Aspen Optics announced today that it is launching a configuration tool for system integrators (SI) and internet service providers (ISP) to generate solutions for fiber network connections. This configuration tool can give instant recommendations on how to connect fiber networks. This solution will dramatically change the way network engineers work by speeding up tasks that previously involved unnecessary trial and error. By automatically generating the best options for connection, network quality and cost-effectiveness is ensured. In addition to benefiting SI, ISP, this is also great news for telecom operators, governments, and large enterprises that need frequent network expansion.

The tool, known as “Aspen Optical Ethernet Configurator”, is now available at the firm’s website, www.aspenoptics.com, which is open to public usage. Users only need to choose the switch models they wish to connect and the distance between. The configuration engine will automatically recommend the best options to connect based on customer input. For every situation, the tool will fully consider the specifications of that piece of hardware, compatibility, interoperability, transmission mode, and the distance to be connected. The tool is an extremely valuable guide under multiple-vendor environment.

The Aspen Configurator will help network engineers save time in design and implementation. The firm offers fiber connectivity products of high reliability, compatibility, and interoperability, crucial to facilitating quality deployment. More than satisfying the customers on a product level, the configuration tool on an operation level gives added value to supporting and improving the routine daily needs of SI, ISP, and telcos by effectively allocating their manpower time and resources to higher value activities. The launch of the Aspen Optical Ethernet Configurator will enhance its service offerings to its customers that include leading telecom operators and SI in the USA, Asia, Europe, and The Middle East.

Now time can be better spent on revenue generating activities like designing the network and optimization rather than countless hours searching for hardware specification sheets.

Previously, fiber connection in a network was a complicated task by deploying devices from multiple vendors. With the configurator tool, one of the most challenging network problems is easily solved.

As fiber connection becomes standardized with the Aspen Optical Ethernet Configurator, network reliability will be enhanced and it will speed up fiber optic expansion.

The tool’s users will be greatly impressed by the comprehensiveness of the firm’s range of products, as it is able to match a virtually infinite combination of network connection needs. Aspen Optics’s SFP, GBIC, media converters and switches assists customers control capital spending by utilizing current switching equipment and employing cost effective ways to upgrade their networks easily and quickly.

Typical network connection questions like how to connect a switch with GBIC ports to a switch with SPF ports at 10km distance, how to connect fiber network with CAT 5 copper lines, how to connect switches in a multiple vendor environment, needing 1Gigabit, 2 Gigabit, single-mode or duplex-mode….. using SFP, GBIC or media converters … these problems can now be answered with just a few clicks.

As an open platform, SI, ISP, and distributors can contact Aspen Optics if they wish to employ the configuration tool on their own websites too.
