Mar. 6, 2006 — JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU) introduced three new optical communications products under its Agile Optical Network (AON) strategy, which is intended to address the need for more agile, dynamically reconfigurable networks for consumer and business services.
The introductions included the ES VOA series, a series of electrostatic, MEMS-based variable optical attenuators for a cost-effective means of power control in AON. The new attenuators are designed for low wavelength dependent loss, small form factor packaging and high reliability.
The other products introduced include a pair of modulators and a modular optical protection switch circuit pack.
