Big Bear Networks Overview

Big Bear's Photronic Signal Processing (PSP) technology, applicable to next-generation 10- and 40-gigabit-per-second optical system products, combines low-cost electronics and digital signal processing to automatically correct for the fiber impairments (e.g., chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion) that become more severe as systems move toward greater speeds and transmission...More»

Big Bear's Photronic Signal Processing (PSP) technology, applicable to next-generation 10- and 40-gigabit-per-second optical system products, combines low-cost electronics and digital signal processing to automatically correct for the fiber impairments (e.g., chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion) that become more severe as systems move toward greater speeds and transmission distances. PSP is the foundation for a line of highly integrated electrical-optical interface solutions that will be deployed in equipment such as DWDM transmission systems, IP/MPLS routers and switches, SONET/SDH cross-connects and add/drop multiplexers, and optical cross-connects.

Big Bear Networks was acquired by Infinera in December 2005.«Less
