mdi announced at the European Conference on Communications (ECOC 2009) in Vienna, Austria that it has
received orders for commercial deployment of its groundbreaking eyeD 360 network monitor from Optus,
the division of SingTel in Australia.

As part of the qualification process, mdi is now an approved supplier to SingTel, receiving accelerated
acceptance due to the system’s uniqueness in the industry. “The mdi tool was the only device to easily and
accurately measure in-band OSNR. It also provided unprecedented visibility into our network by monitoring
fiber characteristics in-service.” explained Scott Robertson, technical specialist for data services engineering at
Optus, who led the evaluation of mdi’s eyeD 360.

mdi has also jointly published a case study on the carrier’s evaluation experience which highlights the challenges
that Optus faced with their network which led to them engaging mdi's eyeD expert team to investigate the specific
long haul routes, carry out test and measurement activities, without taking down the live link and provide the
resultant recommendations to take corrective action.
