2013:
This year was a busy one for us. We developed Cachejack™, which is designed to improve mobile user experience and enable location-based services (LBS) through an application-aware radio access network. It also optimizes resource utilization by uniquely transporting content directly from the backhaul network straight to the mobile subscriber.
We launched the FSP 150 with IEEE 1588v2 mini-grandmaster (miniGM) clock and boundary clock functionality, which added to our timing product portfolio.
We announced an industry-first with our Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution that was developed in cooperation with IBM and Marist College.
Our team was awarded a prestigious Supply Chain Management Award. This is presented annually to the company with the most effective value chain in the manufacturing industry. Shortly after, we also won an acclaimed eco Internet award for our 100G Metro card.
