A little news: Cabletron Breaks Bandwidth Barriers With New High-Speed ATM Interfaces; New Modules Deliver Carrier-Class High-Performance OC-48 ATM Switching For SmartSwitch 9500 Solutions ROCHESTER, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 1999--Cabletron Systems (NYSE:CS) today announced a new set of high-performance ATM interfaces for the company's SmartSwitch 9500 cell-switching platform. These new modules provide ATM switching at OC-48 speeds to answer the performance requirements of the most bandwidth-intensive networks for service providers, large enterprises, and government agencies. The new OC-48 interfaces deliver 2.5 Gbps of ATM network access to enable Quality-of-Service (QoS) capabilities for voice, video, and data across Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). "Cabletron's addition of OC-48 capabilities allows Vitts to aggregate increased bandwidth between our key switching facilities," said Chris Oliver, chairman and CEO of Vitts Networks, Inc., a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC). "A capacity increase of this magnitude will enable us to offer new streaming media services and voice-over-IP to our subscribers." The interfaces also reduce costs by connecting directly to ATM "dark fiber," thereby avoiding costly SONET and SDH equipment such as Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs). These ATM advancements further demonstrate Cabletron's commitment to providing service providers and large enterprises with the foundations for high-capacity networks. "With the combination of OC-48 performance, standards-based UNI 4.0 and PNNI routing, and the ability to connect directly to dark fiber, these new interfaces make the SmartSwitch 9500 an ideal choice for high-availability ATM networks," said Byron Young, Cabletron's director of ATM products. -0- T Part Number Description U.S. List Availability Price ANIM-59-1 ATM Network Interface Module $29,995.00 October 1999 (ANIM), 1 port OC-48, single mode fiber (intermediate reach), FC connector.
