Synopsys and Hitachi High-Technologies Deliver Enhanced OPC Modeling Speed, Accuracy and PredictabilityCommon DFM Interface Links Companies' Technologies, Enabling Reduced Cost of Ownership for Mutual Customers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and TOKYO, June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in semiconductor design software, and Hitachi High-Technologies Corp., the world's leading developer and supplier of high-technology equipment for IC manufacturing, today announced that they have developed a seamless link between Hitachi High-Tech's DesignGauge design data measuring system and Synopsys' Proteus optical proximity correction (OPC) solution. Focused on incorporating manufacturing-aware metrology data into design, this common design for manufacturing (DFM) interface helps mutual customers to develop faster, more accurate and predictive OPC models for advanced 45 nanometer (nm) and beyond technologies. Moreover, Proteus customers can achieve higher OPC model predictability and reduced model-building cycle time.

As process geometries continue to shrink to 45-nm and beyond, the ability to deliver accurate OPC models that meet the stringent critical-dimension (CD) error budget across the process window plays an increasingly critical role in accelerating mask time-to-yield. Process window models must account for the wide range of process variation and complex two-dimensional (2D) structures. This becomes even more important with the use of multiple resolution enhancement techniques (RETs) for advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

The automated algorithmic link between DesignGauge, the application system for CD scanning electron microscopy (CD-SEM), and Proteus OPC for pre-processing OPC model building data allows Proteus customers to seamlessly obtain a large sampling of metrology data to account for process variations across the entire process window. This new functionality is available in the latest production release of Proteus.

"Working with a DFM world leader like Synopsys is invaluable in helping us to provide enhanced OPC modeling performance for our customers," said Aritoshi Sugimoto, general manager, Marketing & Planning Division, Semiconductor Equipment Business Group, Hitachi High-Technologies. "The accuracy and predictability of OPC models can be significantly improved by incorporating our unique DesignGauge CD-SEM data into the Proteus OPC tool."

"Proteus OPC has been in production for 10 years over seven consecutive technology nodes, delivering software performance improvement year over year. Combining leading-edge metrology information from Hitachi High-Tech with Proteus mask-synthesis data sharpens OPC model accuracy and predictability at 45 nanometers and beyond," said Anantha Sethuraman, vice president of marketing, Design for Manufacturing, Synopsys. "The result will be that customers are better able to achieve their model production and yield goals, ultimately reducing their overall cost of ownership."

Volvo Financial Services Selects Blue Coat for WAN Optimization, Web Security and Policy ControlBlue Coat Appliances Accelerate Business-Critical Applications, Stop Malicious Traffic and Provide Control and Bandwidth Mitigation for Everything In-Between

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blue Coat Systems , the leader in secure content and application delivery, today announced that Volvo Financial Services has selected Blue Coat(R) ProxySG(TM) appliances to provide WAN optimization for its branch and regional offices. The appliances accelerate business-critical applications, provide Web security to stop malicious and unwanted traffic and enable policy control and reduction of bandwidth consumption for the "gray area" applications that are between business-critical and bad. The appliances can even manage video and SSL-encrypted traffic from internal and externally-hosted applications.

Volvo Financial Services has 1,000 employees in multiple locations to provide financial services for customers and dealers of Volvo's truck brands: Volvo, Mack and Renault Trucks. The first implementation is between its offices in Aurora, Ontario, Canada and Greensboro, North Carolina.

"The Blue Coat ProxySG appliances provide a new way of thinking about WAN optimization," said Shannon Muncy, network services manager, Volvo Financial Services. "We can have visibility and control of what goes over the WAN and can accelerate a full range of business applications."

Initial indications show that Volvo Financial Services Web applications achieve increases of up to 350% in response time between the offices in Canada and North Carolina. Externally-hosted applications using SSL-encrypted traffic from banks, governmental departments and software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers can be controlled and accelerated just as any other Web application. Remote log-in applications also benefit from dramatic performance enhancements. Through controls and mitigating the effect of Web content, Blue Coat appliances have substantially reduced the bandwidth consumption across the WAN. Previously the WAN was routinely saturated, and now there is plenty of headroom for more traffic or new applications. In addition, Volvo Financial Services has new visibility into application traffic over its WAN, enabling them to reconfigure application resources for optimal performance.

