BTI Systems, an Ottawa-based provider of packet-optical service platforms, has announced the launch of a new ultra low latency transponder with 20 nanosecond transit time. The new Low Latency dual 10G transponder is optimized to provide rapid system processing and transparent transmission for 10GE, 10G Fibre Channel and wavelength services.

Raising the bar for 10G networks and setting the target for ultra low latency route performance with 20 nanosecond transit time in network deployments, BTI Systems (News - Alert) is now providing the ability to transmit information in nanoseconds.

This helps in meeting the requirements of service providers and enterprises where ultra low latency connectivity is required to maintain a competitive advantage. Generally, businesses such as financial firms conducting direct access trades on the Electronic Communications Network, high-frequency trading applications, and cloud networks running delay-sensitive applications are built on speed of transactions, says BTI Systems.

The company's new low latency 10G dual transponder has been validated through customer network testing. It adds a mere 20-30 nanosecond delay in transmission.

Robert McMann, VP of provisioning and pProcurement for Hibernia Atlantic (News - Alert), said, 'In today's competitive financial marketplace, speed matters. Reducing latency by mere microseconds can provide measurable advantages to traders and financial firms.'

The addition of 20-30 nanosecond delay in transmission is equivalent to 6 meters of fiber cable, thereby adding virtually no latency into the network.

Company officials said that the company's 10G DTPR-L along with EDFA amplifiers and FBG Dispersion Compensation Modules together deliver an optimized, engineered approach to low latency networking for campus, metro and regional applications. This capability facilitates network as well as service providers to address a wide range of applications for on-demand services, for communications, securing business-critical information, and collaborating with partners and content suppliers.

'Our design philosophy is to create industry-leading platforms providing high operational value that are simple to deploy,' said Robert Keys, chief architect, optical, BTI Systems. 'In part, this means a no-nonsense design tuned for rapid transmission. The 10G transponder solution epitomizes this approach and that translates directly into customer profitability.'

McMann added, 'Hibernia's Global Financial Network was specifically designed to deliver low latency, secure connectivity which is critical to the financial marketplace. Rapid transaction response is crucial and the ability of a network to handle equipment latency at nanosecond rates translates into millions of dollars for our customers.'

The BTI Systems' product portfolio encompasses the BTI 7000 Series packet optical networking platform, the BTI 700 Series Carrier Ethernet access portfolio, and the proNX Management Suite offering element, network, service management and strategic planning capabilities.

In the recent news, TMCnet reported that BTI Systems joined hands with Cameron communications to extend Cameron's fiber-based network services. This helps in providing the community with greater access to advanced broadband, VOD, and IPTV (News - Alert) services.
