About Intune

Intune Networks was founded in 1999 by John Dunne and Tom Farrell, both UCD graduates who were researching laser technology in European funded programmes,  as the result of key research, that was focused on the calibration of fast tuneable lasers and development of technology that improved the control of these lasers to be used by other companies systems. In the course of the development of the company it became clear that this technology could be applied to the development of an all optical switching and transport network that could bring significant advances in optical networking for the telecommunications market.

 
We are at the beginning of a global economic transition driven by Web Services, Cloud Computing and Mobile Broadband. The next 10 years will require networks to transition from technology and software that is now over 20 years old, to technology and software that is designed to deliver Web Services, on demand, over mobile broadband as well as high speed fibre. Intune has developed a solution that can address these challenges enabling a network designed for Web Services and the Cloud. Intune Networks has developed a Pioneering Technology – Optical Packet Switching and Transport (OPST).  OPST is a next generation networking platform based upon using fast tuning lasers to switch and transport packets of data simultaneously, with a guaranteed quality of consumer experience.

 
OPST is the world’s first ‘whole network virtualization’ platform. This programmable network can be reshaped at any time under the direction of the network operator or its customers using web centric commands. The result is a self-service provisioning network that supports multiple business and service models enabling network operators to deploy new services in real-time with carrier-class reliability and guaranteed quality of experience.

 
In May 2011 Intune Networks announced the commercial availability of its VerismaTM networking product line.  The first product in this line, the iVX8000 system, is a carrier class protocol, application and service agnostic network platform for next generation carrier networks. Intune Networks is the only company that has delivered a commercially available carrier class all optical switching and transport product that collapses the switching and optical layers. With OPST carriers can achieve the reduced costs, energy efficiency, mesh connectivity and dynamic network configuration needed to meet the requirements of an on-demand web services world.

 

The iVX8000 seamlessly provides the capability of delivering any mix of lossless and loss tolerant packet flow services whilst simultaneously adapting in real time to demand driven priority based services. The resultant network utilization and efficiency achieved by directly switching packets optically provides the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO) for any service.