"With Blue Coat ProxySG appliances, Volvo Financial Services can regain control of its WAN while providing the responsiveness it needs for remote applications," said Chris King, director of strategic marketing, Blue Coat Systems. "Through a single solution from Blue Coat, Volvo Financial Services can stop the bad, accelerate the good and control and mitigate the impact of everything in-between."

Vyyo Joins Metro Ethernet Forum to Speed Development of Ethernet-Based T1 Solutions

NORCROSS, Ga., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vyyo Inc. , a supplier of broadband access equipment for cable system operators, announced today that it has joined the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), the preeminent industry organization dedicated to accelerating the worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet networks and services.

"Cable system operators must be able to deliver T1 services across network architectures that vary from system to system," said Wayne Davis, CEO of Vyyo. "Vyyo is focused on enabling the delivery of high-performance business and residential solutions over Ethernet, and joining the MEF will help us advance innovation and progress in this space."

As a participant in the MEF, Vyyo will work with the group's membership of more than 120 telecommunications service providers, network equipment/software manufacturers, semiconductor vendors and testing organizations to develop Ethernet-based solutions, particularly for the delivery of telecom-quality T1 over cable system operators' hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) networks. T1 services are considered a leading revenue opportunity for cable operators entering the estimated $130 billion per year business services market. In addition, participation in the MEF will further enhance Vyyo's future developments, including cost-effective solutions for business and residential high-speed access.

"The increasing reliance on Carrier Ethernet-based solutions has challenged vendors to develop products which enable the transition from legacy services to Carrier Ethernet," said Nan Chen, president of the MEF. "Contributions from companies like Vyyo help us to accelerate the deployment of Carrier Ethernet as the technology and service of choice to support high bandwidth voice and data services."

The Vyyo T1 in a Box solution allows the deployment of T1 cellular backhaul and other business services according to the same model that has served the cable industry's high-speed data rollout so well: a headend-based broadband hub supports T1 traffic over existing HFC plant to and from T1 modems at cell towers or customer premises. The modem uses the same drop as existing video or high-speed data service.

Vyyo estimates that T1 service can generate average revenue per unit (ARPU) of up to $400, rather than the $30-$40 ARPU of cable modem service. GeoResults, a telecommunications database and marketing firm, estimates the cellular backhaul opportunity for cable as $42 billion through 2010.

About the MEF

The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) is a global industry alliance comprising more than 120 organizations including telecommunications service providers, cable MSOs, network equipment/software manufacturers, semiconductors vendors and testing organizations. The MEF's mission is to accelerate the worldwide adoption of Carrier-class Ethernet networks and services. The MEF develops Carrier Ethernet technical specifications and implementation agreements to promote interoperability and deployment of Carrier Ethernet worldwide. For more information about the Forum, including a complete listing of all current MEF members, please visit the MEF web site at http://www.metroethernetforum.org/

About Vyyo Inc. Vyyo Inc., , a leading supplier of broadband access equipment, delivers to cable system operators a powerful, economic platform with fiber- like performance that extends their dominant bandwidth position over the competition and drives new revenues. Vyyo's spectrum overlay technology expands typical HFC (hybrid-fiber coax) network capacity in the "last mile," offering the only cost-effective solution that quadruples upstream and doubles downstream bandwidth to help operators deliver new, advanced residential and business services at a fraction of the cost of fiber deployments. Vyyo is based in Norcross, GA. For more information, please visit http://www.vyyo.com/.

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements made in this press release relating to the future, including those related to the opportunities created for our customers given our ability to provide spectrum overlay solutions, our ability to dramatically increase upstream and downstream bandwidth and the revenue opportunities provided by T1 service, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not fully materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our business and results of operations to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that may cause these forward-looking statements to be inaccurate include among others: whether we will be able to accelerate the movement from development stage to deployment and establish meaningful commercial relationships with cable system operators; the current limited visibility available in the telecommunications and broadband access equipment markets; the willingness and ability of operators to adopt our new technology and apply it in a manner that meets customer demands; our ability to produce and distribute our spectrum overlay and T1 solutions in the quantities, and with the quality control, desired by the market; and other risks set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. We assume no duty to update these statements.

