XKL’s DarkStar™ Product Lines Featured at the Dark Fibre International Convention 2009 Increase Bandwidth and Improves Latency for Massive Bandwidth Applications

Cisco Systems Co-Founder to Speak at Dark Fibre International Convention 2009 to Illustrate New Technology that Enables Expansion of Data Transfer Capacity and Higher Speed for Time-Sensitive Data Transmission

Redmond, WA, USA (November 5, 2009) – Len Bosack is on a mission to define how enterprises tap into the inherent power, capacity and speed of the Internet to fundamentally change the way they do business. As CEO and founder of XKL, LLC, a leading-edge provider of enterprise fiber optic networking equipment, this co-founder of Cisco Systems says that there is a tremendous opportunity for companies to free themselves from the shackles of bandwidth limitations imposed by traditional telecommunications providers. Companies can now leverage the latest in optical transport terminal technologies to build their own faster and more affordable private fiber networks.

As part of the XKL mission to bring fundamental change to worldwide telecommunications, Bosack will be a featured speaker at the Dark Fibre International Convention as the opening keynote speaker in a presentation that will illustrate how companies can expand both their bandwidth and data transfer speed, while reclaiming control over the reliability and efficiency of their data network – and their IT budget. The speech, Continuing the Promise of Dark Fibre, is set for 09 15 to 09 45 on Thursday, Nov. 5 at the America Conference Centre in London. Attendees will get a glimpse at the latest research and leading-edge technology enabling companies to light dark fiber that is already in place as well as expand data capacity and transmission speed with plug-and-play devices that are easy to implement and manage.

“Many businesses are at the mercy of their ISP in terms of quality of service and cost,” Bosack said. “They need greater reliability, more bandwidth and better latency, but can’t get that with the service offerings of most commercial Internet providers. What they may not realize is that the wholesale Internet is quite different, and with the right equipment, businesses can tap into this raw power to establish their own private fiber networks easily and cost effectively to generate massive bandwidth.”

XKL’s DarkStar line of fiber optic communications equipment enables data network engineers to operate and deploy metro area and long haul fiber optics communication networks with compact, energy-efficient and highly robust devices that require no optical engineering expertise to implement or operate. In terms of reach, the long haul means 1300 Km in Europe, for example. DarkStar’s router-like ease of configuration, value and reliability make it the most efficient and cost-effective DWDM technology on the market.

“In today’s economy, businesses must be able to move massive amounts of data at lightning-fast speed in order to maintain a competitive advantage,” Bosack said. “We now have the technology that allows us to achieve latency speeds measured in nanoseconds, rather than the industry-standard milliseconds. That’s incredibly valuable for businesses that conduct time-sensitive activities.”
