Accelerated Networks Confirms Interoperability with Atlas Onyx SDSL Router.MOORPARK/SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 1999-- Onyx SDSL See DSL. SDSL - Single-line Digital Subscriber Line Router Seamlessly Speeds Traffic to Accelerated AN-3200 Central Office Concentrator Accelerated Networks and Atlas Communication Engines Monday announced that Atlas' Onyx SDSL(TM) customer premises equipment See CPE. (CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment ) has passed certification testing with Accelerated's central office concentration platform, the AN-3200 multi-service access 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 ). Carriers can connect subscribers to core ATM networks using ATM transport over SDSL by installing the Onyx router at customer premises and concentrating subscriber lines at the central office with Accelerated's AN-3200. The interoperability of the products further indicates the broad array of multi-vendor options that carriers now have when deploying 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 services. Carriers can be assured that their deployments of Accelerated's central office equipment will seamlessly support subscribers using a wide range of DSL CPE including the Onyx SDSL Router. Accelerated's AN-3200 MSAP is available in 4- and 20-slot configurations, and performs DSL and T1 subscriber line concentration at central office locations. It can also be configured for regional POP gateway functions, delivering central office traffic to upstream voice and data networks such as the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. , Internet, ATM networks, or corporate networks. Supporting both ATM and frame-based HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) A data link protocol from ISO for point-to-point communications over serial links. Derived from IBM's SDLC protocol, HDLC has been the basis for numerous protocols including X.25, ISDN, T1, SS7, GSM, CDPD, PPP and others. over SDSL, the Onyx router connects subscribers to a wide range of central office DSL concentrators, including Accelerated's AN-3200. Supporting data rates of up to 2.3 Mbps over normal telephone wire, the Onyx SDSL Router is designed to give a provider's customers high-speed Internet See broadband. and branch/small office connectivity. "After comprehensive testing, Accelerated Networks verified the interoperability of our Onyx router, which allows subscribers to take advantage of the increasing availability of SDSL services from a wide range of DSL access providers," said David Adleman, Atlas' director of business development. "Adding Accelerated Networks as a partner is important as it will help us reach markets that were previously not accessible."
