CWDM DWDM: PacketLight Networks introduces its New PL-800 WDM platform

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 29, 2009 -- PacketLight Networks introduces its New PL-800 WDM platform
PacketLight Networks Ltd, a leading provider of
CWDM/DWDM transport devices for high throughput data, storage, TDM and ATM connectivity
(www.packetlight.com), announced today addition of the new PL-800 to its CWDM and DWDM
product lines. With the new PL-800, PacketLight introduces unique, all-in-one optical product
supporting 8G FC, 10G, and sub-10G services. PacketLight solution is unprecedented with its rich
feature set in a small 1U chassis.

PL-800 is a unique CWDM/DWDM platform that provides maximum flexibility and scalability for fiber
optic connectivity. It combines variety of services including GbE, 10GbE, 1/2/4/8/10G FC and STM-
1/4/16/64 (OC-3/12/48/192). PL-800 incorporates 4x10G uplink ports and 4x Sub-10G ports in
extremely small 1U form factor, in flexible combination of up to 4 fully loaded 8G/10G Multi-rate
DWDM services and 4x Sub-10G services from 2Mps up to 4.25Gbps.
PL-800 allows customers to start with low rate services and later expand to 10G services by simply
adding the needed pluggable optic modules (XFPs). This architecture provides true scalability at

minimum possible cost.
The PL-800 supports the full spectrum of FC protocol rates: 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 4Gbps, 8Gbps and
10Gbps. Together with its extremely low latency, low power consumption, small foot print (1U,
ETSI) and affordable cost PL-800 is best in class CWDM/DWDM solution for connecting two data
centers or back up sites.
The PL-800 incorporates carrier grade feature set such as remote management, performance
monitoring, protection, dual and pluggable Power Supply and pluggable Fan unit as well as
integrated optical modules such as optical amplifier (EDFA) and Mux/DeMux.

PL-800 is the new member which expands PacketLight’s’ PL-400, PL-1000, and PL-300 WDM product
line. The PL-800 seamlessly integrates with the rest of PacketLight’s products .
“With its uniquely rich service type, dynamic protocol support and easy operation and maintenance
at minimal cost. operators can experience ,true scalability at the smallest form factor. PL-800 is an
ideal solution for numerous dark fiber CWDM and DWDM applications which meet the needs of
carriers, dark fiber providers, universities, government entities , municipalities, and enterprises for

building their next generation optical networks and extending their service offerings” said Koby
Reshef, PacketLight’s VP Marketing.
