Bell Atlantic selects DSC's broadband cross-connect systems.DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 1997-- DSC's Systems to Provide for Delivery of Broadband Services DSC (1) (Digital Signal Controller) A microcontroller and DSP combined on the same chip. It adds the interrupt-driven capabilities normally associated with a microcontroller to a DSP, which typically functions as a continuous process. See microcontroller and DSP. Communications Corporation announced today the signing of a contract with Bell Atlantic Network Services, Inc. for DSC's Integrated Multi-Rate Transport Node (iMTN(R)). The iMTN is a Synchronous Optical Network (networking) Synchronous Optical NETwork - (SONET) A broadband networking standard based on point-to-point optical fibre networks. SONET will provide a high-bandwidth "pipe" to support ATM-based services. (SONET) broadband digital cross-connect A network device used by telecom carriers and large enterprises to switch and multiplex low-speed voice and data signals onto high-speed lines and vice versa. It is typically used to aggregate several T1 lines into a higher-speed electrical or optical line as well as to distribute signals system designed for advanced services such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode See ATM. (communications) Asynchronous Transfer Mode - (ATM, or "fast packet") A method for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth using a fixed-size packet (called a cell). See also ATM Forum, Wideband ATM. ATM acronyms. Indiana acronyms. (ATM) transport and video applications. Financial terms were not disclosed. Bell Atlantic's selection of DSC's iMTN system is the result of an extensive product evaluation which confirmed the iMTN's suitability for high-capacity broadband transport services The collective functions of layers 1 through 4 of the OSI model. . This announcement builds on a 10-year relationship between Bell Atlantic and DSC, which began with the product standardization of the DSC DEXCS 3/1/0 digital cross-connect system. Numerous iMTN systems have been delivered to Bell Atlantic and are currently installed. The iMTN system enables telecom service providers like Bell Atlantic to offer key product capabilities such as Asynchronous-to-SONET gateway, OC-3 and OC-12 optical interfaces, and remotable network interface bays. "The capabilities provided by the iMTN meet our goal of building a fault-tolerant, broadband infrastructure," said Nancy Sayer, director of network design for Bell Atlantic Network Services.

Telco Sales, said, "We are pleased that Bell Atlantic has selected our next generation transmission system for deployment in its rapidly growing broadband network. DSC's iMTN platform will play a key role in advancing the type of services Bell Atlantic offers its customers." DSC's iMTN cross-connect system utilizes the latest computing technologies applied to the telecommunications environment. RISC processors and object-oriented software are used in a fault-tolerant, high-bandwidth SONET platform. The iMTN enables telecommunications service providers such as Bell Atlantic to manage unprecedented amounts of bandwidth. Network service providers now have a simple way to transition their asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. networks to the newer SONET standards while economically deploying emerging broadband services such as distance learning, ATM and customer-controlled virtual private networks. DSC Communications Corporation is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of digital switching, transmission, access and private network system products for the worldwide telecommunications marketplace. -0- TRADEMARKS: iMTN is a registered trademark of DSC Communications Corporation.
