A couple weeks ago Mike Birck made a comment at an analysts conference about AN2100. He said that this thing could eliminate the need for Class 4 voice Switches in the network. In other words, actual phone customers are connected to Class 5 switches and Class 4 switches are used to interconnect the class 5 switches. A class 4 switch is the data equivalent of a router. Since this AN2100 converts everything to ATM, his point was that the Class 4 voice switch could be replaced by the cheaper smaller ATM router. This would be a huge windfall for network operators and would mean a significant advantage for the AN2100. The only down-side was that Jackmann (sp?) said that Sprint did some development on their side to make this thing work and that Tellabs would need to do development work to sell this to any other customers. I would think that 2000 will be the very big year for this thing.
