Hey Mad, More ICGX involvement ($$) related to your Feb 18 post. <<This allows numerous data calls to downstream ISPs to terminate on the MSM, rather than travel across the public switched telephone network and terminate at the ISPs' facilities>> LUCENT: ICG Communications first customer to use new multiservice module switching enhancement Presswire - February 19, 1999 14:16 M2 PRESSWIRE-19 February 1999-LUCENT: ICG Communications first Lucent Technologies customer to use new multiservice module switching enhancement (C)1994-99 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD ENGLEWOOD, COLO. -- Lucent Technologies announced today that ICG Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICGX), a leading integrated communications provider (ICP), will be the first company in the industry to use a new Lucent Technologies switching enhancement that brings data networking capabilities to an existing circuit-switched network. ICG will install Lucent's AnyMedia MultiService Module (MSM) directly into its network of 29 5ESS switches, transforming these switches into links between voice and data networks. MSM technology gives ICG the ability to offer Internet Service Providers (ISPs) cost-effective data connections and enhanced network services. ICG will finish integrating the MSM into its switch sites by the end of March 1999, representing a continuing investment in advancing the capabilities of its national network. The deployment of the MSM is part of the seven-year, $1 billion purchase agreement for products and services that Lucent and ICG announced in September 1996. "Our goal is to build the most robust and flexible network for our customers," said Robert Flood, ICG Communications' senior vice president of engineering and chief technical officer. "Lucent's MultiService Module gives us the ability to offer expanded services to an increasingly important sector of our business, the ISP marketplace." "We are pleased that ICG is taking advantage of the industry-leading 5ESS switch and its evolution to serve new markets," said Tim Gropp, Lucent sales vice president - emerging service providers. "Lucent's 5ESS switch is widely recognized as the most reliable in the industry. Lucent is now bringing that standard for reliability to its data networking solutions." Lucent's MSM, introduced on Sept. 1, 1998, is the latest evolution of the 5ESS AnyMedia Switch, which currently connects more than one hundred million lines to the public telephone network and combines voice networks with data networks. The MSM incorporates the power of Lucent Technologies PortMaster 4 remote access concentrators. Based on a next-generation, ATM switch-based, distributed processing architecture, PortMaster 4 technology delivers unprecedented flexibility, terminating any service on any port at any time. This allows numerous data calls to downstream ISPs to terminate on the MSM, rather than travel across the public switched telephone network and terminate at the ISPs' facilities.
