Current Analysis Gives Zhone Technologies' Broadband Infrastructure Equipment Highest Ranking.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2004 Respected IT Research Firm Finds Zhone's Raptor DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. Surpasses Industry in Price and Performance Current Analysis, the fastest growing company in the IT Research Industry, has recognized Zhone Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZHNE), the first company dedicated solely to delivering the full spectrum of next-generation local loop infrastructure equipment, by highlighting the market-leading scalability, deployment flexibility and aggressive pricing of Zhone's Raptor 700 DSLAM. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. reports just released by the research firm, Zhone's Raptor 700 presents a serious threat to other products in its class. "Zhone Technologies Raptor 700 is threatening to competitors, primarily because of its compelling combination of high subscriber port density/scalability metrics, software-selectable ATM/IP transport options, next-generation digital loop carrier In telephone communications, a technology that increases the number of channels in the local loop by converting analog signals to digital and multiplexing them back to the end office. upgradeability, and competitive pricing," said Erik Keith, senior analyst for Broadband Infrastructure, Current Analysis. Current Analysis evaluated the Raptor 700 along with 20 competing solutions as part of a quarterly assessment of leading contenders in the DSLAM market. Current Analysis provides detailed assessments of a wide range of telecom infrastructure, telecom services, IT infrastructure and E-business applications as a component of its syndicated service, CurrentCOMPETE(TM). The Raptor 700, which leverages Zhone's multi-service architecture, is designed for high-end central office deployments and supports one of the highest DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary subscriber ports density/scalability metrics on the markets, at 3,840 ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ports per seven-foot rack (with one WAN uplink per chassis), or 3,648 port per rack with two (redundant) WAN uplinks per chassis. "These metrics surpass the previous long-time DSL subscriber port density/scalability leader, by more than 600 ports per rack," added Keith. "In addition to the key differentiators mentioned above, Zhone asserts aggressive price points for the Raptor family, with per port list prices for fully-loaded Raptor 700s coming in at under USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. 150. As such, Zhone is poised to expand its presence in the highly-contested, extremely price-sensitive Asian market." The Raptor makes the delivery of DSL services attractive and simple, regardless of line count. The Raptor is a versatile platform that is available in a range of environmentally hardened shelf sizes including 7U, 3U and 1U that can be deployed in the CO, in Remote Terminals or in buildings. Zhone's newly introduced Raptor 100 LP offers expands on this full range of deployment options by using power supplied over the uplink's twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). , thereby allowing standards based ADSL service delivery as far as 38,000 feet from a central office. The Raptor family supports a wide variety of line interfaces and uplinks from 10/100baseT to DS1 IMA (Interactive Multimedia Association, Annapolis, MD) An earlier trade association founded in 1988 originally as the Interactive Video Industry Association. It provided an open process for adopting existing technologies and was involved in subjects such as networked services, scripting and OC-12. Zhone's ZMS ZMS Zero Mechanical State Management System provides OSMINE-certified management and provisioning across the entire access network. As an alternative, Zhone also offers a lightweight management tool, ZMS LT, as a convenient and scalable provisioning and management program for a single device or small network. As part of Zhone's multi-service architecture, the Raptor family dramatically lowers carrier's fixed and operational costs of service with delivery over the existing local loop infrastructure, while adding incremental revenue through new service creation. "Zhone is committed to competitively delivering everything our carrier customers needs to deploy and manage digital video, high bandwidth Internet access See how to access the Internet. and cell relay A transmission technology that uses small fixed-length packets (cells) that can be switched at high speed. It is easier to build a switch that switches fixed-length packets than variable ones.
