Telco Systems Introduces New Multi-Gigabit Ethernet IP Platform; New T5G Provides Small-Medium Enterprises with Flexible, Cost Effective, High-Density Gigabit Ethernet Solution.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers FOXBORO, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2002 Telco Systems, a leader in network edge technology and IP switching Switching TCP/IP packets at high speed. Ipsilon's IP Switch started the trend and various vendors followed suit with different approaches, including Cisco's tag switching and 3Com's Fast IP. The goal was to switch IP packets faster than traditional router-based layer 3 forwarding. platforms, today introduced the T5G multi-Gigabit Ethernet IP platform. The T5G is specifically geared toward data concentration and aggregation needs in the core, data center, and server farms of small-medium enterprises and the high-speed network aggregation requirements of medium-large enterprises. As the newest member of the T-Series enterprise product line, the T5G is a high density, non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet switch capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports over copper with 10/100/1000BaseT or 1000BaseSX fiber with two GBIC (GigaBit Interface Converter) A hardware module used to attach network devices to fiber-based transmission systems such as Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. (Gigabit Ethernet Interface Converter) modules allowing network extension up to 70 km. "By incorporating a non-blocking switching architecture with wire-speed performance, the T5G propagates network traffic over the existing network infrastructure while eliminating bottlenecks and enhancing network performance," said Moshiko Levhar, director, IP product management, Telco Systems. "This provides small-medium enterprises with a flexible, cost-effective, and high-density Gigabit Ethernet switch solution." Equipped with BiNOS (BATM BATM Bark At the Moon (Ozzy Osbourne album) BATM Belgian Association of Travel Managers Inter Networking Operating System), the T5G Layer 2 switch offers simplified installation plus ease of operation and administration through support for a broad range of standards and enhanced network functionality. Among the T5G features under the BiNOS umbrella are: -- Link Aggregation - Dynamically broadens bandwidth between switches helping to circumvent possible network bottlenecks. -- Virtual LANs - Allows network administrators to improve bandwidth capabilities and reduce overhead by segmenting users into different groups. -- Per VLAN Spanning Tree - Enables the use of Spanning Tree for redundancy on multiple VLANs. -- IGMP Multicast Support - Reduces the amount of bandwidth needed for applications like video-conferencing and online learning. -- Quality of Service (QoS) - Ensures proper flow control and traffic prioritization in a network. -- Network Redundancy - Sub-second Rapid Spanning Tree and physical resilient links for maximum network availability -- Transparent LAN Services - Secure end-to-end tunneling for private network like functionality. -- Secure Management - RADIUS and SSH2 management access The T5G supports a vast amount of standards and features that are needed for today's high-performance networks. The T5G supports IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. standards 802.1d Spanning Tree, 802.1p Class of Service with remarking, 802.1Q VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network tagging, 802.1w Rapid Spanning and others. Transparent LAN services, resilient ports, Type of Service, and telnet client are part of the T5G's robust feature set. The T5G is being featured at Telco Systems' booth 6667 at Networld + Interop.