HEILBRONN, Germany, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(R) Corporation announced today the availability of the highly integrated AM/FM antenna amplifier IC ATR4251, which enables outstanding AM/FM car-radio reception when used with designer antennas, such as windshield, roof, or bumper antennas. The ATR4251's impedance matching amplifier helps to compensate for signal losses resulting from the smaller dimensions of modern antennas and the longer cables to the car radio.

The ATR4251 IC enables crystal-clear reception without distortion even under the extremely difficult and rapidly fluctuating field strength conditions typically found in moving antenna systems due to its highly dynamic AM and FM range. This high reception quality is due to the balance of an AM gain value of up to 35 dB, a large-signal behaviour both in AM and FM mode (e.g., IP3 148 dBuV in FM), and a good noise behavior, optimized for antenna applications.

A separate low noise amplifier (LNA) for FM and a buffer amplifier for AM are used to address the different operating frequencies and requirements of both AM and FM. The AM amplifier covers the entire broadcasting frequency range from 150 kHz up to 30 MHz which includes modern DRM systems. The FM LNA handles the frequency range from 70 MHz to 166 MHz, which includes weather band and HD Radio in the US.

The automatic AM and FM gain control (AGC) enable independent AM and FM adjustment to prevent overdriving of amplifiers under large-signal conditions. In addition, the use of two separate AGC circuits stops strong AM signals from blocking FM stations, and vice versa.

"Car radio antennas are increasingly seen as an intrinsic element of car design," stated Carsten Friedrich, Marketing Manager Broadcast Radio at Atmel. "The ATR4251, without compromising on reception performance of car radios, directly addresses this challenging antenna design trend."

Availability and Pricing

Samples of the ATR4251 are now available in SSO and QFN packages with pricing starting at US $0.60 for 100k piece quantities. Reference design demo boards are also available.

Wibree Forum Merges With Bluetooth SIGBluetooth Technology Expands for Ultra Low Power PAN Applications With Nokia's Wibree

BELLEVUE, Washington and ESPOO, Finland, June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the more than 8,000-company strong trade association responsible for advancing Bluetooth wireless technology, joined Nokia today in announcing that the Wibree forum, the group specifying the Nokia developed ultra low power wireless technology, will be merged with the Bluetooth SIG.

With this announcement, the Wibree specification will become part of the Bluetooth specification as an ultra low power Bluetooth technology. Because Wibree addresses devices with very low battery capacity and can be easily integrated with Bluetooth technology, it will round out Bluetooth technology's wireless Personal Area Networking (PAN) offering and strengthen the technology's ability to provide wireless connectivity for smaller devices.

"By including or referencing other wireless technologies like ultra wideband for high speed applications, near field communication (NFC) for association and now Wibree for ultra low power applications under the well-established Bluetooth profiles, we are opening up a host of new applications and functionality while keeping the user experience consistent," said Michael Foley, Ph. D. executive director, Bluetooth SIG. "Our members have been asking for an ultra low power Bluetooth solution. With Nokia's innovative development and contribution to the Bluetooth specification with Wibree, we will be able to deliver this in approximately one year."

Wibree's development started at the Nokia Research Center in 2001. Wibree was announced to a broader audience in October of 2006 and Nokia stated its intention to incorporate the technology and its current forum into an open, preferably existing industry forum to ensure Wibree's wide adoption.

"The development work for Wibree began when we discovered a series of interesting new use scenarios that no current local connectivity solution was addressing. Now we are happy to see Wibree become part of the open Bluetooth standard, opening new market opportunities and space to innovate for the industry," said Jarkko Sairanen, Vice President of Corporate Strategy for Nokia. "Including Wibree within an existing forum will ensure interoperability and its wide and fast adoption. The Bluetooth SIG is the optimal new home for Wibree."

To this day Broadcom, Casio, CSR, Epson, ItoM, Logitech, Nordic Semiconductor, ST Microelectronics, Suunto, Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. and Texas Instruments have contributed to the interoperability specification, profiles and use case definition of Wibree in their respective areas of expertise and will continue this work in the Bluetooth SIG working groups. Several new companies, including device, watch and access systems manufacturers will join the finalization of the specification. Once the specification is finalized, the technology will be made broadly available to the industry via the Bluetooth SIG.

