Optiwave’s OptiSystem 2.0 Wins 2002 Lightwave OFC Attendees' Choice Award

Ottawa, Canada, May 21, 2002 - Optiwave Corporation, a world leader in the development of optical simulation software for the fiber optics telecommunications industry, is proud to announce that its OptiSystem 2.0 software tool was awarded the 2002 Lightwave OFC Attendees' Choice Award.

OptiSystem 2.0 was the top vote getter in the Design Tools category of the 2002 Lightwave OFC Attendees’ Choice Awards. According to Lightwave, “the award program is designed to recognize those products at OFC that most impressed show attendees.” Although OptiSystem 2.0 faced tough competition from other design tools, it was chosen as the leading software tool for the design and simulation of optical communication systems.

“This award reinforces the quality of our software tools and our position in the industry as a leader in the development of optical design and simulation software tools,” said Velko Tzolov, VP of Sales and Marketing at Optiwave Corporation. “The voters are potential users of the software, and I think that gives this award a tremendous level of importance.”

OptiSystem 2.0 is an innovative and powerful software tool that enables users to plan, test, and simulate almost every type of optical link in the physical layer of a broad spectrum of optical networks. In an industry where time-to-market is imperative for success, users of OptiSystem can minimize time requirements and decrease expenses related to the design of optical systems, links, and components.
