ADTRAN Introduces Comprehensive Business Ethernet Service Solution.Total Access 5000 Adds Ethernet over Copper Delivery HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- ADTRAN([R]), Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ADTN ADTN Administrative Data Transmission Network ADTN Administrative Data Telecommunications Network ), a leading supplier of next-generation service delivery solutions, today announced an innovative solution to enable carriers to instantly deliver multi-megabit business data services across their entire service area. Unlike other solutions requiring large investment, ADTRAN's FastBreak allows carriers to leverage their existing business services infrastructure, whether it is SONET/SDH, DS1/E1 or HDSL See DSL. HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line . ADTRAN's FastBreak technology provides ubiquitous Ethernet service delivery across the entire network. All of this is provided from a single platform, the ADTRAN Total Access 5000, by introducing two new applications - Ethernet over Copper (EoCu) and Ethernet over 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. . "Businesses require more bandwidth today, so carriers must find an economical means to migrate from Frame Relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. or ATM to Ethernet to meet this demand. The vast majority of business sites will be using copper access for the foreseeable future," said Michael Howard
"With a single, centralized ADTRAN Total Access 5000 and the FastBreak solution, service providers can finally deliver next-generation business services to their entire customer base with minimal capital and operational investment," said Eric Vallone director of Product Management, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. "This provides carriers with instant network-wide footprint of multi-megabit Ethernet by leveraging the most understood and successful business-class transport solution today, DS1/E1. This greatly simplifies the back office and operational aspects of launching a next-generation Ethernet service." To meet the requirements of this application, the Ethernet capabilities of the ADTRAN Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access and Aggregation Platform (MSAP (MultiService Access Platform) An integration device located on a carrier's premises that supports a variety of protocols. It acts like a central switch between all of the customer's communications technologies and the carrier side, which is the PSTN, the ) deliver high-density EoCu access in accordance with Ethernet in the First Mile Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), also known as IEEE 802.3ah, is a collection of protocols specified in IEEE 802.3, defining the Ethernet in the Access networks, i.e. First/Last Mile. (EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) Using Ethernet to provide connectivity from the customer to the carrier. See 802.3ah. ) standards and are complemented by the FastBreak solution using bonding techniques for Ethernet over TDM. ADTRAN's 800 Series devices terminate the full suite of business class DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary technologies at the customer premises for the delivery of Ethernet bandwidth. ADTRAN's EoCu solutions including FastBreak are equally supported on the recently announced ADTRAN Total Access 5006 which is a small, chassis-based system that is part of the ADTRAN Total Access 5000 MSAP family. ADTRAN has also provided enhanced diagnostic and performance management features that improve circuit turn-up and troubleshooting enabling service level assurances (SLAs).
