Continuum Joins Partners in Live Webcast
Intelligent Testing is the topic
of an upcoming live webcast to be held this Thursday
May 5th at 1 pm EDT (10 am PDT). Continuum, along with
its fellow sponsors, Cisco, EdenTree, and MRV, take a look
at the industry-wide move toward increased test automation
in today’s leading labs, and the new technologies that
are enabling this phenomenon.
Continuum and MRV will introduce
their two distinctly different switching technologies, optical
and electrical switching respectively, and highlight new
test applications that are enabled by these technologies.
EdenTree will provide an overview of their lab automation
software, which provides an integrated capability for lab
resource scheduling, asset management & sharing, and
24/7 physical lab reconfiguration. Cisco will describe the
impact that lab automation has had on a real Systems Verification
Test lab.

Customer Spotlight:
Carrier Lab Tests FTTH Video Network
DirectLight products continue to demonstrate strong value
for its customers in network emulation and test. When a
leading ILEC needed to develop a capability for more effectively
testing its video distribution network for its FTTH roll-out,
it chose the DirectLight IG optical switch. DirectLight
is installed in the service providers network testbed for
its next generation video distribution system, and is used
as part of a capability to reconfigure numerous network
elements while testing network performance and link budgets.

Post-OFC 2005 Round-up & iPod
Winners
Thank you to all those people who came to the Continuum booth
at OFC/NFOEC 2005!
We had more than 200 people stop by our booth, making it
one of the best shows for Continuum. Continuum Photonics,
along with its partners, Agilent Technologies, and EdenTree
Technologies, conducted a live remote test automation demonstration
at OFC/NFOEC 2005. Visitors to our booth in Anaheim were
able to visually identify and change test equipment configurations
in Boston, experience automated test, and interpret test
data results remotely.
Response to Continuum’s premier issue of “At the
Transparent Layer” was tremendous – thank you
to all those that signed up to receive the Newsletter on
a continuous basis. We will continue to strive to bring
useful information and interesting customer spotlights in
future issues.
It is also time to announce our 3 iPod winners:
• Don P., MCI
• Chris S., Tellabs
• Don A., SBC
Congratulations to our 3 winners & thanks to all those
who participated!
