Allied Telesis Supplies IdeaOne Telecom with Metro Ethernet Network.Carrier Selects iMAP as Access and Transport Platform for Business and Residential Services SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Allied Telesis Allied Telesis is a telecommunications company, formerly Allied Telesyn. Headquartered in Japan, their North American headquarters are in Bothell, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. , a global provider of secure Ethernet/IP access solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of IP Triple Play networks over copper and fiber infrastructure, today announced that IdeaOne Telecom has selected Allied Telesis to provide a secure 10GB Ethernet/IP switch ring within Fargo, N.D. IdeaOne, a competitive local exchange carrier, delivers high-speed data service to business customers over the network, and soon plans to add IP-based voice services. At the center of IdeaOne's IP Triple Play-enabled network is the iMAP integrated Multiservice Access Platform and iMG intelligent Multiservice Gateway. The Allied Telesis solution provides pure Ethernet/IP transport and last mile access, and offers scalability of 64k-10GB - making it an ideal replacement for IdeaOne's SONET network. The iMAP supports IP, MAC, protocol filtering, classifiers and access lists to create a secure IP environment. Complimentary to the iMAP, the iMG family of intelligent ONTs (optical network terminals) integrates voice over IP via SIP (1) (Session Initiation Protocol) An IP telephony signaling protocol developed by the IETF. Primarily used for voice over IP (VoIP) calls, SIP can also be used for video or any media type; for example, SIP has been used to set up multi-player Quake games. , layer-2 switching, layer-3 routing, and security. For added convenience, all equipment is managed by AlliedView[TM] an IP Triple Play NMS/EMS management system. "We chose the iMAP solution for its advanced technology, superb value, and ability to accommodate our future service demands," said IdeaOne Assistant Manager Darrel Bachman. "The Allied Telesis network offers us an affordable means to provide for the growing bandwidth needs of customers in our service area." IdeaOne currently offers telephone and data communication services for residential and commercial customers through its own fiber optic and switch-based infrastructure. Its network is composed of fiber optic cable Noun 1. fiber optic cable - a cable made of optical fibers that can transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light fibre optic cable transmission line, cable, line - a conductor for transmitting electrical or optical signals or electric power placed throughout the greater Fargo area. In addition to serving business customers on the new Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer network, IdeaOne anticipates expanding IP-based services to Fargo residences in the near future. The Allied Telesis iMAP solution enables IdeaOne to grow its network in tandem Adv. 1. in tandem - one behind the other; "ride tandem on a bicycle built for two"; "riding horses down the path in tandem" tandem with revenue producing services, such as Voice over IP, high speed Internet, and ADSL/VDSL service for multiple-dweller communities. "IdeaOne's citywide Ethernet network allows for the delivery of next-generation IP-based services currently unavailable using SONET technology," said Philip Yim, executive vice president of global marketing & product development for Allied Telesis. "The 10GB Ethernet iMAP transport ring will allow IdeaOne to rapidly increase its portfolio of commercial and residential customers and services." Allied Telesis' iMAP provides carrier-class next-generation and traditional telco services over Ethernet/IP. Recently voted the #1 OSP (Online Service Provider) See online service.
