Transmode sets the industry standard for Low Latency Transport at 4 nanoseconds
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm - 10(th) June 2010 - Transmode, a leading supplier of optical
networking solutions, today announced latency performance of up to 1000 times
better than comparable solutions for applications such as algorithmic trading,
cloud computing, data center interconnect and video distribution.
Recent changes at the application level such as the introduction of algorithmic
trading have changed the performance requirements on optical networking
platforms from "low enough to support synchronous Fibre Channel" to "as low as
practicably possible". This brings competitive advantage to Transmode's
customers and enabling them to win deals where latency is critical.
Latency in optical networks is driven by three main components. Firstly the
latency of the fiber, which is largely driven by the route the operator has
chosen, at approximately 5 microseconds per km. Secondly, in long distance
networks, Dispersion Compensating Fiber can add a further 20-25% to the latency.
Transmode offers Fiber Bragg Grating-based dispersion compensation units, which
remove this additional latency. Thirdly, there is the latency associated with
the WDM system and its associated opto-electronics. Here, Transmode's customers
can further differentiate themselves with the lowest possible latency.
Specifically Transmode's TS-Series
and TM-Series
10G Transponders provide between 4 and 10 nanoseconds per transponder pair,
depending on the protocol speed, which is equivalent to adding only 1 to 2
meters of fiber to the overall route. These Transponders support any service
from 100M to 2.7G such as 1G and 2G Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet, and all
8/10G protocols including 8G and 10G Fibre Channel and 10G LAN and WAN PHY
Ethernet
Units that require data processing, such as Integrated Layer 2 Ethernet devices,
clearly have more latency, but here Transmode can also provide industry leading
performance. For example, Transmode's Layer 2 Ethernet Muxponder has less than
2 microseconds latency and close to zero jitter. This latency performance is at
least 2 to 3 times better than comparable Ethernet switches.
"My team has always designed solutions for the edge of the optical network,
which drives engineers to carefully consider exactly what goes in or stays out
of the solutions we design. This ultimately has a large impact on the cost,
power consumption and latency of our solutions," said Mohamad Ferej, Vice
President R'n'D at Transmode. "It is great to see that the recent changes in
applications really enable our customers to capitalize on this Transmode low
latency advantage. Our unique design enables customers to win deals where the
latency is absolutely critical and our solutions are giving them the edge they
need to win."
