This report just hit my news wire: <<< Newbridge Networks Trials IP Service Over ATM Newsbytes - June 25, 1998 12:58 HERNDON, VIRGINIA, U.S.A., 1998 JUN 25 (NB) -- By Sylvia Dennis, Newsbytes. Newbridge Networks [NYSE:NN] has announced that Suburban Cable Television has installed an end-to-end asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switching system to support Internet Protocol (IP) traffic across its network. The Virginian company is testing the Siemens/Newbridge MainStreetXpress 36170 multiservices switch, the MainStreetXpress 36150 access switch and MainStreetXpress 46020 network manager on its network, officials said, in order to create single, unifying technology capable of delivering multiple traffic types without any performance delays. The alternative to using IP over ATM, Newsbytes notes, would be to use a traditional router -- a technology that Newbridge says would produce performance delays. According to Jerry Lenfest, Surburban's chairman, the ATM multiservices platform it has installed can simultaneously support virtual private networks (VPNs) and IP services including Internet, intranets, and extranets. "Our new network enables us to offer frame relay, private line and ATM services to competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), Internet service providers (ISPs), inter exchange carriers, and other enterprises," he said, adding that the company is well-positioned to meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements for entering the long distance service provider market. Newsbytes notes that Suburban Cable Television currently serves around 990,000 customers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, making it the largest cable operator in the tristate area.
