Carrier Access Corporation (Nasdaq:CACS CACS Center for Advanced Computer Studies CACS Computer Audit, Control and Security CACS Carrier Access Corporation (stock symbol) CACs Criteria Air Contaminants CACS Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies CACS Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring ), a leading provider of broadband access equipment, will introduce the Adit(tm) 600 Customer Service Terminal (CST CST abbr. 1. Central Standard Time 2. convulsive shock treatment CST Central Standard Time Noun 1. ) at the SUPERCOMM 2000 trade show in Atlanta, June 6 - 8 (Booth No. 8007). The Adit 600 defines a new class of equipment that combines multi-network access, multi-media transport, and multi-service delivery into one platform. The result is an extremely cost-effective, compact, flexible solution that is designed to enable service providers to deliver business voice, IP, high-speed data, and private line services using the most economical broadband access available at customer or central office locations. SUPERCOMM Demonstrations At Booth 8007 The Adit 600 Customer Service Terminal will be demonstrated at SUPERCOMM 2000 in Atlanta June 6 -8. The demonstrations will highlight the flexibility of the Adit 600 platform in supporting multiple hands-on voice, data and Internet-based applications. New service interoperations with an ATM router, ATM switch, and next-generation softswitch architectures using TDM, Frame Relay, ATM and IP network infrastructures will be shown. Access With No Limits(tm) The Adit 600, an extension of the CACTUS platform introduced in December 1999, is the first of several Adit family products designed to support the needs of service providers faced with a variety of network technologies, transport media, and customer service interfaces. By incorporating the solutions into one remotely managed platform, the Adit 600 reduces installation and maintenance costs, while opening the door to new revenue-generating opportunities made possible by IP-enabled applications and softswitch architectures. "Adit represents our commitment to create truly flexible, scalable products that address the needs of all service providers to rapidly roll-out new services and generate additional revenue," said Barry Kantner, vice president of marketing for Carrier Access. "The Adit family provides significant advantages for any network architecture --TDM, Frame Relay, ATM or IP, enabling the core network technologies to evolve without requiring new access devices. Adit products essentially enable service providers to offer their customers any bandwidth, any service, anywhere." The Adit 600 platform achieves high service density with a compact, shoebox-size design incorporating six universal slots for multi-port network or customer service cards. The Adit 600 is designed to support multiple network architectures (ATM, IMA, IP, FR, TDM), providing a single platform that is compatible with both existing and new network technologies. Network access rates are scalable up to 32 Mb/s by connecting multiple transport lines (DSL, E1, or T1). Service providers can easily increase bandwidth and service capacity as needed as needed prn. See prn order. . A variety of customer service interface cards (DSL, IP/Ethernet, T1, FXO, FXS, ISDN, V.35/Frame Relay) enable service providers to offer up to 48 voice lines, or any combination of voice lines, PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). voice trunks, and high-speed data Internet access services required by the customer. The compact size of the Adit 600 provides up to 96 voice lines or 80 BRI lines in only two units of rack space -- dramatically increasing service densities in comparison to any other solution.
