Hi MM < And NOBODY,
and I mean NOBODY has more expertise in migrating a telco from PBX to data with the ASND /
Stratus merged technology.>
Do you know who first mixted SS7 with ATM?
Here are few facts:

You may have heard about the move in telecommunications toward IP (internet protocol) telephony. It is a very hot subject for everyone, from
start-up companies to the CEO of AT&T. There is no doubt that this will factor in heavily in the continuing drop in long distance rates; we
have this technology well-represented among the services we currently offer.
However, another existing technology is already being used to enable you to receive low, low 7.5 cents per minute rates. You have used this
technology for years at the bank machine. Yes, it is ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) technology, and TeleHub is the first provider to offer
it. TeleHub, the carrier for our PremierCom program, has introduced its exclusive Virtual Access Services Platform©--VASP©--which allows
call-processing instructions to be moved out of the LEC central office, resulting in unsurpassed billing and control at the transaction level.
TeleHub is also committed to emerging technologies and will continue to work with leading-edge partners to deliver the simplest, most
cost-effective and flexible telecommunications solutions for customers.
Telehub is a switched reseller of MCI Worldcom, the new second-largest provider of long distance services in the United States. MCI
Worldcom originates and terminates off-net traffic for Telehub. Our high quality telecommunications network utilizes today's most modern
digital fiber-optic technology and is part of one the largest most modern networks in the telecommunications industry. This insures
PremierCom's quality and the clarity of all your telephone connections anywhere you or your business may be calling in the world.

Now you may find the following very interseting.This has happened many months before ASND bought Stratus!
( just reminder that Siemens as a alliance partner is reselling NN's ATM)BTW, you may want to learn more about ATM solution for substitution of tanden switches(bread and butter of NT and LU) for fraction of the cost:
January 1998
TeleHub Selects Siemens / Newbridge Alliance for Nationwide Voice and Data
ATM Network
Switched Voice Services to be Included in Multiservices Network HERNDON,
Virginia and BOCA RATON, Florida, January 12, 1998 ˜ TeleHub Network Services
has selected the industry-leading Siemens / Newbridge MainStreetXpress 36170
Multiservices Switch and MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager for its
nationwide asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)-based multiservices network.
TeleHub‚s broadband network will be the first network optimized to deliver
switched voice, data and video services over a multiservices platform. "By
utilizing TeleHub‚s unique VASP technology along with the MainStreetXpress
36170 platform‚s voice and data handling capabilities, modularity and
scalability, we can optimize our network and cost-effectively deliver
value-added features such as unbundled Mediated Access and Number Portability
over a flexible ATM fabric," said Mike Mclaughlin, Chief Operations
Officer,Telehub Network Services.
The MainStreetXpress 36170 Switch was chosen principally because of its
multiservices and superior voice service capabilites complemented by the
Siemens / Newbridge network and services management. TeleHub‚s Virtual Access
Services Platform (VASP), which incorporates Signaling System 7 (SS7)
technology for voice, together with the Siemens / Newbridge ATM technology,
will result in significant transport and switching efficiencies, which
translate into savings to its end customers. TeleHub Network Services will
offer switched-voice, frame relay, private line, and ATM to local exchange
carriers (LECs), competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), inter-exchange
carriers (IXCs) and independent telephone companies (ITCs).
TeleHub‚s unique strategy of using a flexible, broadband ATM platform to
fulfill the requirements of the Federal Communications Commission‚s (FCC) 14
point checklist for unbundled services on an ATM platform is a winning
proposition due to the flexibility of ATM to simultaneously support high
quality voice services, data traffic and Internet Protocol (IP) traffic
including Internet/intranets. The FCC 14 point checklist documents the
requirements operating companies must meet to enter the long distance service
provider market.
"The contract award for this leading edge network demonstrates the leadership
of the Siemens / Newbridge alliance in meeting the needs of carriers for the
integration of voice and other services onto an ATM platform, as part of an
overall multi-service strategy," stated Peter Charbonneau, President and
Chief Operating Officer, Newbridge Networks. "We are pleased with this
recognition and look forward to continuing to work with TeleHub in the
rollout and delivery of this powerful network."
The TeleHub ATM network will be deployed in key centers throughout the United
States, including Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York,
Santa Clara and Washington D.C. The sites will be connected by OC-12 or DS-3
trunks. Additional cities will be added to the network in a phased network
expansion over the next 12 months. [This was a year ago!]
TeleHub will operate a nationwide ATM network, initially offering
switched-voice services to long distance wholesale providers. It plans to
offer a wide range of additional voice services as well as data services in
the near future, all on an integrated ATM platform. TeleHub‚s key customers
are LECs, including regional bell operating companies (RBOCs), Internet
service providers (ISPs), IXCs and ITCs.
Siemens Public Communication Networks Group (Munich, Germany) and Newbridge
Networks (Kanata, Canada), two of the world leaders in ATM, formed a
strategic networking alliance in 1996 to provide carriers worldwide with the
most comprehensive and advanced ATM solution set. With this agreement, the
two companies have unified their ATM product lines under the MainStreetXpress
brand and assembled the industry‚s most extensive ATM research and
development operation ˜ more than 2,000 engineers in six countries.
