MRV LX 4000T Series Earns NEBS Certification

Jun 29, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- MRV Communications announced that its LX 4000T Series of console servers has achieved compliance with Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) Level 3, the product safety and reliability standard for telecommunications equipment.


MRV is a networking company with a full line of packet-optical transport (POTS), carrier Ethernet, 40G networking and out-of-band networking products.

This certification means that the LX 4000T console servers meet all safety standards required for use in U.S. tier one central office applications. To become certified at NEBS Level 3, the LX 4000T products passed strict physical, electrical and environmental tests and demonstrated that MRV's solutions will operate safely and reliably in a central office environment.

MRV reported that the LX 4000T console servers provide network administrators the ability to perform secure remote management of operational and physical infrastructures. The LX Series of out-of-band networking products provide the redundancy and security features to deploy a complete, end-to-end management solution. Network and system administrators can proactively respond to all remote management, configuration and data acquisition needs as though they were physically present utilizing standard IP connectivity and\or via optional modem interface. The flagship LX 4000T Series console servers are available in 8, 16, 32 and 48 port models. In addition to remotely accessible console servers, the solution includes intelligent power and sensor management capabilities.

"NEBS level 3 compliance enables carriers to implement a complete remote management system that boosts their network uptime while lowering management costs with the confidence that their solution meets the highest level of standards support," said Noam Lotan, CEO of MRV Communications.

The LX 4000T Series joins MRV's other NEBS-compliant product lines including its LambdaDriver system and existing LX out-of-band management solutions used in central office fiber optimization and management applications.
