Company Introduction

Metrobility Optical Systems® is an innovative, next generation optical networking company focusing on delivering optical access, connectivity and wavelength multiplexing to create a more efficient, more reliable, and more manageable network infrastructure. Metrobility® delivers highly reliable Ethernet connections for the mission-critical enterprises, broadband metro access and emerging Ethernet industrial process control networks.

Metrobility is leading the way in the design and delivery of intelligent metro optical Ethernet demarcation devices. The Company’s third generation of Ethernet demarcation devices – the E-Services NID - supports concurrent, standards-based, multi-level management including IP, SNMP and the IEEE 802.3ah standard. With multiple levels of management, VLAN-aware bridging, traffic prioritization, bandwidth provisioning, and sophisticated troubleshooting tools, Metrobility offers a viable Ethernet CSU/DSU counterpart to provision and manage optical Ethernet services. These features enable service providers to reduce both capital and operating expenses to yield higher profits on Ethernet services.

Metrobility’s manageable media, distance, and speed conversion solutions also deliver highly reliable connections for the mission-critical enterprise LANs. With innovative, comprehensive, standards based solutions for copper-to-fiber and fiber-to-fiber connectivity and wavelength multiplexing, these products provide a flexible, scalable, and manageable alternative to a “fork lift” upgrade when increased speed and distance extension (e.g., a campus environment or a metropolitan network) require fiber optics.

Metrobility’s patented line protection and restoration (LPR) solutions, load-sharing hot-swap power options, and best-of-class network element management enable users to integrate and manage legacy and evolving Ethernet networking technologies with fault tolerance and failure recovery options to support mission-critical applications.

Metrobility has been at the forefront of optical Ethernet for over 10 years, creating the first optical Ethernet fiber connectivity chassis, the first managed physical layer devices and the first NEBS Level 3 certified optical connectivity product. Metrobility holds patents for their Ethernet line protection and restoration devices* and for their remote management technology**. With NetBeacon® and WebBeacon™, Metrobility offers the most comprehensive set of management tools available for physical layer copper and fiber interfaces

Metrobility is an ISO 9001:2000 registered company and all products are manufactured at the Company’s offices in Merrimack, New Hampshire USA. Because of this “hands-on” manufacturing process, conformance to an ISO-certified manufacturing procedure, and rigorous external testing procedures, Metrobility is able to offer a consistently high quality and reliable product. This has resulted in over a million Metrobility products in mission-critical network applications at the NYSE, the Chicago Board of Trade, T. Rowe Price, Paine Webber, Bloomberg Stock Exchange, Mitsubishi Bank, Goldman Sachs, Fortis (Belgium), Generali Group (France), the Bank of America, CNN, Banque de France, FBI, Raytheon, MCI, Cisco, U.S. Army, NASA, Honda, British Telecom, and many others.
