(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Corporate news announcement processed and transmitted by Hugin AS.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Superior network infrastructure encourages collaboration, enables advancements from medical imaging to radio astronomyNorcross, Georgia, USA and Martinsried/Munich, Germany. July 20,2009. For several years, academic researchers at Michigan's publicuniversities and their colleagues around the globe have usedhigh-speed networking to exchange research data and supplement theirinvestigative activities. As high-energy physicists continue toexperiment with the Large Hadron Collider Project and geneticistsconduct advanced bioinformatics, the amount of data produced andtransmitted by researchers has grown exponentially. Fortunately,Merit Network, deploying ADVA Optical Networking solutions, iscontinually adapting to meet the changing needs of higher educationand the research community.Merit's 10G core network was recently upgraded to operate ADVAOptical Networking's FSP 3000 platform, significantly improving thecapabilities of the 770-mile fiber-optic ring that stretches fromDetroit to Chicago with connections in Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, GrandRapids and Lansing. The new ADVA Optical Networking technologyenables Merit to configure multiple high-speed connections, eachcarrying 10Gbit/s worth of data on a wavelength, using only a singlepair of fiber.The efficiency of Merit's optical network has been significantlyimproved with thedeployment of Raman amplifiers on the network, which has reduced thenumber of amplification sites that Merit needs to span the state andsaved the non-profit organization and its members thousands ofdollars in installation and service costs.Merit's fiber-optic network and ADVA Optical Networking's technologytogether enable a dynamic collaborative environment where science,medicine, research and education are no longer constrained bydistance or limited bandwidth. Whether a university professor sendsvolumes of data to a colleague at a satellite campus or a physiciantransmits real-time, high-definition medical images to a distanthospital, a fast and reliable broadband connection is essential.Scientists at public universities in Michigan are utilizing Merit'shigh-speed network for global research projects.For example, physicists at the University of Michigan are currentlyusing Merit's high-speed, high-capacity network as part of their workon the ATLAS Experiment, which conducts trials on the world's largestparticle collider, the Large Hadron Collider, located near Geneva,Switzerland.Meanwhile, University of Michigan astronomers are using their Meritconnection to coordinate information from giant radio telescopesaround the world. By collecting and analyzing data from multiplelocations, they are learning more about black holes and other spacephenomena than ever thought possible."These are just a few examples of the remarkable achievements thatare enabled by Merit's optical network every day," said BrianProtiva, chief executive officer of ADVA Optical Networking. "We'reproud to play a role in supporting this important work by supplyingthe dependable and affordable networking tools the research andeducation community needs to stay connected and keep collaborating.""Merit is committed to advancing the research capabilities of ourUniversity Members," said Don Welch, President and CEO of MeritNetwork. "ADVA Optical Networking technology maximizes capacity overfiber, allowing our members to move huge data sets without impactingour packet switched network. That translates to better performancefor lower costs. As we continue to facilitate high-end researchapplications that span the globe, ADVA Optical Networking offers usthe technology to provide our members the performance they need."In addition, Merit Network provides advanced connectivity forMichigan's research and education community to the Internet2 Network.Internet2 is a consortium of universities, corporations, governmentagencies, laboratories and other institutions of higher learning thatoperates a nationwide next-generation network in support of researchand education. ADVA Optical Networking is a corporate member ofInternet2. # # #ABOUT ADVA OPTICAL NETWORKINGADVA Optical Networking (FSE: ADV) is a global provider oftelecommunications equipment.
