Osicom's GigaMux is used in a new brochure from Fore Systems that illustrates the use of Gigamux in Voice, Video and Data networking. Here's a quote from the brochure: "If you had a device that allowed you to use a single strand of fiber as efficiently as 64 strands of fiber, would it be worth an investment of a fraction of the cost of fiber installation... or are you going to continue to believe that you "have plenty of fiber". In the long haul business, companies such as Quest, Level 3 and others actually consider fiber and the bandwidth it represents as a form of currency, used to trade goods and services just like stock and cash. Isn't your fiber cash? The Osicom Gigamux allows for 32 channels BIDIRECTIONAL over a single strand of fiber, with each connection obtaining speeds of up to OC-48! Compare this to a SONET network for pure capacity. Combine this with ATM and you have an unbeatable solution to fiber efficiency". The next page has a graphical diagram with the GigaMux mixed in with Fore's ASX4000.
