaches from encryption of
point-to-point connections to complex networks used with
UMTS or xDSl. The systems are optimised for communication
scenarios where PBX devices, router, switches or audio/video
systems have to be operated securely between distributed
sites.
Fiber monitoring / security
Although fiber optic transmission is generally regarded as the
safest way to arry data a certain insecurity is still involved.
The main reasons for the use of fiber monitoring are failure
prevention and intrusion detection.

Inspection
Clean fiber optic components are a requirement for quality
connections between fiber optic equipment. One of the most
basic and important procedures for the maintenance of fiber
optic systems is to inspect and clean the fiber optic equipment.
Any contamination in the fiber connection can cause
failure of the component or failure of the whole system.
Even microscopic dust particles can cause a variety of
problems for optical connections. The inspection is done
with the use of fiberscopes in order to view the endface. The
fiberscope should provide at least 200x total magnification.
Specific adapters are needed to properly inspect the endface
of most connector types, for example:
1.25 mm, 2.5 mm or APC connectors.
Connector cleaning
With rapidly growing transmission rates
of state of the art fiber optic networks
the requirements on cleaning endfaces
of connectors becomes more stringent.
Even the smallest contamination on
the connector‘s endface reduces
the overall quality of the connection.
Cleaning with alcohol and tissues on
a daily basis is time consuming and
subjected to failures. The cleaning tools
available from AMS Technologies clean
the endface with a dedicated microfiber
tissue. This material removes all
contaminations and secures them.
The antistatic concept prevents
static load which could bring new
contamination after the cleaning.
Unlike traditional cleaning concepts
this method does not degrade optical
return loss.
The conventional way of connector
cleaning is conducted by direct
connector cleaning with the connector
in hand.
1.25 or 2.5 mm Stick Cl eaner s are
used to clean connectors in adapters.
Their special tissue is designed to take
dirt and dust away from the endface.
1.25 or 2,5 mm Pipe Cleaners are
designed to clean the sides of ferrules.
This guarantees perfect guiding
and secures a clean endface.
A new way is to clean the connector
through the adapter without
disassembling the patch panel.
Card cleaners use a card with 12
cleaning positions, Due to its compact
design it fits in every pocket. This
tool should be with every fiber optic
workplace in the lab, in production and
in the field.
Troubleshooting tools
Once network failures occur it is indispensable to have the right
means to retrieve them. Although such failures usually manifest
themselves in packet losses on higher layers it is beneficial to
track them down to their root cause. Troubleshooting tools are
commonly compact, portable, rugged and light weight devices.
It is recommendable for every assigned service technician to
keep those tools with him.