"Nokia's contribution of its Wibree technology into the Bluetooth SIG as the basis for ultra low power Bluetooth specifications will continue to enhance the consumer experience of connecting to anything and anyone from anywhere with Bluetooth wireless technology," said John R. Barr, Ph.D., chairman of the Bluetooth SIG board of directors. "This new technology, as the basis of a wide range of ultra low power devices, is a commendable advancement in Bluetooth technology."

From the start, Wibree was designed to work with two implementation options - as an easily implemented extension to a classic Bluetooth radio, and as a stand-alone implementation

The Bluetooth SIG recognized the potential of Wibree to enhance current Bluetooth use cases around the mobile phone and PC by bringing very low power, sensor type devices into the fold. The ultra low power extension will allow watches and toys, as well as sports & wellness, healthcare and entertainment devices to be easily added to one's personal area network. This opens a new range of mobile possibilities for end users.

By leveraging Bluetooth technology's high consumer awareness (86 percent globally), the Bluetooth SIG's large membership and proven development and qualification programs, the ultra low power solution will be integrated faster and at a lower cost to the industry and consumers. Thanks to its innovative design, Wibree consumes only a fraction of the power of classic Bluetooth radios. In many cases it makes it possible to operate these devices for more than a year without recharging.

As stated in his March 2007 ABI Research Short Range Wireless Service, research Director Stuart Carlaw predicted a $432 milllion, 809 million device industry for Wibree by 2012. Carlaw said, "We believe [Wibree] is a unique technology that can leverage the very positive market position of Bluetooth technology in segments such as medical, sports equipment and well-being, where the total available market is extremely large and still relatively untouched."

The work of integrating the low power technology within the existing Bluetooth specification has begun and the first version of the specification is anticipated during first half of 2008.

Broadcom to Acquire Global Locate, Inc., a Provider of Industry-Leading GPS Chips and SoftwareBroadcom Enters Fast-Growing GPS Market with Single-Chip Solutions Targeted at Personal Navigation Devices and Mobile Phones

IRVINE, Calif. and SAN JOSE, Calif., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation , a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Global Locate, Inc., a privately-held, fabless provider of industry-leading global positioning system (GPS) and assisted GPS (A-GPS) semiconductor products and software. GPS is expected to join Bluetooth(R) and similar wireless technologies as a pervasive feature in next generation mobile devices. Global Locate's semiconductor solutions are used in mobile phones from leading cellular handset makers and incorporated into products from TomTom NV, the largest personal navigation device (PND) vendor in the world.

GPS products and location based services (LBS) are increasing in popularity with consumers and cellular service providers as both take advantage of the ability to identify exact geographical location by means of faint radio signals transmitted from a system of orbiting satellites. Growing consumer interest in these applications is driving the GPS chip market, which is expected to grow to $1.07 billion annually by 2012 according to market research firm Forward Concepts. The latest generation of PNDs provides location, points of interest and turn-by-turn navigation, features that are attracting increasing adoption among consumers. Cellular service providers also plan to incorporate GPS chips in mobile phones to meet government regulations for emergency 911 calls and to increase their average revenue per user (ARPU) with location based services.

Broadcom expects the demand for GPS devices to increase dramatically as the deployment of GPS in mobile phones increases. Combining Global Locate's GPS technology with Broadcom's leading Bluetooth, Wi-Fi(R), cellular and other mobile technologies will provide leading handset makers with wireless connectivity solutions that add significant value to feature and smart phone products.

Global Locate has focused on GPS chip and navigation technology since it was founded in 1999. The company is currently producing its third generation of GPS chips and has developed a worldwide GPS reference network that provides assistance data to its A-GPS-equipped chips via cellular data channels (GPRS or 3G), boosting performance and reducing the time required to determine a location by up to 100 times.

"With the acquisition of Global Locate, Broadcom will be the only semiconductor supplier in the world with top-tier customers in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM radio and GPS, four of the key wireless technologies now being added to next generation mobile phones," said Robert A. Rango, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Broadcom's Wireless Connectivity Group. "We are also pleased to add Global Locate's strong patent portfolio of over 175 issued and pending U.S. and foreign patents to our already robust patent portfolio."

