DescriptionMetrobility Optical Systems is an innovative, next generation optical networking company focusing on delivering optical access and connectivity to create a more efficient, more reliable, and more manageable network infrastructure. Metrobility is first to harness the power of Ethernet and fiber optics to deliver superior carrier-class network connectivity solutions to bring WAN manageable capabilities - optical remote management, connectivity, and access - to the metropolitan area network.
Previously known as Lancast, the Company leverages its vast experience in electrical-to-optical technology and its manageable media, distance, and speed conversion solutions to deliver highly reliable Ethernet connections for the mission-critical enterprises and broadband metro access. Metrobility offers solutions for copper-to-fiber connectivity, multimode-to-singlemode fiber connectivity, distance extension, rate adaption, and line protection/restoration. These fiber connectivity products provide a flexible, scalable, and manageable alternative to a "fork lift" upgrade when increased speed and distance extension (e.g., a campus environment, or a metropolitan network) require fiber optics.
Metrobility was the first to recognize the need for management for what had been unmanaged devices - the "black hole" - at each fiber/copper media interface. This potential for downtime has caused media converters to be viewed as the weakest link in a managed network infrastructure. The company's Intelligent 7500 enabled these critical network convergence points to become part of the overall management infrastructure. With NetBeacon and WebBeacon, the Company offers the most comprehensive set of management tools available for these interfaces - truly 'best-of-class' manageability.
As a market leader in media conversion, Metrobility has over a million units installed in networks around the work and is the product of choice for network builders who need to maximize network uptime and ensure network availability. Metrobility employs a staff of hardware and software design engineers to address the needs of these network builders quickly. The Company holds several patents for its media conversion product and has patents pending on technology being deployed with the Radiance Optical Ethernet System. Radiance employs innovative provisioning, troubleshooting, and management technology to enable service providers to deliver cost effective high-bandwidth services in the last mile.
Metrobility Optical Systems is an ISO 9001:2000 registered company based in Merrimack, New Hampshire USA.
