The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and ) agreement with Overture Networks Inc., a leading developer of converged packet access platforms, to supply the new LoopStar(R) 700 next-generation Ethernet access and transport system. The LoopStar 700 Ethernet product family allows carriers and service providers to cost-effectively aggregate, deploy and manage Ethernet and 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 for a host of customer applications. The LoopStar 700 product family provides a complete portfolio of Ethernet multi-service access solutions optimized for whatever type of network facility is available or as the most cost-effective solution for a particular customer application. LoopStar 700 available network interfaces include NxT1/E1, DS3, NxDS3, OC3c/STM1, OC12c/STM4, 100FX, and GigE, as well as drop side (tributary) interfaces of DS1, 10/100 BT, 100FX and GigE. The LoopStar 700 family also provides an industry-leading solution for Pseudo Wire (PWE PWE Pseudo-Wire Emulation PWE Pevek (Russia) PWE Plane-Wave Expansion PWE Public Works Engineering PWE Parabolic Wave Equation PWE Plasma Wave Experiment PWE Previous Work Experience PWE Prolog Word Expert 3) T1/E1/J1 circuit emulation transport, making it economical for business applications or cell site backhaul which require both Ethernet and TDM over a single network service or private network facility. "As carriers look for ways to offer new revenue-generating services and migrate to IP networks, Ethernet access and transport offers key advantages such as easier scalability and greater bandwidth efficiency for packet-based services," said Mike Pratt, president of the Active Infrastructure Business Unit for ADC. "Our strategic partnership with Overture Networks has resulted in the LoopStar 700 best-of-breed solution for carriers requiring a highly flexible system that can be used in a broad range of applications." Several of these applications include Ethernet and TDM business access, cell site backhaul and Mobile Switching Centers (MSC (1) (MSC.Software Corporation, Santa Ana, CA, www.mscsoftware.com) Founded in 1963 by Richard H. MacNeal and Robert G.
