Allied Telesis Expands IP Triple Play Portfolio With End-to-End VDSL2 Solution.

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 the availability of an end-to-end VDSL2 solution with the award-winning iMAP integrated Multiservice Access Platform and iMG intelligent Multiservice Gateway. Using VDSL2 technology, service providers can generate more revenue from their existing copper plant. Fiber overbuild is no longer required for the distribution of HDTV and other higher bandwidth services -- these high revenue services can be supported on existing plant, and easily distributed in multi-dwelling units.

"With the introduction of end-to-end VDSL2 capability using the iMAP and iMG families, we are yet again demonstrating ultimate flexibility and IP Triple Play access leadership," said Philip Yim, executive vice president of global marketing & product development for Allied Telesis. "No other supplier can deliver a carrier-grade IP access solution with this level of media transparency. It's a very clear market differentiator and one that is separating us from the rest of the market."

At the core of the Allied Telesis VDSL2 solution is the iMAP with a VDSL2 blade, servicing up to 24 VDSL2 customers per line card. In a fully populated iMAP 9700 configuration, up to 408 VDSL2 subscribers can be serviced from a single platform. To complete the solution at the subscriber site, Allied Telesis has expanded its IP Triple Play CPE portfolio with the addition of the iMG800 family of VDSL2 gateways. The new gateway family includes support for ADSL2+ fallback, integrated 802.11bg wireless for home networks, and TR-069 compliance, as well as the leading feature set of home gateway functionality. The iMG800 leverages years of IP Triple Play experience to be the first choice for service providers to deliver quality service offerings. The iMG800 is designed to simultaneously support IP Video and data services with IGMP, QoS and routing capability, full inspection firewall, and NAT for network security.

The new VDSL24 service module expands the technology offering of Allied Telesis' award winning iMAP 9000 family. Recently voted the #1 OSP IP DSLAM by Heavy Reading, the iMAP offers unmatched system flexibility through the ability to 'mix and match' different networking technologies within one platform. It accommodates both fiber and copper-based deployments and supports a wide range of services including SIP POTS, xDSL, DS3, T1, Ethernet, active fiber, GEPON FTTx technologies and 10G backhaul. Ideal for new access deployments and upgrades, the iMAP features a modular chassis design that simultaneously supports different applications from access, transport, and network aggregation. The environmentally-hardened iMAP is RUS-accepted and NEBS-certified. The new VDSL24 service modules support VDSL2 with fallback to ADSL2+ Annex B (AT-TN128) or Annex A (AT-TN130), for full American and European coverage.
