BelAir Networks recently introduced what it is calling the first optical line interface designed to connect metro-scale Wi-Fi networks to existing metro fiber optical networks. The company will offer two “intermediate reach” interfaces that are compliant with IEEE’s 802.3u 100BaseFX fast Ethernet standard.
