Digital Trunk Signaling
Business/Technology Editors
ROCHESTER, NH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 7, 1999--
R2 Allows Broader Deployment of Cabletron's Advanced SSA 700
Remote Access Concentrators in International Markets
Cabletron Systems (NYSE:CS) 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.
