Cabletron to Deliver Application-Aware Remote Access Solutions Supporting E1 R2 Digital Trunk Signaling R2 Allows Broader Deployment of Cabletron's Advanced SSA 700 Remote Access Concentrators in International Markets ROCHESTER, NH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 7, 1999-- Cabletron Systems (NYSE:CS - news) today announced support for R2 digital trunk signaling - a standard common to channelized E1 networks - in its next-generation SmartSwitch Access (SSA) 700 remote access concentrators. R2 signaling support now allows international customers without access to ISDN/PRI digital trunk services to cost-effectively deploy high-speed V.90 modem access over existing channelized E1 services with Cabletron's SSA 700 solutions. Cabletron is the first in the industry to deliver end-to-end, application-aware remote access across dial-up PPP connections, thereby enabling advanced security policies and accounting in support of business communications across intranet, extranets and the Internet. In addition to providing visibility into actual IP application ''flows'' that are driving remote access usage in enterprise and small to mid-size service provider environments, the SSA 700: •Allows Layer 4 security and accounting policies to be applied in real-time on a per-flow, per-user basis•Allows organizations to deploy secure, accountable extranet access to increase revenue opportunities and improve business processes•Allows organizations to more effectively control remote access resource utilization and plan for future infrastructure deployment In addition to providing granular visibility into business-critical IP applications that drive remote access usage, Cabletron's SSA 700 family is fully compatible with both T1/E1 ISDN PRI and channelized E1 services, allowing broader deployment of advanced dial access services in international markets. ''Customers in many regions of the world cannot order ISDN PRI service because their telecommunications infrastructures don't support it,'' explained Bill Burger, Cabletron's senior marketing director of service provider solutions. ''However, businesses in these countries can now take advantage of existing channelized E1 telco services to deploy V.90 (56 Kbps) modem dial access using Cabletron's SSA 700 solution. R2 support is another example of Cabletron's commitment to providing solutions for service providers worldwide.'' The SSA supports up to 48/60 simultaneous ISDN and V.90 56 Kbps modem sessions across one or two ISDN PRI T1/E1/R2 lines. At $250 per modem port for the stackable dual PRI/T1 model, and $233 per port for dual PRI/E1/R2, the SSA solutions are priced as much as 50% below competitors' offerings. Cabletron's SSA 700 solutions are also available as High-Speed Interface Modules (HSIMs) for the SmartSwitch 2000, 6000 and 9000 platforms. Pricing and Availability Cabletron's SSA 700 solutions are currently shipping to end users, service providers and channel partners. R2 support for selected countries will be available in October 1999.
