Telecommunicationsr magazine has awarded the MainStreetXpress 36140/36144
ATM Multiservices Access Switches "Product of the Month" for superior
performance and multiservices capabilities.
This is the second award for the MainStreetXpress 36140/36144 switches, which
also won the New Product Achievement Award at ComNet '98. The
MainStreetXpress 36140/36144 products, from Siemens and Newbridge, offer
service providers a multiservice solution that enables them to roll out many types
of services quickly and easily without having to worry about installing new
nodes, purchasing parallel equipment for each protocol, and committing to one
particular service.
Designed for use as customer premises or customer located equipment, the
36140/36144 switches, with 11 and five slots respectively, enable the
consolidation of multiple types of traffic for transport over an ATM network. The
36140/144 multiservice capabilities provide support for ATM, leased line, frame
relay, SMDS DXI, and LAN interfaces. The high-capacity access switches offer
a non-blocking throughput of 2 Gbit/s and are fully redundant to assure high
availability. As with all MainStreetXpress products, both will be fully
manageable by the MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager and
MainStreetXpress 45020 Element Manager.