"The combination of Global Locate's navigation expertise with Broadcom's well-known leadership in CMOS RF technology will enable Broadcom to develop a new generation of standalone GPS chips as well as GPS chips that incorporate other wireless standards, accelerating the adoption of GPS into all sorts of consumer devices," said Scott D. Pomerantz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Global Locate. "Joining with Broadcom and its leading position in wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, we can accelerate the penetration of Global Locate's GPS technology into mobile phones and at the same time accelerate the penetration of Broadcom's other wireless products into personal navigation devices."

Product Details

Global Locate's solutions are ideal for high volume GPS-enabled products like PNDs and cellular phone handsets where navigation performance and high sensitivity needs are coupled with requirements for low power consumption and small form factors. While many existing GPS solutions consist of two separate chips, a separate baseband and radio, Global Locate has integrated both into a single-chip CMOS product.

Global Locate offers products specifically optimized to add GPS cost effectively as a feature in devices such as mobile phones. In cellular applications where a wireless network connection is available, Global Locate's products can also access assistance data to enable more rapid "time to fix" performance. For example, traditional GPS can take as long as several minutes to determine location in the best conditions, but with Global Locate's assistance data, that time can be reduced to just a few seconds.

The acquisition also includes Global Locate's innovative World Wide Reference Network (WWRN) providing real time A-GPS data as well as Long-Term Orbit (LTO) solutions to provide assistance even when a network connection is not available. Several carriers, including one of the most widely used A-GPS networks in North America, have adopted Global Locate's A-GPS server solution to provide location based services, which dramatically increases their revenue per usage metrics.

Broadcom's Wireless Connectivity Group has been one of the company's fastest growing businesses over the last three years. This growth has been driven by the adoption of Bluetooth in mobile phones, the proliferation of Wi-Fi technology in the home, and the expansion of Voice over IP (VoIP) services by telecommunications carriers. Broadcom anticipates that GPS will be a significant growth driver for its wireless connectivity business as GPS is adopted in mobile phones and other consumer devices.

Transaction Details

In connection with the acquisition, Broadcom expects to pay approximately $146 million net in cash at closing in exchange for all outstanding shares of capital stock and other rights of Global Locate. A portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of Global Locate will be placed into escrow pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement. Additional consideration of up to $80 million in cash will be reserved for future payment to the former holders of Global Locate capital stock and other rights upon satisfaction of certain performance goals. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the merger. The closing, which is expected to occur during Broadcom's third quarter ending September 30, remains subject to customary closing conditions. Broadcom may record a one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development expenses when the closing occurs. The amount of that charge, if any, has not yet been determined.

Centillium Combines Chipset Technologies to Propel Arion(TM) II Gateway CPE for Residential, SOHO Triple-Play DevicesUnion of powerful, market-validated technologies for VDSL2 and VoIP yields exceptional performance, consumer experience

FREMONT, Calif., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Centillium Communications, Inc. today released Arion(TM) II Gateway CPE. The company's first gateway system-on-chip (SoC) for VDSL2 networks offers equipment manufacturers fast time-to-market and proven processing power for voice, data and video in residential and small-office markets. Arion II Gateway CPE integrates within a single device the features of Centillium's award-winning Atlanta 100 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system and its Arion eXtremeVDSL2(TM) digital device. The chipset also adds new, patented technology to boost service quality for demanding triple-play applications.

"We're pleased to introduce Arion II Gateway CPE as a solution that not only combines two premier technologies, but integrates our many years of experience in deploying VoIP network processors and DSL solutions worldwide," said Didier Boivin, vice president of marketing, Centillium. "And while its seamless interoperability, quick time-to-market and favorable cost-performance will distinguish Arion II Gateway CPE for our ODM and OEM customers, we believe the market will also recognize considerable value in the exceptional provisions for quality of service (QoS) and security we've built into this solution."

For Centillium, Arion II Gateway CPE culminates a history of successful product development across multiple broadband segments. A complete system solution, the chipset drives market-proven VoIP and VDSL2 technologies through a single software platform and includes comprehensive reference designs, promising low bill-of-materials costs and accelerated time-to-market. For IAD applications, Arion II Gateway CPE powers premium triple-play services including IPTV, VoIP and high-speed Internet by providing a fully featured gateway-on-chip solution for secure network routing, high-quality voice processing, robust video capabilities and high-performance data exchange over VDSL2 networks, with symmetric data rates up to 100 Mbps.

