Metromedia Fiber Network has become the leading supplier of dedicated dark fiber to intra-city carriers, Internet service providers (ISPs), and large enterprises. Nortel's WaveChannel Optical Network integrates the advantages of Metromedia Fiber Network dark fiber with Nortel Networks OPTera Metro cutting-edge wavelength-based platform, plus Nortel Networks operations and monitoring support, to deliver a managed optical network that can carry all current applications and protocols. By enabling legacy equipment to be connected directly to Metromedia Fiber Network's dark-fiber network, OPTera Metro provides a genuine "plug-and-play" capability that protects the customer's investment in existing equipment.
