Optical Experts Talk over Evolution of Self Aware Networks in New JDSU Video

JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU) (TSX: JDU) today announced a new segment for its Industry View campaign on JDSU.tv. Shot live from the 2012 OFC/NFOEC conference in Los Angeles, California, the video includes comments from optical experts about how transport networks are evolving from static to flexible 'Self Aware' architectures that better support the overall explosion in bandwidth demand.

Network equipment manufacturers are under pressure to provide faster network speeds and higher optical performance to keep pace with bandwidth requirements as more consumers access online video and other applications through new devices such as smart phones and tablets.

"Self Aware Networks are a new set of emerging networks that are far more intelligent," said Sinclair Vass, senior director of Marketing at JDSU. "They are able to understand what is happening in the network and optimize accordingly. This supports bandwidth needs -- where you want it and when you want it."

Self Aware Networks will employ the JDSU TrueFlex product suite that is currently in trials with customers. The TrueFlex suite includes the industry's first twin wavelength selective switch that allows network equipment manufacturers to benefit from flexible grid spacing and improved optical performance in a compact footprint for network speeds beyond 100G.
