The ODC card's many interfaces will enable customers to use one platform for all their WDM transport needs, reducing their capital expenditures and operational costs. Equipped with encryption capabilities, the ODC card protects customers' sensitive data as well.

"Our ODC card is one of the lowest cost solutions for WDM transport in the industry, providing enhanced features such as encryption," says Jim Nevelle, CEO of Sorrento Networks. "As our customers' need for bandwidth increases, the need to reduce network deployment costs has intensified. We're excited to provide increase bandwidth and greater flexibility to optical network providers by offering a one-card solution."