"VDSL2 is a key technology for delivering premium communications services to consumers," noted Joseph Byrne, an analyst with The Linley Group and author of A Guide to Gateway Processors. "A highly integrated gateway SoC, such as Centillium's Arion II Gateway chipset, that combines VDSL2 modem functions with VoIP and QoS capabilities enables CPE to deliver these services more effectively and at lower cost than the multi-chip approaches deployed today."

Arion II Gateway CPE supports full backward compatibility with ADSL2/2+ and VDSL infrastructure. The chipset includes a digital chip with integrated MIPS processor, encryption and QoS packet engines, a voice DSP, and an analog front-end chip. Furthermore, the chipset is accompanied with a robust software package and reference design that can be used right out of the box to build a production-ready VDSL2 IAD. This alleviates the need for systems vendors to develop customized software, leading to significantly lower development cost and an accelerated time to market.

Enhancing Quality of Experience

Compared to ADSL, the ultra-wide bandwidth of VDSL makes it significantly more susceptible to degradation of service quality due to crosstalk. Placing an even greater premium on QoS is the data integrity demanded by triple-play applications such as streaming video. To meet this challenge, Centillium developed the Crosstalk Rate Adaptation(TM) (XRA) technology, integrating proprietary, intelligent algorithms to eliminate line-drops and assure optimum data rates under crosstalk noise conditions. Arion II CPE and Arion II Gateway CPE products are the first Centillium SoCs to apply this advanced approach to enhancing the user experience; in addition, these chipsets employ Centillium's proven QoS packet engine, dedicated to assuring maximum quality of experience for voice and other network communications.

Verizon Business Surpasses Its Halfway Mark in Connecting U.S. Cities With National Optical ULH Network15 Additional Ultra Long Haul Routes Extend Robust, Resilient Capabilities

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Business will add 6,000 more miles to its ultra long haul (ULH) network this year, surpassing the halfway point in the company's multiyear plan to deploy a 50,000-mile all- optical transport network across the United States.

In announcing the deployment plan Tuesday (June 12), Verizon Business said more than 15 new ULH routes connecting dozens of cities will be added. The routes include: Chicago to Sioux Falls, S.D., to Minneapolis to Omaha, Neb.; San Jose, Calif., to Los Angeles; Memphis, Tenn., to Longview, Texas, to Dallas; Atlanta to New Orleans; Denver to Colorado Springs, Colo., to Albuquerque, N.M., to El Paso, Texas; and Atlanta to Fairfax, S.C., to Raleigh, N.C., to Greensboro, N.C.

"Verizon Business is on track to realize our vision - and deliver on our promise -- of one dynamic, robust ULH network with optimal diversity and maximum bandwidth," said Fred Briggs, Verizon Business executive vice president of operations and technology. "By adding 6,000 more miles, we're aggressively moving toward the 60 percent completion mark of the ULH network."

Among its benefits, the ULH network supports integrated optical transport and enables photonic switching of wavelengths for network restoration and shorter customer provisioning intervals. The ULH strategy also allows Verizon Business to extend the signal reach beyond 1,200 miles without regeneration equipment, reducing operational expenses as well as the number of active components in the network. The use of ULH allows large-business and government customer traffic on the ULH network to receive a higher level of resiliency, better network performance, reduced latency and increased network availability, with measurements up to 99.999 percent.

"As more of our customers move to wavelength services, Web-based applications and high-speed Ethernet products, they look to Verizon Business to deliver all the network benefits of our ultra long haul network," said Briggs. "Reliability and resiliency of our ULH network are two key deliverables our customers demand. In today's environment, our customers need network connectivity 24 hours a day, and we will continue to make these types of network infrastructure investments to ensure we meet their communication needs around the world."

The Verizon Business ULH network supports an OC-768 core capacity (currently the fastest SONET standard rate for data transmission on optical fiber), with transmission speeds up to 40 gigabits per second (Gbps) for robust performance of IP, MPLS, SONET and SDH services. With the ability to support a mixture of 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps signals on a single fiber, the Verizon Business ULH network provides superior and more cost-effective capacity and wavelength capabilities.

Verizon Business was the first major communications service provider to deploy an extensive ULH network in the United States.
