NEWS REVIEW Cree introduces $99 LED street light
CREE is claiming that its recently launched XSPR LED Residential Street Light delivers better lighting while consuming over 65 percent less energy at an initial cost as low as $99 for common applications.
The new Cree XSPR street light is said to be the ideal replacement for municipalities and cities using outdated high-pressure sodium fixtures up to 100 watts and can deliver payback in less than one year.
“With the low initial price of the XSPR street light and the dramatic energy savings, wholesale replacement of existing street lights becomes a simple choice,” said Al Ruud, Cree vice- chairman, lighting. “Utilities and city managers can now improve the lighting in their neighbourhoods, save energy and see payback in less than a year. Why
would anyone choose otherwise?”
Cree state that the 25-watt and 42- watt XSPR street light is designed to replace up to 100-watt high-pressure sodium street lights, reducing energy consumption while improving lighting performance. Cree’s NanoOptic Precision Delivery Grid™ optic technology achieves better optical control than traditional street lighting fixtures and efficiently delivers white uniform light for safer- feeling communities.
In addition to a low initial cost and significant energy savings, the XSPR street light is backed by Cree’s 10-year warranty.
“Street lighting is our city’s largest single energy-related cost, and the XSPR street light appears to dramatically change the economics of LED relative to traditional
lighting technologies,” said Dan Howe, assistant city manager, City of Raleigh, N.C. “This breakthrough technology can change the total cost of ownership equation, encouraging municipalities to transition sooner to LED with less risk, and redirect resources to other important community needs.”
Korea deploys Infinera InP PICs for multi-terabit communication
INFINERA has announced that Dacom Crossing, a Korean provider of international IP communications, has deployed the Infinera DTN-X packet optical networking platform.
The platform will deliver a fully integrated network connecting Seoul, the terrestrial backhaul network and the EAC Korea landing station. The Infinera Intelligent Transport Network, featuring the DTN-X, enables Dacom Crossing to offer 10, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) services in addition to existing International Private Lease Circuit services up to 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s).
The Infinera Intelligent Transport Network sDacom Crossing to use time as a weapon to increase revenues with highly reliable, differentiated services while reducing operating costs through scale, multi-layer convergence and automation. With Infinera Instant Bandwidth, Dacom Crossing further benefits from the rapid deployment of bandwidth in 100 Gb/s increments on demand. “The DTN-X allows us to scale our network as needed based on customer demand, while providing unprecedented speed and reliability,” says JH Kim, Dacom
Crossing CEO. “Coupled with the Instant Bandwidth feature, which allows us to deploy increments of 100G services, Infinera’s solutions enable differentiation by shortening provisioning times, accelerating service delivery, and reducing time to revenue.”
Dacom Crossing provides wholesale services to Tier One carriers, ISP’s and content providers, and is the first Korean network operator to deploy Infinera’s solutions. Dacom Crossing is deploying an Intelligent Transport Network enabled
by the industry’s only commercially available 500 Gb/s coherent super- channel transmission. The Infinera DTN-X is designed to scale without compromise to provide for future upgrades to terabit super-channels and Terabit Ethernet.
“Dacom Crossing is now providing South Korea with its first Intelligent Transport Network, featuring the industry’s only solution designed with photonic integrated circuits,” says Andrew Bond- Webster, vice president APAC Sales for Infinera. “Our solution’s ability to quickly and reliably provide network services on demand, with the ability to scale in the most efficient manner, really stood out against our competitors.”
The Infinera DTN-X is designed to scale without compromise to enable future upgrades to terabit super- channels and Terabit Ethernet. The DTN-X converges five Terabits of non- blocking OTN switching into the same platform, resulting in more efficient network utilization when compared to conventional WDM architectures. Intelligent software combined with this converged platform automates manual operation.
