[0] RAD Data Communications Introduces IPmux-16 TDMoIP Gateway With T3/E3 Interfaces.Business Editors/High Tech Writers Networld+Interop 2001 POINTE CLAIRE, Quebec & LAS VEGAS--May 8, 2001--N+I Show-- -- Carriers Can Now Extend T3 and E3 Circuits Transparently Across IP Networks to Offer Leased Line A private communications channel leased from a common carrier. Most digital lines require four wires (two pairs) for full-duplex transmission. (communications, networking) leased line Services -- RAD Data Communications RAD Data Communications (also known as "RAD") is a privately held corporation, based in Tel Aviv, Israel, that designs and manufacturers specialized networking equipment. It was founded in 1981 by Zohar Zisapel and his brother, Yehuda. , Inc., a leader in unique access solutions for carriers and enterprise networks, today announced the release of its IPmux-16 TDMoIP (Time Division Multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. over Internet Protocol) gateway with T3/E3 interfaces. The IPmux-16 with T3/E3 interfaces allows for transparent, synchronous T3/E3 leased line services over IP networks. This announcement was made at Networld + Interop 2001 in Las Vegas. "The T3 and E3 interfaces for the IPmux-16 make it possible for carriers with IP or Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures to offer - for the first time - protocol transparent T3 and E3 circuits," said Eitan Schwartz, vice president and general manager of RAD's TDMoIP division. "This creates an excellent opportunity to attain new service revenues with a low-cost deployment." "Convergence principles have started to appear in real operating networks," said Pascal Menezes, chief technology officer, IP Internetworking, at Terabeam, a provider of fiberless broadband IP services. "RAD's circuit emulation over IP has been a leading pioneer in this evolution and has already gained real life experience with all the issues. Today the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force and MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. Forum are working on early standards to move circuit emulation over IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching towards mainstream. It is great to see RAD continuing its leadership in this technology with their next iteration of circuit emulation over IP products." David Willis, Program Director for Global Networking Strategies at The Meta Group commented, "Carriers are rapidly moving to a packet-based infrastructure, yet traditional circuit services continue to be their most consistent source of revenues. Providers that can bridge the gap between the circuit-switched and the packet-switched worlds will not only survive but will thrive. Solutions that will enable IP carriers to provide reliable TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. services are a rare find." The IPmux-16 with T3/E3 interfaces is the latest in RAD's IPmux family of TDMoIP gateways. It provides a simple, scalable, and easy-to-configure solution for transporting TDM T3/E3 services over IP and Ethernet-based networks. Carriers and enterprises can implement this technology while protecting their investments in legacy PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). and TDM equipment. In addition to the new T3/E3 interfaces, modules for T1/E1 communications are also available.
