Lundy will discuss Flexible Optical Signal Distribution Solutions for Information Flows. He will review the advances in intelligent optical switching, and its applications for defense and intelligence agencies worldwide as they collect, process and disseminate increasingly large amounts of information.

“The need to rapidly manage complex optical networks has never been greater as agencies administer a range of responsibilities, whether it be collecting and distributing intelligence information, conducting lawful interception of communications, or performing signals analysis and processing,” said Mr. Lundy. “MilCIS 2009 is an outstanding gathering of experts and we look forward to presenting solutions that help the intelligence community make the world a safer place. Our optical systems enable agencies to rapidly and remotely create, monitor, and reconfigure optical connections in real time providing instantaneous and broad distribution of intelligence.”


Glimmerglass provides optical systems that enable the rapid distribution of information. Through advanced photonic multicasting, one input can be optically split into multiple perfect copies and each copy can be connected to a separate output. Compact, low power optical switching systems from Glimmerglass handle data rates up to 100 Gb/s, providing agencies scalable optical signal distribution solutions.

Mr. Lundy’s career spans large enterprises, early stage ventures and the U.S. military, where he managed both systems and software with a particular emphasis in optical and wireless communications. He has been the founder and CEO of several early stage ventures, including Wavetrace, Xtera and Opthos. He has held executive positions at IBM, ROLM and Hewlett Packard. Mr. Lundy was the Director and General Manager of the first wireless business unit at IBM where he pioneered PCRadio and data over cellular. His education includes a B.S. from the U.S.

Military Academy at West Point, and an MSEE and MBA from Stanford University. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.
