Strategic OEM Agreement
DTM to be integrated into Ericsson's next
generation Multi-Service Access Platform
SUNNYVALE, CA - May 26, 1999 - Dynarc today
announced a strategic OEM agreement with Ericsson,
Inc. Under the agreement, Ericsson's Datacom Access
Product Unit will integrate Dynarc's distributed IP QoS
networking technology into Ericsson's next generation
Multi-Service Access Platforms. Together, these
complementary products will enable the next
generation of optical multi-service IP networks to scale
to greater port densities and QoS capabilities per POP
and per cabinet.
"Dynarc's DTM technology complements Ericsson's
goals for the future. The convergence of telecom and
datacom services will require new network solutions,
and we identify Dynarc's IP QoS technology as one of
the most interesting approaches. The ability to connect
our next generation Servers with it will provide a very
cost effective and IP friendly solution for service
providers. We are very confident in Dynarc's ability to
become a strategic partner, and we don't exclude other
potential ventures together with Dynarc," says John
O'Brien, Assistant Vice President Business
Development, Ericsson.
By adding Dynarc's DTM technology to its Access
product line, Ericsson will be able to provide the
benefits of advanced IP QoS to its customers, including
guaranteed capacity, efficient bandwidth utilization,
high availability, and multicast. As an interconnect
between the next generation Access Gateways, this
technology will provide a very cost-effective solution for
Internet POPs and CO environments. The service
providers will benefit from reduced total cost of
ownership, and the solution allows for quick
deployment of value-added network services.
The two companies will work together to push DTM as
a worldwide standard for high performance
multi-service IP networks. Dynarc and Ericsson focus
on optical Access and Metropolitan networks, and US
standardization bodies have already been
approached. Dynarc and Ericsson invite other
participants, service providers and equipment vendors,
to join this standardization effort.
" This is an important step of developing DTM into a
worldwide, open standard for multi-service IP networks.
Ericsson is a perfect partner for Dynarc in that Ericsson
has a strong commitment for carrier-class IP
networking. Together we have an opportunity to offer
the service providers a network solution that enables
the true convergence of telecom and datacom
services, while reducing the cost of ownership," says
Olov Schagerlund, President & CEO, Dynarc.
About DTM The DTM protocol is designed specifically
for IP. Dynarc has integrated the best of the
connectionless IP paradigm with the dynamic
circuit-oriented DTM architecture to provide high
capacity and scaling at unprecedented speeds while
maintaining the inherent support for bandwidth
management, guaranteed QoS, and IP multicast
functionality. DTM is based on a simple
circuit-switched scheme using time and space division
multiplexing, while running over a shared link, such as a
ring or bus. Through its unique ability to reuse
bandwidth on free link segments, maximum network
throughput is realized. The result is a malleable network
with superior service.
