ADTRAN Introduces New Fully Redundant IAD for Mission Critical Applications; ATLAS 890 Ensures System Availability and Increases Port Density.Business Editors & Technology Writers Networld+Interop 2001 Booth No. 3115 HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2001 ADTRAN, 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 ) the market leader in Enterprise Integrated Access Devices (IADs) today announced a new member of the industry leading ATLAS family of IADs - the ATLAS 890. The ATLAS 890 is a fully redundant system utilizing dual system controllers and dual power supplies for use in T1, T3, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. and Frame Relay applications. "The ATLAS 890 doubles the capacity of our current ATLAS products," said Tim Saunders, ADTRAN vice president of product management, Enterprise Networks Division. "This is the first ATLAS product to offer complete system redundancy, an option that is now becoming essential for many of our customers with mission critical applications." The ATLAS 890 is a superset of ADTRAN's flagship ATLAS 800 PLUS platform and allows users to converge large voice and data networks with assured system availability. The ATLAS 890 performs the functions found in multiplexers, channel banks, 1/0 and 3/1/0 cross connects, Frame Relay access devices/concentrators/switches, IP routers, and ISDN switches all in a fully redundant platform. It also includes an integral voice switchboard and dial plan to dynamically and intelligently switch voice/video and data calls based on the telephone number dialed. Beta customers are already experiencing the benefits of the ATLAS 890. According to Dominic Pagliuca, manager of Advanced Technology for iPhysicianNet, "We selected the ATLAS 890 as the solution for our video network because it provided us the reliability and large number of ISDN ports we needed, at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions. Our business is to provide crucial videoconferencing links for our nationwide network of physicians and pharmaceutical companies. We needed a fully redundant system that could support our current network design, while at the same time providing the option for future growth. The ATLAS 890 was the perfect choice." The ATLAS 890 supports multiple network interfaces including T1/FT1/DSX-1, E1/PRA, ISDN, PRI/BRI, V.35 and 10/100BaseT Ethernet and is designed for use in high-port density applications. With the modularity of ATLAS 890, users can now support switched or multiplexed Voice/Data traffic 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. or packetized networks. All ATLAS 800 series IADs support common interface modules to provide a variety of voice and data solutions such as T1 to PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party. (Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. conversion, 3/1/0 DACSing, and ISDN switching. The ATLAS 890 systems will range in list price from $12,495 for the fully redundant models to $8,995 for non-redundant models. Shipment is scheduled for June 2001.
