The Franklin Telecom Hurricane/155 is the most advanced LAN Adapter and hub
available today. Franklin now provides LAN users with the fastest network possible with
a complete family of 155Mbps Adapters and hubs. Network Interface Cards (NIC) cover
the full spectrum: ISA, EISA, VESA and PCI. Hubs are available in 8 port stackables or
22 port rack mount.

Hurricane incorporates far more performance enhancing features than Fast Ethernet,
small packet ATM or FDDI. In Local Area Networks that must integrate with large files,
graphics and video, Hurricane makes possible the creation of extremely fast LAN
systems that will benchmark 2 to 3 times the performance of competing technologies.

Hurricane/155 Features:
ATM speed of 155Mbps
Uses standard 4 pair wire and RJ45 connectors
3 times faster than FAST Ethernet
50% faster than FDDI
Software systems include Novell, Microsoft's WFWG & NT 2 to 3 times faster
than ATM and LAN Emulation software
Connects to carrier supplied ATM services and enterprise ATM switches at the
correct speed
Based on today's LAN standards
LAN Emulation implemented in HARDWARE
Cards implement Adapter and internal HUB features in one
No external HUB required on systems up to 16 Nodes
Complete family ISA - EISA - VESA - PCI
Priced below all 100Mbps and 155Mbps LANs

Offerings:

NIC Cards:

Franklin H155 high performance LAN hardware solutions are offered as complete Local
Area Network Cards, hubs, concentrators and repeaters.

Hurricane provides a new level of performance by moving the LAN Emulation software
and Packet burst into hardware. This is a powerful combination that captures the high
155Mbps data rates of ATM without giving the gained performance back through
software LAN emulation. Hurricane is the first to put LAN emulation in HARDWARE.
Hurricane takes advantage of the performance gains possible with bigger packets by
implement a packet burst system that sends 16K bytes at a time. The overhead
reduction this provides combined with the 155Mbps transfer rate makes Hurricane the
fastest LAN hardware available reaching a speed of 12 Megabytes/second.

The race is on to increase bandwidth in Local Area Networks. The solutions to date help,
but their designs can't reach the speeds today's computers can provide. Today's
Servers can move 20 Megabytes/second, leaving 16MB/sec of expensive computer
power unused. Even though standard small packet switched ATM sounds fast
"155Mbps" LAN Emulation software and short 53 byte packets slow it down and put it in
the same or an even lower performance range as "FAST" Ethernet. The very expensive
FDDI hardware still does better in this performance race reaching 8 Megabytes/second.
FDDI wins because the efficiency of its bigger 4K bytes on a LAN.
