Avici Systems Announces OC-192c/STM-64 Support for the TSR.Business/Technology Editors N. BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001 New Line Card Handles 10 Gigabits/second of Traffic or More than 500,000 Simultaneous Voice Over IP Calls Over a Single Fiber Avici Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:AVCI), a leading provider of scalable core routing solutions for intelligent IP-over-optical networks, today announced the availability of its OC-192c/STM-64 or 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) line card for the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) Refers to a program that remains in memory when the user exits it in order that it be immediately available at the press of a hotkey. (R). Up to 20 OC-192c ports can be installed in a single TSR chassis. The introduction of the OC-192c, or "concatenated," module builds on Avici's currently shipping channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. OC-192 product offering, which supports four multiplexed 2.5 gigabit channels on a single 10 gigabit link. Also announced was Avici's dual port OC-48c module that extends the number of OC-48c ports per TSR chassis from 40 to 80 for unmatched port density. Both the OC-192c and dual port OC-48c line cards are available first quarter 2001. Unlike competitive offerings, Avici's new OC-192c and OC-48c modules do not require changes to installed systems chassis, providing superior investment protection and true plug-and-play support. The new line cards are supported by Avici's Composite Link feature, which enables customers to dynamically aggregate up to 16 OC-192c interfaces to create 160 Gbps connections between routers. This feature simplifies IP routing table A database in a router that contains the current network topology. See routing protocol. entries and enables upgrades from OC-48c to OC-192c while the link is in service, eliminating the network disruption usually associated with connection upgrades. This underscores Avici's commitment to non-disruptive scalability for leading service providers and their backbone infrastructures. "Support for OC-192c and our high-port density OC-48c module within our current platform reinforces the TSR's unmatched scalability," said Steve Kaufman, president and COO of Avici Systems. "These new products will enable our customers to build out their networks in response to the continued growth in bandwidth demand, while at the same time, will lower the costs of building and operating high speed networks. We believe the enhanced support for 10 gigabit and high-port density OC-48c interfaces demonstrates Avici's ongoing ability to meet the demanding requirements of next-generation service provider networks." Avici's TSR, a highly reliable and scalable platform capable of in-service upgrades, enables carriers to provision bandwidth as they need it. With the TSR, Avici is capitalizing on the rapidly expanding market opportunity for core routers A router that resides within the middle or backbone of the network rather than at its periphery. The routers that make up the backbone of the Internet are core routers.
