Intelect's Optical Access Products to Be Deployed for Broadband Data Services
At Major International Airport
RICHARDSON, Texas, Sep 5, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Intelect
Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICOM), a leader in intelligent optical networking
solutions, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Intelect Network
Technologies, has received a contract valued in excess of $1 million from
Telsource Corporation to supply Intelect's OmniLYNX products for the
Metropolitan Airports Commission network project at the Minneapolis/St. Paul
Airport. OmniLYNX networking equipment will be installed to provide an OC-12
optical networking backbone for broadband services.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport project will incorporate 20 nodes of Intelect's
OL-600 with V.24/RS232, V.11/RS-422, RS-449, T1, voice, Ethernet and video
modules in addition to Intelect's Network Management System, OmniMANAGER. The
OL-600 will allow the airport to carry an optimal number of media protocols
connecting multiple terminals and facilities. This optical network will
incorporate multiple LANs, information postings on arrival/departure monitors,
phones, public address, security and emergency service functions, and video
surveillance and control systems.
"Intelect's equipment provides the bandwidth and level of service required to
exceed our customer's customer or end-user expectations for voice, video and
data broadband bundled services in one package," says Bill Barnett, president of
Intelect Network Technologies. "By offering a wide variety of protocols in a
single platform, OmniLYNX is ideal for both public and private networks. In this
case, for the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport the OL-600 platform
will provide the smallest footprint with the largest number of services for
expanding converged networks."
"Based on our successful working relationship with Intelect on the Ohio Turnpike
project, we are confident Intelect provides the converged network solution
needed for the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport," says Richard Ackerman, vice
president of new business development for Telsource. "Intelect's OL-600 will be
an integral part of our overall solution, which will run in large part over the
airport's existing single-mode fiber infrastructure."
OmniLYNX allows for guaranteed quality of service (QOS) on critical voice
traffic and provides flexibility in bandwidth allocation permitting IP-based
permanent virtual circuits (PVC) to easily be implemented without interfering
with that traffic. With an installed customer base of more than 4000 nodes
deployed for customers networks worldwide, Intelect's OmniLYNX product family
supports a wide array of data interfaces, allowing diverse types of systems to
be easily integrated into one network. This revolutionary access platform is
designed to allow virtually any type of voice, data or video service to be
delivered from one piece of equipment. Enhanced by support for voice and video
communications in the same network, OmniLYNX products provide a single, more
manageable system for traffic flow information control.
The advantage OmniLYNX provides for Telsource includes a single network
management system (NMS) that is flexible and easily handled with no external
system equipment requirements. It also allows Telsource to offer a superior
solution to the traditional network platforms and remain responsive to its
customers' present and future needs efficiently and economically.
