Zhone Introduces the Raptor 100 LP; Line-Powered DSLAM Instantaneously Extends ADSL Services up to 38,000 Feet.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2004 Zhone Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZHNE), the first company dedicated solely to delivering the full spectrum of next-generation local loop infrastructure equipment, today announced the availability of its new line powered 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. , the Raptor 100 LP. The compact Raptor 100 LP provides next-generation DSLAM features, with support for central office, remote terminal and non-powered wiring cabinet deployments. As part of Zhone's multi-service architecture, the Raptor family dramatically lowers carrier's fixed and operational costs of service delivery over the existing local loop infrastructure while adding incremental revenue with new service creation. The new Raptor 100 LP offers a full range of deployment options, allowing service delivery as far as 38,000 feet from a central office 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). . In its broadband survey, the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association found that 45% of its members cite excessive loop lengths as one of the primary barriers to wide-scale 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 deployments. The new Raptor 100 LP addresses this formidable issue by extending the reach of conventional standards-based DSL circuits to more than twice the serving area of traditional DSLAMs. "The Raptor family of DSLAMs is all a carrier customer 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. ATM uses a type of cell relay technology. services from a single remote platform," said Steve Rogers The name Steve Rogers can refer to:
The Raptor makes the delivery of DSL services attractive, 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. 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. The Raptor Next-Generation DSLAM provides the highest density and lowest cost per port of any DSL platform on the market today. In addition, the Raptor is the only family of DSLAMs that offer software upgradeability to a fully functional voice and data NGDLC NGDLC Next Generation Digital Loop Carrier , and provides in-service software-selectable ATM or IP uplinks. Zhone products are installed at over 300 carriers and serve over 11 million subscribers worldwide. About Zhone Technologies, Inc. (Zhone) Zhone Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZHNE) is the first company dedicated solely to delivering the full spectrum of next-generation local loop infrastructure equipment. The company was founded by the senior management team that grew telecommunications pioneer Ascend Communications, Inc., from its startup roots to the multi-billion-dollar company acquired by Lucent Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :LU) in June 1999. Zhone's Multi Service architecture allows carriers to concurrently deliver voice, new premium data and video services over copper or fiber access lines. Zhone provides carriers with an elegant migration from legacy circuit-based technology to packet based networks while substantially reducing operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales .
