operational demands. Using broadband packet technologies, data, voice and video services that traditionally required construction of multiple parallel legacy networks would be delivered using one integrated high-speed infrastructure.
The IP backbone, as proposed by Cisco and GI, would contain the Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR), a multi-gigabit, carrier-class, IP backbone router, and the Universal Broadband Router (uBR), a cost-effective, scalable interface between subscriber cable modems and the backbone data network. The packet telephony gateways would be based on the Cisco AS5X00, voice-over-IP gateway servers.
Cisco, with cooperation from Cisco partners, proposes to deliver management, call processing and provisioning/activation solutions used in the AT&T deployment. This combination of leading Internet technologies from Cisco and best-of-breed partners would enable a suite of advanced services that will be more efficient to manage, have greater application flexibility, and lower costs for the end user.
Perhaps, I am wrong, but this does not seem to be good for LKON. JWA |
