The FrontRunner(TM) 3200 represents an advanced level of integration of optical, IP/datacom and telecom technologies and offers service providers a cost-effective, multi-service, carrier-class optical Ethernet access solution. Based upon Jedai's SmartPacket(TM) and LightXpander(TM) technologies, the FrontRunner 3200 delivers exponentially higher bandwidth and networking intelligence for business applications. As part of Jedai's overall Intelligent IP Optical Access solution, the FrontRunner enables broadband service providers to economically offer business customers the following services over their fiber networks: tiered Internet A Tiered Internet generally relates to a proposed new internet architecture that would allow telecommunications providers to divide traffic over their lines into different tiers. and data services up to 1 Gbps per business, virtual private networking (VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. ) and telecommuting telecommuting, an arrangement by which people work at home using a computer and telephone, transmitting work material to a business office by means of a modem and telephone lines; it is also known as telework. , transparent local area network and virtual local area network services (TLS (1) (Transport Layer Security) A security protocol from the IETF that is based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol developed by Netscape. TLS uses digital certificates to authenticate the user as well as authenticate the network (in a wireless and VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network ), digital video conferencing See videoconferencing. (communications) video conferencing - A discussion between two or more groups of people who are in different places but can see and hear each other using electronic communications. , streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. and distance learning, and both packet and traditional telephony services (VoIP, DS-1 and DS-3). "With the FrontRunner we've brought carrier-class performance and Ethernet ubiquity together", said Tony Pierson, vice president of marketing for Jedai. "In order for service providers to access a broad base of business customers with fiber services, it is imperative that they be on the best cost curves while delivering reliable, guaranteed quality, high-value services. Our `Runner' product line and our IP WaveFront Noun 1. wavefront - (physics) an imaginary surface joining all points in space that are reached at the same instant by a wave propagating through a medium wave front Architecture deliver the required features, performance and economic return previously unattainable for service providers." The FrontRunner 3200 provides full-featured routing and switching, telephony circuit emulation services, bandwidth control and management, multi-layer classification and Quality of Service. The hardware and software features support a full suite of data, telephony and voice applications including 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. and T1/T3 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. voice. The product features a modular design and supports multiple Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100 BaseT, 100 BaseFX, DS-1 and DS-3 network interfaces. "As the world moves forward to all IP networks", said Jedai vice president of systems engineering Frank Schumeg, "We must continue to support legacy voice services and provide the bridge from legacy to IP networks. In doing so, we have created unique technologies that maintain telephony industry standards for quality, latency and timing over Ethernet." Two key features of Jedai's FrontRunner 3200 are its support of protected ring topologies and its channelized T1 and T3 voice transport. The product generates and/or receives telephony network clock timing, ensures proper clock propagation through the network and provides 50ms protection switching. Jedai's FrontRunner 3200 is available immediately for field trials and is being demonstrated this week at the Western Cable Show. The product will be generally available for larger deployments in early 2002.
