Catena Unveils Access System

ATLANTA -- At SUPERCOMM 2001 today, Catena Networks introduced a new class of broadband access system designed for the mass- arket deployment of broadband digital subscriber line (DSL) services and the converged, packet-based public network. The Catena CN1000 Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) is a highly integrated broadband access system that will enable carriers to cost-effectively provision and manage volume voice and DSL services. It also will help service providers make a graceful, line-by-line migration from today's circuit-based time-division multiplexed (TDM) network to a converged packet-based public network. Catena will demonstrate the CN1000 BLC, which is designed for both outside-plant and central-office applications, at Booth #7923 in Hall H of the Georgia World Congress Center.Catena Networks For more information on Supercomm 2001, please visit the Light Reading Supercomm 2001 Site.
