<Lucent Technologies today announced that Frontier Corporation (NYSE:FRO - news) has purchased its next generation access equipment which alleviates congestion in central office switches by separating voice and data traffic. Called the AnyMedia(TM) Access System, the new digital loop carrier (DLC) was designed by Bell Labs and is 50 percent smaller than traditional DLCs. Frontier will begin installing the system in Monroe, N. Y., in August to expand and enhance the capabilities of that central office. Broader network deployment by Frontier is planned for September when the AnyMedia Access System will be generally available. Frontier serves more than one million local access lines through 34 local exchange companies in 13 states, and over 140,000 access lines in 29 states as a competitive local service provider. DLCs traditionally have acted as an extension of a switch, connecting customers to the public switched telephone network to deliver their voice and data services. The AnyMedia Access System not only connects customers to the public network, but it also has intelligent software that separates the data from the voice traffic and routes it to the Internet or other data network, alleviating costly switch congestion.>> very significant product that will very liley impact alternative voice switch routing products that many data switch vendors are planning; seems like these large investmenst will not pay off.
