CellAccess nominated as a finalist in the New Product Achievement Award competition being held at Comnet '95, Washington D.C.MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 1995--CellAccess Technology Inc., a Milpitas-based start-up, was nominated as a finalist for their E1 Broadband Multiplexer CAT2500 for ATM, Frame Relay, SMDS (Switched Multimegabit Data Service) A high-speed, switched data communications service offered by the local telephone companies for interconnecting LANs in different locations. It was introduced in 1992 and became generally available nationwide by 1995. and TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. services in the New Product Achievement Award Competition being held at Comnet '95 in Washington D.C. The CAT2500 Broadband Multiplexer is a powerful, feature rich, low cost platform designed to protect user investment while meeting the evolving private or public E1 or Fractional E1 networking needs. A single platform that can be user configured for ATM, Frame Relay, SMDS or conventional TDM service makes the migration to future networking needs easy and convenient without the cost of replacement. The Broadband Multiplexer comes standard with two V.35/RS449/X.21 ports on the DTE side. A user can add two more ports or cascade another CAT2500 for additional or remote ports. The CAT2500 provides you an E1 interface on the network side and a choice of RS449/V.35/X.21, RS232, Ethernet and E1 ports on the DTE side. CellAccess also offers CAT1500 Broadband Multiplexer with a built-in CSU for the T1 network. Both CAT2500 and CAT1500 have identical feature-set and are packaged identically. The CAT1500/CAT2500 capabilities include conversion from SMDS to Frame Relay and SMDS/Frame Relay to ATM on a per port basis. Both products support traffic shaping for voice, video, data and image. VPI/VCI VPI/VCI Virtual Path Identifier/Virtual Channel Identifier (used in Asynchronous Transfer Mode) , scrambling, cell mapping and OA&M for ATM service. FRAD (Frame Relay Access Device or Frame Relay Assembler Disassembler) A communications device that formats outgoing data into the format required by a frame relay network. It strips the data back out at the other end. capability for Frame Relay network as well as both DQDB (Distributed Queue Dual Bus) The protocol used to control access to an IEEE 802.6 queued packet synchronous exchange (QPSX) network, used for metropolitan area networks (MANs). SNI and DXI SNI capabilities for the SMDS network are supported. The product functions as a simple bridge for Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. through the Ethernet ports in ATM and Frame Relay modes. Both products can be managed by the LAN based SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. Manager through Ethernet port. An SNMP manager or a VT100 (ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. ) terminal can also be directly connected to the CAT1500/CAT2500. In-band SNMP management via the network is also supported. Users can install CAT1500/CAT2500 for their existing networks or migrate to the evolving network by simply downloading new application software appropriate for the new network type -- ATM, Frame Relay or SMDS.
