Well...its still going up, so here's news: (CA-COPPER-MOUNTAIN)(CMTN) Tuckersmith Communications Selects Copper Mountain's VantEdge 3000 Access BRAS to IP-Enable Existing ATM Access Network Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2003-- Leading Independent Telco Plans to Use VantEdge to Aggregate Existing Alcatel and AFC DSLAMs onto Gigabit Ethernet Backbone Copper Mountain Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CMTN), a leading provider of intelligent broadband access solutions, today announced that Tuckersmith Communications, an innovative Canadian telecommunications provider, has selected the VantEdge 3000 Access BRAS to IP-enable its existing ATM access network. Tuckersmith intends to use the VantEdge Access BRAS as a multi-purpose aggregation platform to groom ATM access traffic and virtual circuits onto their Ethernet backbone. Specifically, Tuckersmith will deploy the VantEdge to aggregate traffic from its existing remote terminal (RT) DSLAMs, terminate subscriber virtual circuits (VCs) and route aggregated traffic from the VantEdge onto their Ethernet backbone. "Evolving our existing broadband access network requires a cost-effective aggregation solution with the right combination of ATM and IP networking, BRAS functionality and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities," said Sharon Chuter, General Manager at Tuckersmith. "Copper Mountain's VantEdge Access BRAS is unique in offering these capabilities today in a single platform." "The VantEdge Access BRAS enables carriers such as Tuckersmith to IP-enable their ATM access networks today -- gaining significant capital and operational savings while preparing for new services such as video," said Keith Higgins, Vice President of Marketing at Copper Mountain Networks. "We are pleased that Tuckersmith chose Copper Mountain over its incumbent vendors for this mission-critical application."
