Allied Telesis Adds New Capabilities to iMG Gateway Family; Three New Gateways Deliver RF, Wireless and WAN Interface Modularity.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Allied Telesis (formerly Allied Telesyn), a global provider of secure Ethernet/IP access solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of IP Triple Play networks over fiber and copper infrastructure, today announced three new iMG intelligent Multiservice Gateway offerings: the iMG646MOD, iMG613RF and iMG643W. The new iMG family works in conjunction with Allied Telesis' award winning iMAP integrated Multiservice Access Platform to create the industry's most versatile end-to-end IP Triple Play solution.

iMG646MOD - A modular gateway supporting any service over any
        medium. The iMG646MOD provides support for ADSL2+, VDSL2,
        Active Ethernet (100Mb and 1Gb) and GEPON in a service
        provider accessible module. With ultimate WAN flexibility the
        new modular iMG allows service providers to deliver carrier
        class IP Triple Play services over any network.

        The iMG646MOD offers multiple ports for set top boxes and
        optional support for distribution of IP traffic over existing
        home wiring to reduce IPTV deployment time and cost, with
        HPNAv3 and future MOCA support. Advanced home networking is
        supported over 6 data ports with switching and routing
        functionality, and security ensured through firewall and NAT.
        By integrating switching and routing functionality, the
        iMG646MOD eliminates the need for an additional box at the
        customer premise. Designed with OSP in mind, the iMG646MOD is
        temperature hardened, and accommodates fiber cable
        termination.

        iMG613RF - Provides IP Triple Play and RF video in a single
        unit. The iMG613RF, a hybrid RF/IP Video Gateway, provides a
        simple and cost-effective solution for migrating from existing
        analog cable to IPTV. With IP Triple Play and RF Video in a
        single unit, the iMG613RF has full support for advanced video
        services, including layer 3 routing capability, IGMP snooping
        and proxy, and multiple ports for STB support. The iMG613RF
        also converts standard HFC RF Video from an optical to
        electrical signal, for distribution in the home coaxial cable
        plant.

        iMG643W - Enables the distribution of wireless IP services
        over 802.11bg. Used at the subscriber site, the iMG643W takes
        networks from IP Triple Play to IP Quad Play by integrating
        the distribution of wireless IP services over 802.11bg. New
        revenue generating IP services can now be delivered within the
        home environment with no cabling required.

"The new capabilities of the iMG family provide a gateway portfolio unmatched by any other offering in the industry," said Philip Yim, executive vice president of global marketing & product development for Allied Telesis. "The Allied Telesis mission is to ensure that our service provider customers have the best technology and the necessary flexibility required to deliver premium services at an affordable price to their subscribers."

Designed for tomorrow's IP Triple Play networks, the iMGs are optimized for IP video streaming, including support for IGMP snooping and proxy, as well the ability to monitor the quality of the MPEG signal at the customer premise. The iMG600 family also incorporates Allied Telesis' industry leading VoIP solutions supporting SIP, MGCP and H.323 protocols. Service providers can upgrade their voice network, and with QoS and VLAN support take advantage of the reduced costs of VoIP while adding revenue-generating services. The iMG600 family is interoperable with major softswitch vendors and supports value-added supplementary services in addition to basic call functionality.
