Originally designed for the unique needs of
utilities, the JungleMUX system supports a
wide range of specialty traffic, including
teleprotection (direct transfer trip, pilot
wire, and IEEE C37.94 optical interface
to protection relays), surveillance video,
substation automation, Ethernet WAN/IP
and telephony.

standards, offering the industry's fastest
path protection switching (<3 ms), and
incorporating special design characteristics
that allow it to meet ANSI/IEEE RFI and
SWC standards for operation in harsh
utility environments.
For highway, roads, bridges, tunnels,
rail transit, freight railway, and airport
applications the JungleMUX system
cost-effectively integrates services
previously provided by proprietary and
legacy standards based equipment. Now
these services can be combined to receive
the full benefits of a SONET network.

The rugged design, compact size and low
power consumption of the JungleMUX also
make it the ideal optical communications
solution for oil, gas, refined products, water
and slurry pipelines. Field proven industrial
applications include electrical distribution
protection and control in mines, as well as
SCADA for onshore or offshore oil and gas
production fields.
